Do you want to play dodgeball? By Joshua

It's 12 noon and after 30 minutes of driving, we finally arrived at the new indoor trampoline park. Inside the trampoline park was a vast foam pit for people to do flips on, a large basketball hoop waiting to be dunked a professional Olympic trampoline and an area filled with lots trampoline for you to do flips too! However, all alone in the corner of the indoor trampoline park, was a colossal dodge ball arena.

When the barrier swung open and the rules were already given, I sprinted as fast as lightning, just to get the basketball. Immediately started jumping higher and higher on the trampolines. Until I jumped high like an eagle soaring through the sky, I rocketed the basketball down the hoop. Swish!

Next,I did a forward flip, or as I call it, the ''Swanton bomb''. Swanton bomb is a high risk (dangerous) move that can easily injure your back. A Swanton bomb is when the person is slowly flipping himself forward and landing on your back. It is also a wrestling move performed by ''Jeff Hardy"(World Wrestling Entertainment).

After half an hour of jumping and vaulting over platform, I went to go play dodge ball with my cousin. We first started with a game of four against four, it was fantastic! When the game began, balls were immediately thrown at me. Luckily I dodged them before..... Bang! For a second, all I saw was darkness, until I had realised I had been hit in the face by a dodge ball.

Today I had a fun day because I got the chance to eventually play and do flips with my cousins. At the end of the day, I was rewarded with the new blueberry frozen Fanta. It was so delicious! Next time, I hope I stayed longer so I could show my cousins more cool flips.

Spending time with my family! By Joshua

I have had a blast in the last two weeks.My favourite time during the holidays, was when my elder brother and I got to hang out with our cousins. We ate a lot of food and played PlayStation 3, this was our typical late night.


I awoke to footsteps echoing in the hallway as if it was telling me to get up! I stretched my back and tried to wake my elder brother Christian up, but his only response was Z and Z! After a minute  my elder brother and I were having weetbix.

In the afternoon, my family and I played basketball. It was an intense game, the teams were my dad and I versing against my mum and my elder brother. the final score was 6-4 to my team so we only won by two points

Later on at 6 o'clock, my mum and dad dropped us off at Forbes to our grandpa's house, for a sleepover. At Forbes, I saw my cousins Dimitri and Bridget Anne.

When it was 7 o'clock we had Burger King and it was delicious because of the sauces they used for my burger. Soon after, I found myself playing Play Station 3 with my cousins and elder brother. I had a fantastic day because I got to play with my family, cousins and also ate some lollies.
