My Day off School

This weekend I went to Auckland with my mum and dad. In Auckland we went Christmas shopping at the mall. I got $50 to spend for my Christmas shopping. I got my dad a t - shirt, my sister a book, my brother a tie dye t - shirt, my step sister a jasmine scented candle and last of all my mum a mushroom made out of wool that you can pull the top off and inside it there is a fake candle that lights up.

Cricket

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about cricket. We played non stop cricket. The batting team had to stay inside the cones if you were in line and hit the ball to the fielders without hitting the wickets after you hit the ball you run to a pad and hop back in line also if you hit the wickets you get that bat out. The fielders have to grab the ball after it has been hit. I learnt how to hold the bat by making a v shape with both of your hands.

Poetry

 In Te Maunga we have been learning about poetry. We had to find metaphors, simile, alliteration, adjectives and adverbs. When we did this I learnt what metaphors are. A metaphor is a simile but it can’t have like or as in it.
