Recount

W.A.L.T...

We are learning to:

recount an exciting event so that our reader knows what happened and how we felt.

The New Edition to the Whanau.

It was a normal school afternoon when someone came up the drive……

A car stopped to a sudden halt. This mysterious car was none like I had ever seen before it wasn’t nana’s or Uncle’s or Aunts but it was someone from the Orchard, a man in this case and he brought something with him in the trailer.

We all went to the back door gate and a man standing in black and navy blue overalls and beside him was a furry black, brown huntaway cross. The dogs name was Sam, but we all wanted to rename him “boy” yes that was our old dogs name.

When the man left we shut the gate and waved goodbye. Sam was standing there and we all cheered and played with him  all day, while dad did his work he was peaking outside the window watching us while he finished up so he could make dinner.

My face went red and so did my brother and sisters as we thought of the things we can now do with our new dog. When we patted him he pushed us to the side and tries to talk to us.

Thinking of the marvelous things that we can do makes it a happier life.
