On the 11th October  Inveravon Primary school held a school sleepover to raise money for school funds. Below is two recounts about it. 

 

 

 

School Sleepover        

It was the date of the school sleepover. For weeks I had been waiting for this to happen, and now, finally, the day had arrived. Quickly, I put my uniform on and scoffed my breakfast up like a hungry monkey. I couldn’t wait!!    

At school, the day flew by just as I hoped it would, and before I knew it the bell ran for home time. When I arrived at home, I jumped around impatiently, waiting for the hands on the clock to reach eight-o-clock. Finally, it reached eight-o-clock. I franticly packed my sleeping bag, pillow and my teddy, Barney, as I can’t sleep without him! It was going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Excitedly, I leaped across the playground and burst into the doors. There, Mrs Smith welcomed Rowan and I into the school. We dumped our baggage and ran into the classroom. First on the agenda, Golden Time! We were supposed to have half an hour of Golden Time. That was at eight-o- clock. It was quarter-to-nine when Golden Time finished.                                                                                                                         

Next were games in the hall. My favourite game was musical statues. I like doing the funny dance moves and then stopping, like time had stopped. One of my other favourite games was musical bumps but the disadvantage in that game is that in the end your bottom is very  sore!      

Walking, torches and stars are what describe the next paragraph. Can you guess what it is? It was a midnight walk. If you guessed right, you must be able to read minds. If you didn’t, well never mind. We were walking to a field were we sometimes play Rounders. When we got there we turned our torches off and looked up. It was beautiful. The stars were twinkling above us and, boy, there was lots of “Ohhs” and “Ahhs”. I think I will treasure that moment for life.

 Back at school we read The Dinosaur Pooped Christmas. It was very funny! I didn’t notice that while we were reading, the teachers were preparing some food for us. I had some pizza, crisps and cocktail sausages. Yum, Yum! 

 Then we put our PJ’s on and put the crash-mats into the active-playroom to sleep on. We watched Rise of The Guardians for a few hours and when it finished we tried to get to sleep. I think I got to sleep at about one-o-clock in the morning, thanks to OLIVIA!!      

When we all woke up we put away our sleeping things and had breakfast. Then we got changed into our normal clothes and went home. I was very tired!!

 The School Sleepover

“Mum, Mum” I shouted as I came home from school and ran into the house and gave my mum the note saying that we were going to have a sleepover, not just any sleepover one at school with all my friends and the teachers. I was so excited to go to school and have a sleepover with everyone that goes to school with me. Usually I only have a few friends over for a sleep over but this time with fourteen people and the teachers.

Finally the 11^th of October came round and that day of school seemed to go by very slowly because I was so excited. I was watching the clock hoping the bell would ring so I could go home and start packing for the night ahead of me. The bell rang eventually. Mrs Smith gave everyone a list for what to take to the school sleepover. I tidied up my mess and shot out of the room and got on my shoes and rushed to the door.

On the bus we all couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the school sleepover was going to be. We all told everyone what onesies we were going to take and described what they looked like and how fluffy they were. When everyone was off the bus I was the only one left I was so excited I couldn’t keep still for one single minute. When Colin got to my house I said “bye” and ran into the door just like I did on the day when I told mum about the sleep over.

I started to pack, I got the list I was given at school and was ticking of the things I had in my bag, onesie, my teddy, torch, sleeping bag, book and pillow. I had everything to go to the sleep over. I had my supper and I grabbed everything I needed to go. And mum said “time to go Ali” I grabbed my bag and said bye to my dad and my sister and walked out the door and got into the jeep. I had never been so excited to go to school before in my whole entire life! Me and my Mum went to pick up Sinead and she was waiting at the road already so she must have been as excited as I was.

We got to school, the school seemed very different at night because I am usually there in the daylight. We only had the lampposts for light but not forgetting the bright moon and the twinkling stars.

I walked into the school and saw all my friends having fun and the teachers talking to the parents coming in. I put my bag down and went to the classroom and started to play with the knex that was all ready out and I made a family of different sizes with different connecters and rods. Mrs Smith came into the room and said “let’s go do some dancing in the hall.” We tidied up our mess and went into the hall to do some dancing.

First, we played musical statues and musical bumps it was funny with musical bumps because everyone landed really hard and they kept on saying “owwwww” and we all laughed and had fun. We did a dance called the Macarena and we managed to stay on time with the music as we never do.

Next, we went on a midnight walk it was quite cold and dark but we had torches with us so it wasn’t really dark. We had to be quite because we might disturb the wildlife and we had to listen to all the things around us. When we got down to the field we had to look up and see the stars. The sky was really clear so we could see millions and trillions of them witch was really cool.

Then, we walked back to the school and we got our jackets off and I got my cosy slippers on and we all went to the hall and had a midnight feast with, biscuits, sausages, crisps and juice. It was all very yummy and we finished our midnight feast.

After, we went to the active play room and I helped everyone get their sleeping bags out because they were all in very tight bags. A movie came on but I only got to see a little bit because my mum came to get me to go home. It was a very good sleepover and I had a good time with all my friends at night. Although that was my second school sleepover I think I enjoyed it the most.
