Recount: Joy
Recount a time when you felt JOY.
Planning:
Intro – who, what, when, where, why
What: Me and my family went to whitianga (Down south)
Who: Me, Suilano and our family.
When: In the school holidays. In November, 2024.
Where: at whitianga which was down south.
Why: For a trip!
Beginning – how does it start?
First me and my brother Josh packed our stuff and waited for my cousin’s mum. After she came, my other aunty was behind my cousin’s mum with my godparents. So I went with Sana (my aunty). As I hopped in, I felt Joy in me! A few minutes later, we stopped at Mcdonalds. When I hopped out of the car, I saw my uncle! I gasped and went in. As I went in, I saw his girlfriend with his son and cousin lily. “Hi Sarah and Kane.” I said.
Middle – what is happening?
After we had a feed at Mcdonalds, we all went and followed my cousin’s mother’s car. As we took off, we were on the motorway. It took like 3 hours or 4 to be there. After we got into town, we stopped and filled up the cars. As we all finished filling up we drove to whitianga. When we got to whitianga, we went to a cafe. After eating, we walked to a shop and got strawberry ice cream. Then we saw our new house that we are sleeping in.
End – how does it end?
After three days in whitianga, we all went back to our real houses!

→On a windy wet Thursday, I woke up and remembered I was going on a trip with my brother. So I knocked on my brother’s door and went in. “WAKE UP !!” I yelled. He woke up and looked everywhere. “Come on, get ready, it’s six.” I said. “What?” he replied. “What do you mean? It’s…. Trip time!!” I said with excitement.
He told me to get out so that he can change. So I went out of his room and woke up my mother instead. She got up and got my stuff from upstairs, in my room. After a few minutes, my brother came out carrying his stuff.
So I decided to help him carry it. Then mum got a text from my cousin’s mother saying they will come at seven. So me and my brother rushed and waited for them. I felt very sad for my mum.
I felt sad because she couldn’t come. She had work. Then after it was seven, we heard a truck beep. We all knew it was my aunty (Una). So we went outside with our stuff and said goodbye to our mum.
Then after we put our stuff in the trunk, I heard a voice say “Mary.” My nickname. I turned around and saw my other aunty at the back. “Hi Sana!” I replied. “Come, you are with us.” She said,
After I kissed and said goodbye to mum, I went inside my aunty’s car and got excited. When I got in, I saw my godparents. My godmother was at the front with my aunty while my godfather was at the back with me!
Then we stopped at mcdonalds. I look through the window with joy and excitement. As I opened the door, I saw my uncle’s girlfriend’s car. So I went inside with Suliano and saw my uncle’s girlfriend’s son (Kane).
Sarah and Pou (my uncle and uncle’s girlfriend’s name) looked at me and Suliano. They were super happy to see me and Suliano. Even Kane! After we had a feed, we all went back to our cars, and drove off.
When all of us got to the motorway, I started falling asleep. Then my godmother woke me up. I looked out of the window and noticed that we were at a beach. “We’re here !!” Said Sana with excitement.
As I got out we walked across the road and went to the cafe shop. When we waited for the others, we decided to order our food now. Then after everyone was there, they ordered their food too.
After we all ate food, we decided to go eat some ice cream and then see our house that we will be sleeping in. “Adam and Josh, go see if there’s an ice cream shop somewhere.” My godmother said.
So Adam and Josh walked across the road and found an ice cream shop nearby. SoWe decided to walk there. Then the two little kids (Lily and Kane) were too far away from us.
So Suliano and I decided to run with them and keep them safe. Then we had to walk across the road. So we did. And ordered some ice cream. After that everyone got to their cars and went to the new house.
After a few minutes we got there. “Wow…” I said. I looked upstairs and everywhere. It was so big! Even a game room. So everyone got ready for the beach.
After the beach we all came home and went inside the gaming room. And played darts, Jenga, ping pong and 8 ball pool. After three days we all went home!
