Raymond's Story

My Play Date with Daniel and Reuben

Beeb, beeb!” Today l’m having a play date with Daniel and Reuben. I was thrilled and couldn’t wait. l told my dad, “Drive faster!” Soon the cool car was as fast as a space ship! 5 minutes later there was a traffic jam but we eventually made a way out. Finally, we arrived and I said hello to Daniel.

As we were heading up the stairs I asked, “Where’s Reuben?” Daniel pretended he didn’t know. When we got up the stairs Reuben suddenly jumped out of nowhere and shouted, “BOO!”  Then Reuben was bursting with laughter.

Later we made our own bookmarks. We spent a lot of time making them and soon our hands were getting sore. Just when I wanted to make the third one the doorbell rang.

Ding, dong! The doorbell was as loud as a fire truck. Then I said, “Bye, bye,” to Daniel and Reuben.

Reuben's Story

MY HOLIDAY!

RING RING went the phone. Jasmine got it. Jasmine said, "Go get the door, they're here." I was bursting with excitement because Raymond was here.

Raymond said, "Why did you not open the door?" "Because the bell is broken," I said. I ran upstairs and got the ipad. We pressed minecraft. We gave Daniel's ipad to Raymond. I played on mine. We played on survival. It was fantastic. We took turns... then we played object tag - a game where you can't tag living things but carpet and floor separated and you can tag teddy bears and pillows and couches. You can tag the top floors too but if they are touching the thing you tagged you are in.

Then we played minecraft parkour. We made the floor lava and we tried jumping over it without getting touched. We jumped from couch to couch. Then we went to the Pakuranga library because there was a minecraft programme. Raymond came but he didn't bring his ipad. We did. There was some spares so Raymond took one.

We saw one of our other friends and we played multi-player. It wasn't a long time until Daniel's server was five out of five. Me, Raymond and our other friend was playing with Daniel. There was  a surviving area. It is cool but people stopped playing on Daniel's server because Daniel's game kept on crashing.

A lot of people started to play on my server. When I looked around I saw someone with a texture pack and he was playing on mine! Raymond and me were looking, then it said no name joined the game! We went to the jail then the mystery person did too.

When we went to Raymond's house we had a play date with Justin. He brought his ipad and we played on Justin's minecraft. It was escape the prison. He showed us how to do it. We called him the parkour master then he let us play. Raymond tried but he failed on the first jump then I had a turn and I failed on the first jump. Then Daniel had a turn and he failed on the first jump too! Then Jasmine said it is time to go.

Samuel's Story

My Awesome Holidays

“Yay, wahoo,” said my sister. “I am going to beat this tough, spiky angry Ankylosaurus.”

“Samuel! Samuel. Come and help me beat this last Ankylosaurus! It’s nearly dead.”  

“Ok! Ok!”  

Oops, sorry. I haven’t told you what we were playing. You probably know what we were playing. It is, of course, Jurassic World. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” (Looking onto Felicia's iPad). I don’t think we could kill it in 67 hits so I’m sorry. That Ankylosaurus still has 210312 health points even if you are the terrifying tyrannosaurus rex, you only deal 3103 x 50 damage. “Ok! Ok!” “I’m not playinggggggggg!

Let’s ride our bikes to the park. 10 minutes later I sped off on my bike, putting my sister at my heels.

Playing Games

Jurassic world the game

Yes! I upgraded my Argentinosaurus and Limnoscelis to level 40. Now I have 4 level 40’s! Level 40 is the highest level and the hardest one to get to. The 4 level 40’s are Majungasaurus, Triceratops, Limnoscelis and Argentinosaurus.

I also have some new dinos. The new dinos are, nausutops, incredible T.rex, Ankylosaurus, Allosaurus and Gigantosaurus. My T.rex is on L.30 so is Tropeognathus, Alanqa, Ankylosaurus and utahraptor.

If I can make Alaqa into level 40 I will be able to fuse majungasaurus and Alanqa to make Legendary Alangasaurus! I also fed my Kronosaurus to level 40, now I have 5 Kronosaurus on level 40! I have my Allosaurus on level 20 my Cartaurs, Diplodocus, Tuojiangosaurus and Guanlong. I can’t believe I have legendary t.rex, on level 30!
