Beach Day

Beach Day

On Monday the last day of February the middle syndicate went to Tahunanui Beach. I was in group five.

First we did a treasure game. It is where we’re divided into teams. There’s two people if you get tagged you go to the other teams prison. The aim of the game is to not get tagged and get the other sides cones. My team won.

In the playground there was some new equipment there. There was a square hammock black thing held by four purple metal sticks. There was a caterpillar balancing beam and there was a climbing rope. Guess what? It spins around. There is a bottom floor and a top floor.

We built sandcastles. We were allowed partners . I chose Zane. We got buckets and shovels to make the sandcastle. We filled the bucket with sand but it didn’t work so we destroyed it. With the sand we patted it down so then we did it again.

I liked beach day.

My Teddy Bear

My Little Teddy Bear

My little teddy bear is my icon from the past. It was given to me on my 0^th birthday.

It is dark yellow with black oval eyes and one brown nose. You could probably fit it into a lunch box.

I can not sleep without him, he’s my friend. I’m never going to give him away, not even for $1000.00.

One time in England at Disneyland, at a little gift shop I accidentally left him there. Dad was looking everywhere then at last we found him. He was in the gift shop on the floor.

I was sad when he went all dark yellow. So we put him in the washing machine. But silly me, 5 years later he was dark yellow again so I put him in the washing machine. But this time it did not come off. I did not care, he was still him. He is still my friend.

One day at Dad’s I could not find him so we went to the Recycling Centre. In the box there was a big teddy. I said I wanted him.

“OK, how much is the teddy bear?”

“$1:00. Here you go.”

When we got home guess what? I looked under my pillow.

Teddy!
