Chair Tiggy Recount

WALT: To practise doing recounts. 

Paragraph 1: Introduction. Paragraph 2:  What to do and how to play the game Paragraph 3: How we played the game. Paragraph 4: My favourite part of the game. Paragraph 5: Conclusion.

  

Aww!  I said to myself.  Our literacy class were playing a game called Chair Tiggy. I was the first one to start running.

In Chair Tiggy there are two teams. One team is for the running team and the other team is the taggers team. If you're a runner your job is to not get caught from the taggers and you can also run in between the chairs of the tagging team. If you’re a tagger your job is to tag the person but you are not allowed to run in between the chairs. the rest of your team are sitting in their chairs and you can tap on the back of their chairs so your team can go and get the runners.

Now our game wasn’t easy because instead of playing in the field we got to play on the gravel and they would hurt if you trip on them. When we were a runner we’d go and not get tagged for about one minute and then we’ll get caught from exhaustion.

Our taggers are mostly fast and after everyone on the runners team has had a turn we swap over to become taggers and we get to do the same thing.

Holiday Writing

Wow what an amazing show I thought in my head,before assembly we had an awesome show called Cindy in da house on the last day of school. On Monday me and my brother Lynn was signed up in a school holiday programme we went into two different programmes and they were called Allan Brewster and YMCA Lagoon in Panmure. On Mondays and Fridays we would go to Allan Brewster on the rest of the days we would go to the YMCA Lagoon, we liked it there because my granduncle works right next to the YMCA. On Monday we did games day we did sports and teams all day. All week we had to go to the holiday programme and we had very good fun. At the Lagoon we would sometimes go out and go to the park one time we went to the Howick historical village. On Friday it was a good day for me because I got to go on my own my little brother was very sick so i got to go by myself I had a disco party at Allan brewster it was fun there was lolly scrambles and glow sticks everyone got a growling for not listening though. After that i felt really good for going out and meeting new friends. I think next time I should go to YMCA Lagoon in Panmure because it’s more fun than Allan brewster.
