Happy birthday to you!

On a sunny Saturday my brother, mum, dad and I got ready for my dad's 30th birthday celebration.

The celebration started at three o'clock in the afternoon over at my big house. My dad was getting the barbecue while my mum prepared the plates, forks, spoons, bowls and cups. While I was helping my dad to cook the crispy beef, my aunt arrive with my cousin. They brought cooked meat patties with them.

A while later, everyone started to arrive. My aunts, cousins, uncles and grandma all came. Once everyone has arrived we stopped cooking the food and we all gathered around for me to say the food grace.
Afterwards, I got a wide plate and I put some sausages, potato salad and a piece of strawberry cake in my plate. They were all tasty and nice because I was hungry.

After I finished eating all the food on plate, I put on my green hat quickly so that my relatives and I can go to the park.

Once we were at the park I ran to the swings. I was swinging as high as I could. Then I went to the big slide and it was so much fun because I went down the slide as fast as a speeding bullet. Unfortunately soon it was time to for our guests to go so when I got home from the park, I waved goodbye to everyone.

My favourite part of the day was when I was eating all the yummy food because it was all so tasty.

Swimming is my favourite sport!

I'm so exited! On a hot sunny Saturday my grandma, aunt, baby cousin, cousin and I walked to the swimming pools in Panmure. We walked from our grandma's house to the pools and it took us 15 minutes to get to the pools.

When we got inside, we paid and received our wrist bands. I took off my watch and put it in a container so that I can pick it up when we leave.

I quickly put on my swimming clothes and dived straight into the warm pool. I was diving and floating in the water. While I was floating, my grandma told my cousin and I that we were going soon.

So I hopped out of the pool and went to the outside pool. When I jumped into the water the water was freezing cold so I jumped out of the pool like a cat in hot water. Step by step, I walked into the cold water until I got use to the water.

Soon my grandma called for us to get changed so that we could go and have some lunch. I ate some ham sandwiches and a chocolate smoothie. The chocolate smoothie was cold and the ham sandwiches were  yummy.

Unfortunately soon it was time to leave so I picked up my watch and my family and I waved goodbye as we walked out of the doors.

My favourite part was when I was swimming in the inside pools. I liked it because it was easier to swim in the warm water as it wasn't freezing cold.
