How many pixar dominoes from Countdown do you have?
At six o'clock on Sunday afternoon, my cousins, auntie and uncle came to our motel room to have dinner with us. First my cousin and I traded some dominoes with each other. I got a character from the movie Walle, her name was Eve and my cousin got a character from Monsters INC and his name was Sulley.
After that, we webt into my bedroom to set up the dominoes with a marble maze. Then we pushed the 49 dominoes in it to create a Koru.
After that we played with my guns and pretended to be police men, but it was a bit boring, so we ended up watching funny videos of Mr. Bean dancing. That was funny but then my baby cousin started to cry because he was scared of Mr. Bean.
Next we had dinner. We had fish and chips with yummy tomato sauce. Finally, we went back to our room and we danced to raining tacos. It is a song about a boy singing about a day that it was raining tacos.
Before long, it was time for my cousins to go home. After they left, we went to the kitchen to have something to drink before we went to bed.
Within 20 minutes, we were all tucked in our beds ready to drift off after the long, fun day.
I really enjoyed the day that my cousins came over. I hope our house would be built soon so that we can have more space to play hide and seek and tag.

Do you want to shift into the new motel with me?
On Saturday my grandma, grandma, dad, sister and I woke up very early because we were shifting into a new motel that day. We didn't shift into our new house because it was taken, so we will look for another one.
After we had breakfast, we were going to hop into my grandpa's van but there were a lot of things in out van so we went in our little car instead.
The motel room was clean and a lot bigger than our previous motel room. There was more space in that motel room which was good because we can use the bigger space to practise our dances.
After three hours, someone invited us to go to there house because there is a birthday for baby Ryan.
We got ready for the birthday party, and then we went to their house. I wore my favourite white genius shirt with a cool looking blue jacket.
My family and I had a lot of fun at the party because they had my favourite barbecue chicken, spring rolls and they gave us present as well.
I received a police set with hand cuffs and two guns. The party finished within two and we went home to have some rest.
I loved the motel that we have shifted into because it is spacious. I hope October comes soon so that our house can be rebuilt.

Have you watched the movies Pixels and Inside out before?
On Sunday my sister and I watched two movies on my grandpa's pc, because my sister wanted to watch Inside out. We went on a movie website called viooz which had a lot of movies.
I clicked Inside out, and we watched it together. It was a very cool movie because there were some people in a girl's heart that were named after the emotions. Their names were Joy, Disgust, Fear, Anger and sadness. Inside the heart they made lots of memories in a round ball called a memory core.
After Inside out, we watched Pixels. It was about pixels from different games that were destroying the Earth. My favourite character was the giant PAC man , but I didn't watch the full movie because we were going to my auntie's house to have dinner.
When we got there we played on the playground that was across the road. My sister and I had fun on the swings because it made us feel as if we could touch the aeroplanes that were passing by.
Then we had to go back to the house because raining. After a couple of hours, my auntie came with my baby cousin that dances. However, he was tired, so he didn't dance for us.
After that we ate dinner, I had Nandos and it tasted very nice because the chicken was juicy. My family ate a different kind of chicken that looked tasty and crunchy. After dinner, we went home so we could prepare our things for school, then we went to bed.
I enjoyed the day at my auntie's house and I hope when my baby cousin comes next time, we would be able to watch him dance.
We are learning to understand and use language features.
