No, it's my last week for guitar class!

I woke up still feeling exhausted on a windy Saturday morning. First, I got ready for my guitar class. Then, I washed my face as fast as a cheetah so I would be the first person to be at guitar class lesson.

      Before long, my mum and I hopped into the car and went to guitar class. While my mum was driving, I looked at the rugby field and I couldn't  see a game playing today.
     When I got to guitar class I said, "Goodbye" to my mum and went inside. Then, I said, "Hello to my teacher Vernon.
     After that, we started off with sitting in a circle to play Ode Joy one by one.
     I started of and Vernon said that I was wonderful. Then we got into pairs to play another song called Ferolise with each other. My partner was called Maggie. We both played it at normal speed at first then we played it more faster and faster.
     When we finished , we went into a circle again to play a new song with these chords Am, E, Am, C, E and Am. After I practised the new song the clock hit 11 o'clock. I rushed outside to see if my mum was there, but she wasn't so I had to go back inside to wait for her. After a little while, I went to check for her again but she still wasn't there. Then, I checked one last time and she finally arrived.
    Once I hopped in the car, my mum told me that we were going to my auntie's house. However, we had to go back home to get ready. First, I grabbed some fun activities to play with. Then, I brought my guitar cards, a joke book, my drawing pad and some little snacks.
   Soon, my grandma, mum and I hopped straight into the car and went to my aunties house. Twenty to twenty five minutes later, we all were there. I said, "Hello" and then went back into the car because we had to drop off my grandma and her sister to someone elses house. After we dropped them off, we said, "Goodbye". Then, my cousin, mum and I headed to Pizza hut because we were all hungry. We picked Pepperoni, Hawaiian and beef and onion. After an hour we picked up my grandma and her sister. Then, we all ate the pizza altogether like a happy family.

Can I be your friend Geronimo?

Title: Geronimo Stilton and the best of friends.
Author: Elisabetta Dami 

Once upon a time there were seven mice. Their names were Geronimo, Thea (sister), Trap (cousin), Benjamin (nephew), Bugsy Wugsy ( Niece), Hercule Poirates (friend) and Grandma Rot rock. 

On a sunny and hot day Geronimo went to the market. He saw a famous comedian called Rattney Danger-fur  and noticed that it was just a statue what a bummer. 

After that, Geronimo walked over to his cousin Trap because he was selling fresh but mouldy drinks for one wood-stone. Then, Geronimo bumped into another famous mice called Paleo Pickax. He kept talking to Paleo Pickax about his amazing adventures when they finally became the best of friends.

My favourite part of the story was when Geronimo and Paleo Pickax became friends because Paleo Pickax was Geronimo's first ever friend. 

We are learning to develop understanding of what I have read.
I know this when I retell the story of Geronimo Stilton Cavemice and describe my favourite part of the story.

Hey everybody, do you want to go to my dance performance?

On Saturday the 23rd of September I had my dance performance at Te Oro in Glenn Innes.
      First I washed my face and had my breakfast. For breakfast I had a pie from the bakery and it was delicious.

      When I got there I ran inside and said, "Hello" to everyone in my class. Then we started off to sit into a circle to play the song called Ferolise. We all played the song very slowly.
      After that, we all paired up so I went with Evelen. Evelen and I played the song Ferolise together and then we played a new song called Summertime.
      Soon, it was time to go home so I said, "Goodbye" to my teacher and rushed to the car. When I got home I had 20 minutes in the shower and then I changed into my black clothes. When everybody was ready my mum, cousin, grandma and I went to my performance. While my mum was driving, my mum stopped to buy a clip for my hair so that I could put my hair into a bun
       When we got there, I felt nervous but I had to believe in myself that I could do it.  Then, I went into a changing room where all my friends were getting ready to perform as well.
        When it was time to perform, I gave my teacher a hug and a big thank you for all the effort that she has put into training us. While I was dancing my mum had a big smile on her face. This encouraged me to dance as well as I could. After the dance, my mum gave my teacher the lolly necklace to say thank you. Next, my friends and I took photos with each other. Then we took photos with our family members to remember this awesome day.
 Today was a busy day but it was still a magical day filled with music and dancing. My favourite part of the day was when I took photos of my friends because we'll be able to look at that later on and remember what a wonderful day it was.

Today at Duffy Assembly, we met a lady called Tasha. She was on X Factor. She was here to promote reading everyday. The awesome part of the day was when she sang a song called Mama Knows Best.

Finally, we took some selfies and pictures with her. Today was awesome, because we got to meet Tasha, the wonderful beautiful singer.
