Think of an example where you made some new connections in your brain. What were you doing?
What can you do this week to make some new connections? Set one specific goal.

My 2016 Holiday - Recount
My 2016 Holiday
Hi, my name is Locky, and
I’m writing about my most recent holiday. I went with my Mum, Dad and my
brother, Angus. We went fishing, snorkelling and much more!
My first destination was Coral
Bay, and it was very windy there. We stayed at a family cabin for the first few
nights, and then we stayed at a chalet, which was much nicer than the other
one. We had Christmas there,
which was very exciting. I got some clothes, a few books, some money, a board
game, some fishing stuff, from Santa I got a cricket Australia cap and ball,
and from Mum and Dad I got some lefty cricket gloves. We went snorkelling, and
we saw some really tiny fish that looked like Coral Trout, that are delicious
to eat.
Our next destination was Exmouth,
where we caught lots of fish. We stayed at the Lighthouse Caravan Park, and we
saw the Vincents' there. We went fishing almost every day, and on our second day
we caught two MASSIVE tuna just off Bundegi boat ramp, about 80cm long! I
caught a Coral Trout, but it was too small so we had to give it the old kiss n’ drop.
Thankfully we didn’t catch any cod because they spew dead eels into your boat.
We rode in our doughnut, which we tied to the back of the boat, and skipper Dad
went really fast!
Our final destination was Perth;
this is where we were involved in a swimming competition. We raced in the
rookie meet and the Country Championships. We went to Bounce, which was very
exciting. We also went to Escape in the city, where there were giant inflatable
water-slides. It was the best thing ever!
So, rounding up I went to Coral
Bay, Exmouth and Perth, and I’ve had some great experiences along the way. I’ve
played, fished and raced my way through the holidays. They went way too quick,
don’t you think?

CamNam Holiday Recount
CamNam (Cambodia and Vietnam Holiday)
Cambodia was
a very interesting place but the best part was Vietnam. When we went to
Cambodia, it was the first time I rode on a tuk tuk which is a motorbike with a carriage connected
to the back. It also has an extra engine cooling system because it is carrying
so much.
In Cambodia
we also went to some temples. Those temples were the same ones from the movie
Tomb Raider. We were also allowed to climb on some of the temples.
In Vietnam
we went to Vinpearl theme park and it was on an island. It also looked like
Jurassic World. We took a cable car there. I went on almost every ride but two
were closed by the time I wanted to go on them. My favourite ride was the
Skydrop, it was a ride that goes up then drops at high speed!
After That
we went on a New Years cruise and we went kayaking. After all that I went to
see my aunty and cousins in Victoria. My cousins are twins and they are four years old. After
that I went home to do normal stuff in Tom Price.
