Splash Planet
Splash Planet
Last week, I went to Splash Planet with my family and two of my friends. It was a very frosty morning so we first had a spa to warm up. When the weather warmed up outside, me and my friends went and lined up for the racing cars. The queue was super long and we waited for about half an hour for our turn. Once we got on and had our turn it was a lot of fun. I liked how the cars sped around the corners. It makes me want to drive a car for real.
Bike Ride
Bike Ride
On Monday, the first week of the holidays, I went for a huge bike ride from my place to Havelock North. I had to take my little brother so he kept slowing us down. We had to stop for rests along the way but it still didn't seem to take too long to reach our destination. We rode to the BMX track next to Guthrie Park. After we spent a while riding around the track we thought we had better head back home. I really enjoyed riding up and down the hills and ramps but what I was most proud of that day was my little brother who did so well riding all of that way.
Wood Cutting
Wood Cutting
On the weekend, me and dad went to cut fire wood. We drove to my aunties house in Te Aute. When we got there, I helped bring the branches over so that they could be cut up into smaller bits. My uncle cut the bigger bits into rings and then dad used the wood splitter to split the wood. The wood splitter was able to cut through the knots in the wood. It was a lot of hard work but now we will be able to stay warm because we can have a fire at home.

Other examples of verbs include: sing, watch, play, sleep, study, walk, and think
Adjectives
Adjectives
Adjectives are describing words. They are used to describe nouns.
An example of an adjective would be “beautiful”. Beautiful is a word to describe someone or something. For example, the sky is beautiful. Since the sky is a noun, and beautiful is used to describe it, that makes beautiful an adjective.
Other examples of adjectives are: blue, dark, warm, happy, good, and fast.
Adverbs
Adverbs
Adverbs are words that describe verbs.
For example, quickly is an adverb because if you say you walk quickly, walk is the verb, and quickly is describing how you walk. Therefore, quickly is an adverb. An easy way to spot an adverb is by their ending, since they often end in the letters ly, like quickly.
Other examples of adverbs include: nicely, proudly, slowly, and firmly.
