Have you been to a Matariki festival before? By Rhonda

On the weekends my dad, brother, sisters and I went to the Matariki festival at Glen Innes reserve. We walked there because it was near our house.

When we got there, we saw a lot of lights. There were a lot of lights there were dolphins, fisherman and more. Then we went For a walk. While we were walking, we saw more and more lights they had different coloured lights. There were blue, green, red, purple, yellow, grey and pink. 

Next we went past a shop that was selling glow lights. My sister asked if she could buy one of the glow lights and my dad said ''Yes''! It only cost $3.00 dollars. After she brought it we went home because my little sister was getting very tired. I had a fun and a great time going to the Matariki festival.

Next time I hope we go on a different day because there were so many people there which made it really crowded.

We are learning to follow the structure of a recount.
I know I can do this when I use write the introduction, followed by the events and then the conclusion.
