Wow! That was really fun!

 On Friday my dad took my siblings and I to chipmunks near Pakuranga Plaza. When we got there I went straight to the Super Ball Blaster. When I was there, I had to go to the ground and use the buckets to put the small colourful balls inside. Then go back up to the Super Ball Blaster and place them into a small hole on top of the gun and press down on the button which will then shoot out the ball.

After playing the Super Ball Blaster for a while, I went to the park with my two sisters. We went on the big red slide which seemed dark and long. After that we were thirsty and luckily my dad brought us drinks. They were cold, tasty and really refreshing.

I made some friends at Chipmunks. We played tag. Tag was fun because we were all chasing, running and screaming really loud. Sometimes, I get confused who the tagger was because there a lot of children playing with us.

I was tired and sweaty when I was preparing for the tagger. The tagger found me and started chasing me. I was running fast like an animal running for it’s life.

After that, some of my friends left. Then we had some lunch, I had a basket loaded with yummy hot chips and some tasty nuggets. I ate slowly because I didn’t want to get a stitch when I play.When we got home, I took a nice, refreshing shower because I was hot tired and sweaty.

I really enjoyed having lots of fun at the Super Ball Blaster. I thanked my dad for taking us there. I hope next time, I’ll try to make more time for me to eat so I don’t get hungry when I play because I got hungry after playing at the park.

On Wednesday 28th of July, our basketball team from St Patrick’s school went Tamaki Recreation centre straight after school for our basketball game. Our game was against Pt. England red.

The game was aggressive and time went by really quickly. I didn't think the game was fair. They put two tall boys on in the first half and the second half of the game.

I had  fun running with the ball and passing it to my team mates and we skilled them with handling the ball. So we could score. However we did not score because they were fast fast and good dribblers.

The awesome player in our team was Dohn, Glen and Siu, because they used their skill and techniques really well by getting past the other team  and stealing the ball.

The other team was the same, they also stole a lot of balls from us. As time went by, we scored some more goals. However we did not win.

Even though we lost, I thought we were winners because we used the skills that we learnt at training to score some goals.

I had fun playing  on the court  because it made me feel like a professional player.

Next time, I will try to call for the ball and train more at school and at home.
