My Weekend Recount

MY WEEKEND





This weekend I had quite a bit of fun, I played and made games, I got up early on Anzac day and I even went crawlyling.




“Jack, Jack, GET UP” Mum said as I slowly rose up from the spot I had been lying asleep. I got up, rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked at Mum. She told me that it was Anzac day. Then she left to get on her own clothes. I lay back down, closed my eyes and just lay there. I got up and put on some warm clothes and shuffled into the kitchen to wait for Mum and Dad. Mum came out and then Dad. Dad went to make his coffee and Mum and I waited for him. It was nearly six so Mum and I ambled off to the mailbox. Mum drew out her phone and played the radio so that we could listen to the service. For the rest of that day me and Charlie made huts inside and played in them. The next day I went crawlying.




The sun was setting as me and my little brother asked Dad if we could go crawlying. He said “go do your chores and we will see”. So we did, Dad said yes. Yay! We got all ready and then we left. Then we turned on our headlights and had a look. I spotted a crawly and Charlie moved in for the kill, aannnnnndddddd………… SPLASH!! Charlie grabbed the first crawly, the first and definitely not the last! We kept on catching crawly after crawly. We came to a place with crawlies galore. I spotted a huge one down near the bottom and there was another biggish one over top of it on a rock. First Charlie grabbed the biggish one. I climbed up the bank of the water race and flagged dad down. He stopped and I told him what we saw. He came down and shifted some of the bigger rocks around the crawly so we could get at him better. Then Charlie plunged his hand into the water……. KA-SPLOOSH!! Charlie had just grabbed THE BIGGEST CRAWLY WE HAD CAUGHT THAT NIGHT. We only took home 7 and let the others go. It was all good fun! The next day Charlie and I made some games.




On Monday I made some board games, one was called ‘I Bet, U Gamble’. It is a game where you start off with five hundred dollars and you place down your money that you wish to gamble for. You have two dice each and you try to roll doubles (like six and six). You have to pay to play. It is quite fun. I made another one called ‘NATIONS AT WAR’. It is a bit like Dungeons And Dragons. You have to conquer the other nations. To win every one has to be dead and the nation with the most other nations conquered wins.




THAT WAS MY WEEKEND!!!

MY BOAT I'M MAKING

This is the boat I'm making. I got the idea to make this from a book that I'm reading. It is The Famous Five, Five On Treasurer Island. One of the characters was whittling a boat, since I have a pocket knife I thought it was a good idea to make one over the lock down to keep me busy.

I went out to see Dad because I wanted to carve a boat with my knife. I thought I would ask Dad for some wood to carve. He said I should have a look in the wood shed (we have lots of bits of cut up wood in there). I looked in and found the perfect piece of wood. It was a little bit big. So first I drew the shape of my boat, then I got a hand saw and sawed it off around the boat.

I have been working on it each day and it is really starting to look like a boat. It is a really fun activity to do in this lock down. Still I don't like not being allowed to play with my friends.
