Surprise!
Kia ora, this week I REALLY wanted to try to write a really well thought out recount. Last week my teacher showed my hole class Quick writes that were done to a really high standard. They were neat and interesting to listen to, and it made me think, am I doing the BEST, ''I can do,'' or am I just getting it done? So I pushed myself to try follow the success criteria as much as possible. I hope that you enjoy, and if you have any feedback I would love to hear it.
Out of nowhere, we all jumped out and screamed surprise! You might have been thinking that me and my friends, had thrown a surprise birthday , or a welcome home party? Well if you did, you guessed wrong. It was a going away party. For my friend Mia. Mia had no idea that all of her friends were there. She thought she was just coming for a play. Really we were all saying goodbye...
I wanted to wish Mia on her way, but how would I invite everyone to my house without Mia noticing ? My friend and I thought up a canning plan. Ella said,''why don't you try and distract her, while I give out the invites? '' Getting the finer details right would be crucial! For instance, the cake! Thinking of Mia, I thought that we could make a beach themed cake,-JANDALS, I said to my mum! We looked up a recipe, and followed it. The last thing we needed to do was sort out the snacks. What we wanted for snacks was, Chips, Chocolate, Drinks, Ice blocks and last but definitely not least (in my mums eyes, ...Fruit!) When the next day arrived , mum and I got all the food ready for the party; it was time...
All of us hid behind a couch or a chair, and nervously waited for Mia to arrive. Some one could hear them coming and said , ''Ready ? Be quite. Can you hear them? 1, 2, 3 I whispered... SURPRISE!!! Everyone was so happy, and Mia was also excited and grateful for all of the warming smiles and hugs. Over all I remember being so happy to send Mia away knowing that we all really care about her!
