Paragraph one: Tāupo

 On the holidays my dad, two other brothers and I went to two places on the holidays. The first place we went to was Tāupo. We went to these two places to go to rugby league. One was for womens and the other was for mens, We also went there to spend time with each other and to go to different places while we were there. One of my dads friends came along with two of his daughters and we were hanging out with them as well. On the first day we got there we had to go to our resort we had to stay at while the tournament was on.The tournament was hosted by New Zealand Rugby League which my dad works at so that’s why we went to the tournament but we didn’t just  go there for the tournament we went to do things around the area as well. After we got to the resort we went to our rooms and we set up for tomorrow. The next day we woke up really early so we could get to the tournament and help set up, once we got there we helped set up and we went inside because they had brought some breakfast for the NZRL people and for helpers. When the tournament started we went to watch a game until we had to help, the job we did was when an agent comes we have to sign them in but really no one came the whole entire time. After the day finished we packed down and we went back to our resort. Once we got back I  went for a swim before we went out for dinner. When it was time to get ready I had a shower and then I got changed. When I got in the car I waited for my brothers for about 5 minutes until they came then we left to go to get dinner. What we got for dinner was burger king, the meal i got was a bbq burger but we had to wait until we got back to the resort because it was a bit late to eat inside of Burger King so we went back to the car after getting our food and we had to get a few things from paknsave  and then we went back to the resort me and my dad went into our room and then my two other brothers went to their room. After we got to our room I set up my food and then I prayed and started eating. After I ate I had a shower and then I fell asleep. The next day we went back to the fields and waited for the games to start. Once it started we had to help with the agents again but after a bit we could go and watch a game because my dad would swap with us. 

 

Paragraph Two: Rotorua

 

After it finished it was about wednesday so we went back to the resort and we packed to go to rotorua, after we finished packing we went to our car and put all of our stuff in the car.Then we got into the car and left the resort the car ride was about an hour from Tāupo so it wasn’t that long when we were about 30 minutes in the drive we stopped at a bakery and we got something to eat, once we finished paying we got back to the car and we kept going on our road trip the last 30 minutes of our drive I fell asleep for the rest of the way. Once we got there we stopped at the warehouse to get my dad a few things then we went to find our hotel when we found it we parked up and my dad went inside to see if our rooms were ready. When he got back  his room was ready but me and my brother’s room wasn’t finished yet so we helped our dad get his stuff into his room and then we waited in his room for about 15 minutes and then we went to look around the hotel until our rooms were done. Once the room was done we got our bags from the car and we took it to our room, once we finished unpacking we waited for my dads friends and his daughter my other brother was also with them once they got here we waited for them to unpack and then we all went for a walk into town to play basketball and get a ice cream. After 30 minutes of playing basketball it started thundering so we had to go back to our hotel, on our way back we got ice cream. Then we walked all the way back to our hotel while it was storming and once we made it back we quickly ran inside and we went to our rooms, after we got to our rooms I had a shower and got ready for dinner after I finished my shower i got called and got told to go to the car when I got there we left and we went to a korean chicken place for dinner. After we ate we went back to our hotel and then I fell asleep in my bed. I woke up the next morning and we had to go to the men’s division while we were there we watched some games and played cards, when the second day was finished because the first day already passed we

went back to the hotel and me and my brothers went to the pool with my dads friend daughter and after 3 hours of swimming we went back to our rooms and we had a shower and got ready to go out because we were going out to redwoods so we gotta easy dinner like mc donalds and then we got a ice cream afterwards then we went to redwoods and the tree walk was about an hour and 30 minutes once we finished we went back to our hotel and then i went to sleep. The next day we didn’t go to the tournament because it was last day and we needed to get back before the traffic hit so we left the hotel and we started making our way home with my dads friend, once we got half way we stopped to get lunch and that was the last stop of the trip.

  1. Nice holiday blog post Xavier. You did really well adding details which helped me incision it in my mind. Something you could work on next time is adding more categories for you paragraphs so that it’s not over too whelming. Also next time maybe you can try combining to sentences with a conjunction to make it flow smoothly. Overall a great piece of writing Xavier. Ka pai!

  2. Hey Xavier, Nice Blog I Like how you spoke about your Holiday and Was able to Organised it into Paragraphs, However I think you could Using harder Words And Focus On punctuation.

  5. Well done Xavier, I really like how you used different punctuation so that the reader has a better time reading, and I like the way you neatly described everything. I recommend double checking your story because I can spot some errors like a lower case i etc. Other than that, well done! 👍

  6. Nice writing Xavier you added a lot of detail which was good and you also were very descriptive.
    Something you could work on is your punctuation!
