40 minute recount

“Aaaah, I think I just saw a crab!!! “, I yelled. In the school holidays me and family went to the beach. On that sunny day I was playing in the sand until I thought I felt a rock? I pulled it out mysteriously and took a look, It was a crab! It was white and scary. I quickly stood up and ran as far as possible. “Hey, Annliz, Annliz come and play!!”, my cousin shouted. So I ran to them


My cousins were jumping off a high rock as if they were jumping into money. I was so scared. “C’mon!”, My cousin shouted from down low. I closed my eyes and counted down from 3. “3,2,1”, I whispered. I jumped so high and went down into the cold and shallow sea like a bomb.


After that we headed to shore to have a drink, It was weird because my cousin said he wasn’t thirsty. I wondered why? Asking him why he wasn’t thirsty, He burped back at me. “Ew!!!”, I said blocking my nose.


The waves were so harsh, loud and awesome, just awesome!

Spoken Poem

Where I come from, the breeze is best and the sun is most powerful
When you’re at the beach you might see
seaweed flowing to the shore
When you’re at the beach
You hear the seagulls squawking as they soar
You can taste salty sea water
You can hear waves splashing against slippery rocks

Where I come from, my school is full of knowledge
The world sees what we share through electronic devices
You hear round of applause
We are the champions at sports
We bring back the Shiny Shimmery Sparkling Trophies
We celebrate success
We get appreciated
At my school, we use the pt england way
We wear it with pride
And god is who we pray

Where I come from, my neighbours are louder than my sister screaming in my face
See kids running and playing down the street
Smelling something delicious cooking in the kitchen
Wondering what was cooking walking towards the door to have a quick peek
Mmmm! My mum was making butter chicken
I hear laughter coming from my sister talking on her phone all night
My sister always runs around to try and lose a pound
Where I live, I always feel safe and sound
