School Holidays

On Tuesday, on the last week of the holidays I went tobogganing, with my dad and some friends. To start off the day, I packed my bag full of warm and fluffy clothes, my gloves and my hat. I put my jacket on and waited for our ride. While I was waiting, I sat by the fire playing with my cat and watched some tv. 

But when our ride came, I rushed out the door and jumped in the car. It was a pretty long ride, but I daydreamed through most of it. 

Finally when we got to our location, I got out of the car and looked at the snow. It was really sparkly from the sun beaming onto the ground. So of course I had to pick it up and throw it at my dad, then he got some snow and threw some at me. 

After going to the frozen lake and having a massive snowball fight, we got back to the car and had some food and water. Once we all finished we got back in the car and drove to a hill to toboggan down. I was so thrilled.

We all chose a spot that had an awesome drop at the end. I was the first up the hill. When I started using my hands to climb, I realized the snow was really icy so it kinda hurt my hands when they dug into the snow. But when I went down for the first time, I was really scared, especially when I got to the drop. THUD! I fell off the toboggan and landed on my side. It hurt A LOT! But of course I went up again and again and again.

After maybe an hour I decided to climb all the way to the top of the mountain with my dad, and then our friends joined in. My dad had to help me with some parts because the snow was really deep and I kept on falling in massive holes. But once we finally got to the top, I fell in the snow and sat there. It was so nice. A while later I felt really thirsty and grabbed some snow and ate it. It was pretty cold. Once we decided we should go back down, we sat down and slid all the way down. After that, my legs hurt a lot.

On the ride back home, I had a long nap.

Is my holiday story True or False?

True or False?

On the first day back at school in Term 2 we all had to write a story about our holiday and it had to be True or False, and here is what I wrote:

On the weekend before the holidays started, my dad, my Aunty and I drove to the Kingsford Kitchen in Rangiora for brunch, for my Grandad’s birthday. We were early so we waited outside in the carpark for my Grandad and my Grandma to come.

Finally when everybody was sitting down at the table we got our menus and looked through them to see what we could get. Obviously I got a kids menu so I didn’t have much of a choice, I wanted the pancakes but I chose the chicken burger instead because I usually have pancakes if I have brunch.

After a while we finally got our food, but I didn’t finish all of it so my dad finished it for me, but it was still very delicious, especially the fries I got with it.

After we all finished eating we all went outside and said our goodbyes and got in our cars and drove home. I enjoyed it and I definitely want to go there again and try their pancakes and maybe bring some of my friends with me. On the drive back home I saw lots of the countryside, it was beautiful. I really enjoyed spending time with my family, and I hope I can do it another time.

So do you think my story is True or do you think my story is False? Please leave what you think in the comments!
