Refugee Interview: Mary, Tess & Emily

For my last reading activity I decided to team up with Emily and Tess.  We decided to do an interview with " Alan Gratz".  I was Alan Gratz, Emily was the crazy fan and Tess was the interviewer.  We did this because Alan Gratz is the author of refugee.

Weekend Journal

My weekend Journal 

On Saturday morning my dad and I went to town to get some groceries.  We had to be back before 3:00, because we had a special birthday party to attend.  After groceries we went to one of dad's friend's house, that took about an hour.  Pretty sure our ice-cream 🍦 melted by the time we got home.  When we got home I was so exited, but dad decided to go on the farm, that took about 20 or so minutes.  My siblings and I got all dressed up for the party, I wore a dress ( a very long dress) and so did Brianna.  The boys wore their best suits.  We soon arrived at the party at 5:49, surprisingly we were in time.  There was heaps of food, games and people.  It was two birthdays together, my niece and nephew.  They rented out a hall, we went back home about 8:50.

On Sunday I woke up at 11:00 am, I ate my breakfast.  On Sunday night we watched a family movie, after that ended we watched the Common Wealth Games.  Mum, Dad and I stayed up until 11:49.

Easter Weekend Journal

On Friday I got to video call my best friend, Lucy.  We talked and talked until one of my friend's came over, the first time we met was last year at a birthday party.  We saw each other again twice, one this year and the other last year at the Filipino Christmas party.  Her name is Clara and she is Mr Cook's daughter.  Clara and I went to play on the bails with my siblings, we played hide and seek and tag.  

On Friday night, me and my mum pumped up  a lot of balloons for Brianna and Bruce's birthday party.  Dad also told us a story about his accident, which happened when he was 16.  It was really interesting to hear, after we pumped up all of the balloons I made 2 cards.

Saturday was the day of Brianna and Bruce's birthday party, Mackenzie and Pippa came and we played on the bails and ate heaps of food.  I got to play with my nephew and niece, they are also having a birthday party this week.

On Sunday we had an Easter egg hunt, I'm pretty sure I got the most.  Bryce got the biggest prize though, we ate all our Easter eggs and I got a bit sick.  Not just because of the Easter eggs, but also all the food from the party.

On Monday and Tuesday we didn't really do much, we just chilled and relaxed.

Weekend Journal

My weekend wasn't filled with glamour or anything fun...

We watched movies, played outside, did some biking and I went to get wood.

While I got the wood the weather wasn't too bad, but when I went to bring the wood to the house it was pouring with rain.  I also didn't have a jacket on, but it was worth it.  

On Saturday I tried to make pancakes, that didn't go as planned because they were shaped a bit oddly.  This was my first time so that's why, apparently they tasted good.  

On Sunday I had to clean my room for Brianna and Bruce's birthday party which is not that far away.  Although their birthdays are a day apart they are having it on the same day, because there's no point if there was two birthdays. 

I did a bit of drawing and reading for some practice because I want to get better at both of those things.

On Sunday a random dog that looks like one of our dogs called Maggie appeared in front of our house, we still don't know who's it is but we are trying to find out.

Instructional writing

We have been reminding ourselves how to make instructional writing, we learnt the different languages in instructional writing.  For our instructional writing we decided to make raro, we then wrote what we did.
