Swoosh! Swoosh! I could hear the ocean. It was a Saturday Morning in the wonderful Mahinapua. My family and I were spending time with each other at the beach. We had big plans and I couldn't wait. I wanted to get started but it was just too early and cold.  Breakfast time came, we were having pancakes I said, “Yummy yummy for my tummy.” Hours later it was time for the fun to start.

I was having the time of my life riding on the jet ski. Do you love the feeling of wind going through your hair? I sure do. I was cruising on a jet ski with my cousin Deliam. My mum was on a jet ski and every time I would look at her she would fall off. My cousin Delia and I  were playing a game of tiggy my other cousins were chasing us. It took years for them to catch us. After that amazing game of tiggy we went water skiing. My mum went into the water for a swim. I was so nervous because I might of fall off and embarrassed myself but I really wanted to go on. It was finally my turn, I held on really really tight. I started moving and butterflies flew through my stomach. The speed started picking up and it got faster and faster. My fingers started slipping and I couldn't hold on. I tried to give a sign to slow down but they didn't see and then the unwanted moment came. Splash! I fell off.

Swoop! Swoop! I started freestyling to shore then I saw my mum on a donut drifting deep into sleep I turned around as quick as I could. I sneaked up, “Boo” I said. She didn't even hear me I started saying “wake up wake up” she woke up with a shock. I started splashing her she hopped out of her donut and started splashing me It was an awesome water fight. After that we went back to shore my mum dried herself. Then she started screaming, the whole world could hear her I went up to her and said, “What happened mum” she sadly said, “ I lost my gold ring.”  Ding! An idea popped to my head I said to my mum, “We could go on a treasure hunt.

The treasure hunt was on. We all took a plastic spade and started digging. I shouted out “ I'm going to find it first”. My cousin said, “Bring it on.” We were digging for hours and hours, the sun started going down. All we could see was the water. I was starting to fall asleep, and then I saw someone hold up a circle. Straight away I thought that is the ring “noooooooooooo” . I ran to get a torch and shined it on the person It was my cousin alisa. I said “dammit” We ran to my mum and said, “ Guess what?” she said, “ What?” Alisa said back “ I found your ring” her face lit up she gave her a big hug. My mum was so so so happy.

She put her ring back on,  her eyes opened wide and you could see the joy on her face The day sadly had to end I had a sensational day but also a frightening day. I still was a bit embarrassed from falling off the water ski.  I will never forget that day that my cousin found my mums gold ring that I fell off a water ski played tiggy on a jet ski.

Sentences

This week we have been learning about complex,compound and simple sentences. We had to make a DLO to share our learning and teach others. I know that I understand these sentences because I can use them in my writing. My next step will be to give more examples. Here is my DLO enjoy.

Don’t throw away, recycle for another day.

This term I have been learning to work collaboratively on an inquiry topic. My group decided to work together to create a movie that will encourage and persuade other people in my school to recycle their yoghurt containers. Here is the finished movie. I am proud of what my team and I have achieved. Let me know what you think by commenting.

This week we have been screencastify our speech. WALT to read with fluency and expression. What I want to improve on is slowing down because I was going fast. I was proud of my self because I would change the speed of my voice and change the sound of my voice. What I found hard was being brave when I was talking in front of people around me. What I found easy was speaking clearly and loudly.

To be successful I will: 

Speak clearly and loudly 

Pause at full stops and commas 

Change the speed and sound of my voice
