Hannah’s holidays

Term 2 holidays
On the first week of the holidays I went with a group of friends to cloud nine and laser tag. They were an hour late but it didn’t really matter because we didn’t book anything. The drive up was filled with loud music and laughing. When we finally arrived we went through a narrow car park but there wasn’t any car parks so we turned around, however what I didn’t know was that there was this huge bump that we had to drive over so when we did one side of the car was higher than the other side. We eventually found a car park not so far from cloud nine. We walked inside hoping we would be able to jump right in. When we were waiting in line we saw a couple of people from our school and people who used to go to our school. We found out that the place had been booked since 9 till 1 so we booked the 2 o’clock session and paid. We got some kfc while we were waiting.

 An hour had passed and we walked back in. It was so fun!They had a beam with these fighting stick things and they also had an obstacle course. It was so much better than flip city. After an hour we all walked outside got a frozen coke from Mc Donalds and searched up our next destination. The drive there was so confusing because google maps just lead us in circles the whole time. It was so funny though. After a long and confusing drive we finally arrived. We all crowded into a small lobby and paid for laser tag. Luckily we didn’t have to wait. We had to watch a very short safety video before we started saying how we couldn’t run and how we had to stay 5 feet away from your other competitors. Nobody really listened though because we were all watching a grown woman trying to fit under some laser lines without getting hit. We finally got started we were separated into two teams one had four girls and the other had 2 girls and one little girl. I was in the team which had the little girl in it. We got to play with only each other but the teams were a little bit unfair. After two rounds passed we all got in the car and drove home. It was filled with pointing out which houses we wanted and some sleeping but overall it was a good day.

Reading Plus 

                This video is about how I do reading plus and how boring it is. Reading plus is a site where our class does homework on like many other classes. I personally don’t like because I am really bad at it and I get all the answers wrong.
