Recount Writing On Saturday afternoon

WALT use the correct structure and language for Recount Writing.

On Saturday afternoon
On Saturday afternoon me and my family went to watch Rugby and netball in Kerikeri.
First, me and my little brother went for a walk around the
Field. We were watching my brother play rugby.
I said, “Go, go Traeh! You can do it. I know you can.” Next we went to the tuck shop. My mum got a yummy, delicious chocolate milkshake for me. My tasty drink was amazing.
After that we got some chips. The chips were really salty so
I was really happy.
When my Mum was finished on the court we were playing hoops together. My mum was beating me.
So she went easy on me.
Finally I got the ball in the hoop.
After that we went home and I was as happy as a clown.
