For literacy we have been writing about our holidays. What I found challenging was writing it. What I enjoyed was putting it on my blog.

Going to the movie theatre to watch Hotel Transylvania 3

Who.? Mum Dad sister and my little brother.

What? Popcorn fairy and lolly.

When? I went Sunday.

Where? Hoyts Riccarton movie theatre.

Why? To have fun.

I went to the hoyts riccarton movie theatre on Sunday with my family. What I had for food was popcorn and lollies. I went to have fun with my family.

On a sunny day I went to the movie theatre to watch hotel transylvania 3.

As soon as we got there we brought our tickets and we went to our seats.

I was excited for the movie to start. We got out our movie snacks.

After a while of waiting the movie suddenly started.

When the movie was finished my favourite thing about it was the giant octopus.

When the movie was finished I hopped in my dad's car and all of us drove home.

I had a great time at the movie theatre because the movie was so funny. I tried to not laugh at the movie.
