My Holidays

Learning Intention: To use the features of a recount to share a personal experience


By the time I’d finished swimming at the wave pools on Monday, my hands looked like prunes because they were so wrinkled.

Around half past one in the afternoon Mica, Cheska and I were waiting at Cheska’s house for Chaim and her mum to pick us up. We saw them in their dark blue car coming into the driveway. We hastily grabbed our bags loaded with towels and rushed through the front door ready to go to the wave pools.  Once we arrived we walked to the dressing rooms and put our bathing suits on. We put our bags on the bench and hopped in the pool. It was kind of crowded because of the school holidays.

I climbed step by step by step on the stairs walking my way up to the water slide by myself because Cheska, Chaim and Mica were all too scared. When the green light went go I pushed myself down the slide. Near the end I got stuck and two girls behind me collided and we flipped over at the end of the slide.

After swimming in waves and chlorine we all went back to the changing rooms and changed out of our bathing suits. Chaim’s mum dropped me back home and my hands were back to normal.
