My time at Eastern Beach

When we at Eastern Beach Tim, Quaid and me were playing T’ball.Tim and I were playing tag. Then Mr Johnston said the Eastern Beach but there was a problem. The bus came late, Miss Paton was worried. We saw my aunty and uncle’s houses on the way there and on the way back.
Wow it was a good day I hope I could go back with the school again.
