On my holiday l didn't do much but talk to friends and game playing fortnite, genshin impact, minecraft and spellbreak l had a good time gaming l didn't go out to a lot of places we went to the beach then it started raining so me and my family ran back to the car..

On Saturday l went to my sisters house to sleepover it was real fun we watched movies and had a lot of lollies and a bunch of other stuff her partner ( Guy ) has a big gaming setup and we played fortnite together and my cousin also joined so that doubled the fun.

Then comes the next day l ended up going to my cousins place we had the best time ever me and him walked down to the warehouse to buy HEAPS of lollies on Sunday was Halloween so we just chilled and had all the lollies he also had fireworks but mini ones so we jumped his fences because it's a big field so we did whatever we wanted there was also a tire swing but my little cousin cut the brunch off then after putting the tire back up we jumped into the river which was right next to it that was also fun then we got out dried ourselves then went back inside we started gaming a bit more then it came to 12am we jumped back over the fence then lit all the fireworks on fire it was so cool then our neighbour woke up we started to panic and chucked the fireworks in the river then went up against the fence that lady was pretty scary then she went away and we jumped back over we all just sat on the bed in silence then my little cousin bought in the nerf guns and we started having a nerf gun fight my cousin ended up falling off a chair while we were playing so then we stopped then we went to sleep...

The next morning for breakfast and lunch we had ice-cream and lollies the end :)) 

Why fireworks shouldn't be banned

 Do You Enjoy Fireworks?

If you don’t read this.


We are sharing our opinions that fireworks should not be banned.



Firstly, I think fireworks should not be banned because they are awesome and fun, entertaining, and if it hurts your ears, you can put earmuffs on, and if it hurts your eyes then put sunglasses on so it will be fine to do the fireworks, people who think it should banned is wrong because if you think it will make your animals shocked and hurt their ears or death you can just cover your pets ears, and put a blanket over them so they don't really hear it and put them inside your house. So they will be safe because animals are cute and you don't want your pets to die or get hurt.

   

Secondly If you do fireworks at night and there are neighbours near you but they are awake it would be fine to do, because they  won't be annoyed because they won't be asleep but if there asleep it doesn't really matter because if your doing fireworks on new years eve then its fine because it's new YEARS!


Thirdly If you do not like fireworks you need to like it because it is really fun and you can hold sticks and put sparks on it and swing it around and you can make letters and words It is fun to use them, they should not be banned because  there really cool, you should agree because they are cool, they should not BE BANNED!!


 






We would like fireworks to NOT be Banned!!

Save the date for spectacular fireworks display : Newsline
