How I celebrated National Day

Journal entry for school

1st draft (unedited)

I celebrated National Day in school. We went to the school hall to sing the National Anthem, waited for our vice-principal, Miss Sim to give a speech and sing songs.

Then we went to the field to celebrate Sports Day. You will have to put the ball under your legs then hop to the first hula hoop, throw it up in the air 3 times then put it under your legs again, hop to the second hula hoop, turn it round your wist 3 time then run back to our group and pass it to our next group mates. My father and mother were there too! My father talk to Dong Han and Chongqing Shing about their life. Then we did the mexican wave then Mr Ngoh came to give the prizes.

The weather was fine and sunny and I enjoyed the games very much.

I celebrated National Day in school. Early in the morning, we went to the school hall to sing National Anthem, waited for our vice-principal, Miss Sim to give a speech and sing National day songs such as 'In a Heartbeat' and 'Home'.

Then we went to the field to celebrate Sports Day. The game we played needed us to put the ball under our legs then hop to the first hula hoop, throw it up in the air three times then put under our legs again' hop to the second hula hoop, turn it round our waist three times then run back to our group and pass it to our next group mate. My father and mother were there too! My father talked to Dong Han and Ching Shing about school life. Ten. Did the Mexican wave and Mr Ngoh came to give out the medals. I lost but I felt happy because I like sports.

The weather was fine and sunny. I enjoyed the games very much.

How I spent my June holiday

Journal entry for school

The first week of my holidays I swam almost everyday and played tennis. I felt tired but happy. Then my mother brought us us to Australia for 12 days. In Australia we went to places such as Moonlit Sanctuary, farms and Mt Baw Baw. We rented a car to travel.

There are some interesting Places such as Moonlit Sanctuary and Mornington Rail. At Moonlit Sanctuary at Moonlit Sanctuary we got to feed animals such as wallabies, kangaroos and many other animals. I was excited! At Mornington Rail we met a girl called Ebony. It was fun sitting on the train. We could stick our hands out of the windows.

During our trip, we went to Boggabrie Farm to stay for 2 days. When we got there we went to play and collect acorns. I kept my acorns in a bush under a tree. Then we went to the beach near the farm. At night we ate noodles then we went to sleep.

The next day, we went to herd the cows to sell at the market. Then we went to another farm to herd the cows again. After herding the cows, we went to eat lunch and fish. Then we went back to Uncle Donald's farm to feed the cows. Then we went back to eat and sleep.

After the farmstay, we went to Mt Baw Baw to ski and toboggan. The skiing was fun! You will have to bend your knees and slide forward. The toboggan was fun too! The toboggan is something like a sleigh. Just sit on it and slide down.

One of the days we went for a bush walk at Wilson's Promontory. We walked to the beach. We also saw some animals on the road such as wild kangaroos and emus.

I wish to go back again because I love to ski. I learnt about new animals such as wombats and Tasmanian devils. I also liked the weather because it was cold.
