At school at the start of this term I was asked to write a recount about what I did in the school holidays. At first I was worrying because I couldn’t think of anything, but as I slowly started writing as soon as I’d finish writing about one thing I would remember another. I really enjoyed my school holidays so it was really fun writing about it. Here is my recount:
I am writing to tell you about the stuff I did during the school holidays. I mostly spent my time at home reading a book or possibly just enjoying the fact that I didn’t have to do much. I also spent a lot of time working on my math badge. The math badge that I chose is one of many other badges each with their own type of math. The badge that I chose is about 3D shapes so I have to complete various different activities about 3D shapes. After I finish the badge work I then get the badge. I spent some of my other time doing Children’s University work to earn hours to get a higher level.
During the first week of the school holidays I went over to Kaiden Seymour’s house because we are good friends. Somewhere in the middle of the school holidays the whole Hammond family (except dad who was working) went to the Arts Center and the Teece Museum to do lots of fun activities, we visited/did: the Teece Museum, the Great Hall, Matariki star harakeke weaving, and fudge making. My favourite thing was fudge making. We were given a lump of fudge to mould into shapes, decorate with lollies and then put in the fridge before eating. It tasted so good!
Near the end of the school holidays everyone except dad (working) went to Spreydon library to do a magical treasure hunt. I learnt that Spreydon library is tiny! The treasure hunt was okay but after that we made origami dragon bookmarks and that was cool. Around that time we also made a lantern in the shape of a bunny. First, we made the frame out of willow branches, then we put paper mache all over it, finally we cut out a face and glued it on, it was cool. Speaking of cool things, on one of the days just before the end of the school holidays we had spaghetti bolognese which is one of my favorite foods. A few days before the end, my dad took me and the girls to a hiking and biking place on a mountain. First we rode a chairlift to the top then hiked down. That was my favorite thing even though it took a long time. On the second to last day my mum and dads friends came over for lunch to share our Matariki feast. We had something that resembled each star and my favorite was the jacket kumara from Tupuanuku. And then on the last day I just relaxed and enjoyed the holidays before going to see Matariki in the night.
