Water Fun Day

 This is my water fun day writing

Recount of our Water fun day.

This Wednesday the whole school brought togs to have a water fun swim. All of the girls in Te Puawai dashed off with our togs to get changed into our fancy togs. It was hard to get my top part on because I was so excited about the water fun swim, I started skipping along to the slippery black and soapy water slide. 

There was a blue tunnel slide that you would shoot down, then you would go flying off the end.  I kept saying to myself, “I am not doing that!” Every time it was someone's turn Sir would say, “Go!!” Then people would go.  Chase was funny because he went down and landed completely lying down, Everybody said, “Ohh.” Next, Chase stuck his thumb up and yelled, “I’m ok!” I had one turn on the slippery black water slide then wandered over to have a dip in the pool. Me and my best friend Kaydee dived all the way to the deep part of the pool trying to dodge everyone in the pool oh and also all of the net-balls and water guns. The water guns were really hard to dodge. Kaydee and I kept on screaming like this, “Aah!” Koda helped us with that too. After the scream we all started giggling. After getting really wet in the pool the two of us raced over to the little playground and tried out that slide. It was almost faster, then the big blue slide. My fourth time on the little slide I flew off the end of the light blue slide. I kept begging and begging for Kaydee to do the same as what I did. I told her that, “It does not hurt when you fly off the end.’’ I don’t think she believed me with that. Kaydee did try to fly off but she kept trying and she never stopped stopping touching the ground. After all that fun I lied down with some of my friends in the sun until we packed up.  

Finally the teachers yelled, “Time for your last turn then pack up and get changed!”  So everyone ran off and started getting changed. As all the girls were getting ready to go home and get changed Mihi got her undies on and realised she forgot her pants, Mihi yelled, “Aaah I forgot my shorts!!”  Luckily a really nice friend Koda ran off when she finished getting changed and scooped up Mihi’s pants and raced them off to her. After all that I hopped on the bus with my friends and finished my day cuddling up and reading to my family. 

Reflection

I really enjoyed it when me and Mihi jumped around in the pool dodging everyone. I loved playing with my friends in the sprinklers. Next time I will go on the blue tunnel slide.

When It Rains

 When it rains

It drips, 

It pours, 

It puddles, 

It sprinkles

and it saturates cows trying  

to snooze in their paddock. 

It showers over me when 

 I’m  scooting to the car after

shopping at my favorite store. 

I make rain when I dribble as I’m

napping in bed, my dreams 

full of chocolate cake.
