>It was almost my papa’s birthday somthing happened to him my dad was super worried about him. My dad always cared about his dad because he was getting a lot older now. When my dad heard about it my dad stargate away went to the hospital.
When he got there he called our mum and we saw him lying on the bed when my dad got home me and my little brothers were outside so I didn’t know much about it. When my papa was finally out of the hospital the next day was his birthday so we celebrated it. My older brother's friend came and it was really fun and very special to me and my family.
I have a big family so we had to go into cars. I went with my mum and dad and the others went with my older brother. They had to stop and get pizza. We made it there before them when they finally got there they put the pizza on the table inside.
Then we went to play outside. There was nothing to do really so when we finished playing we went inside and watched netflix. We watched a lot of things like horrors and comedy like dumb and dumber and more. After that we all went outside to wait for my papa to come outside while we were waiting .
He came outside and we finally got to eat cake and pizza. When we finished eating we went inside and watched some more tv my older cousins were outside playing. We stayed until 12 am and my brother came to wake us up to go home.
When we got home we had a family meeting about my papa getting old and stuff. I was happy and sad at the same time as we all went to bed. It’s always important to spend time with your family because you don't know who will die.

Plan
Start below
> It was a long time ago. It was like a Tuesday morning when me and my friends just arrived at class. We went to sit down and we were going to do some reading. After reading we did some writing .
We were writing a narrative. Me and my friends started talking and we got in trouble when me and my friends finished. We went and showed our teacher it was a really long line it felt like years .
Until it was finally my turn she said next I moved up and showed her she was surprised about how much writing I've done because we were talking. Then she gave me a green tick and a sticker then she said next then I said ‘’Thanks mum’’.
Then I realised what I’ve said but thankfully she didn't hear it because of the noise. Hope it doesn't happen to you.
