Holiday Recount - The Movies

During the holidays I went to the movies with my cousin, sister and brother and our parents dropped us off. We went to the movies because it was my cousins birthday.

I woke up happy because we got something special for my cousins birthday, we gave her money it was $20.  We picked up my cousin from her house, we gave her the money and she said “Thank you for the money I can get me some clothes”. We went to new world and  got popcorn, lollies and drinks for our movie. We were so excited!

We got to the the movies and decided to watch Brave.  We went to the counter to buy our tickets,then gave our tickets to the ticket lady and went into the cinema.

The movie Brave was about a redhead, curly/frizzy haired teenager called Merida who liked to play with a bow and arrow. Merida got her first bow and arrow from her father when she was a little girl for her birthday.

One day when Merida was practicing a giant demon bear tried to attack her and her family. Merida and her mother escaped while her father and his men fought off the bear, her father lost his left leg.
Years went by and the mother gave birth to three identical triplet boys. Merida was a free adventurous teenager but then her mother forced her into an arranged marriage and she was not happy about it. Merida runs away into the woods and comes across will-o-the-wips. They led her to a witch and the witch gave her a spell in a form of a cake to give to her mother to change her mind.

 Merida gives the cake to her mother and the cake turns her mother into a bear so Merida and her three triplet brothers helps her to sneak their mother(Bear) out of the castle.
They went back to the witch to change her mother back and the witch was gone and Merida was left fix her mother with her three brothers.The witch cave a position to her mother to change her

After the movies we went to the warehouse to wait for our big cousin to take us home. When we got home we told our parents all about the movie and how great it was. And that was one of the activities we did in the holidays. I had a fun day at the movies!

WALT: record what we have been learning about this term, including our thoughts and feelings

Term 2 Highlights!

This term I really enjoyed playing Netball for the Tamaki Primary  team. I enjoyed it because we played against Panmure Bridge school. We lost, but I enjoyed it because it was a close game.

I also liked learning about making movies this term. I learnt how to write scripts and how to act in front of the camera. We watched all the movies that the other classes filmed. I thought they were funny and cool.

This term I have also learnt how to ask questions about what I have read. It helps me to understand what I am reading about. I like to read Roald Dahl books because they are interesting and fantastic!

About Me

I am a Year 5 student at Tamaki Primary School in Auckland NZ. I am in Room 6 and my teacher  is Mr Craig. My favourite subjects are Maths, Topic and Reading. I like topic because it helps you make movies and reading helps you undrstand books better.  I like using number in different ways in Maths. My hobbies are going to the pools and going to the Library. In the future I would like to become a policewoman.

Happy Mother's day

On mother’s day I gave my mother a card and a heart pancake and my sister gave my mother a happy mother’s day cake. My brother gave my mother breakfast and after that we went to my auntys house.
