Rainbow's End 

                            

On Monday 17th of February my family and I went to Rainbows End. When we first got there we all went on the log ride me and Will went on the same log.Then after the log ride we went on the Invader. On the Invader we saw Jack and Braith. Then Braith and I went on log ride again. After that we went on the Power Surge. Mum did a flip on the Power Surge. She was screaming! 

Then Braith's Dad, Braith and I went on the Corkscrew Roller Coaster I was feeling nervous we went upside down we went around the loop the loop.We went on the log ride again and again but then we went on the Bumper boats. Braith and I bumped into each other I didn't know how to ride it.Then Braith and I went on the bumper cars. 

Braith went home and Will, Jonte and I went on the Gold Rush. We went on it two times. We went on the Scorpion carts with Dad and I came 5th. We went over to Westfield Mall and had some lunch and drove back to New Plymouth.

Little bro

Little Bro by Manning Skipper                                    

I read a story about a boy who was trying to fix his tyre and his little brother Billy was being annoying and ran way with his patches. He got angry with him and locked him out of the house. Billy was making silly faces at him through the window and he got really angry and lunged at his little brother through the window and broke the window.

He told Billy that he would give him two iceblocks and let him in if he didn't tell Mum and Dad. They put a bike by the window so it looked like the wind blew the bike over into the window. Mum and Dad believed the story and he helped his Dad fix the window.
