My Birthday

Hi people of world! It's a long time since I've written to you, but now here I am. It's D.C.D., Damiano.
Recently it was my birthday and I become 11 years old. We had the party on Wednesday 28th of September. My real birthday was on 29th of September.
When we had the party there were many people. We got presents, but the best part of it was playing with my friends, playing in the pool and outside on the swing and the cakes!
My friends were Ben, Sean, Shara, Kay Emily and Dorothy.
We played games in the pool sach as "Marco Polo", "Octopus", "Buldog" and sometimes splash-fightd or tricks in the pool.

If you don't know how they work then I'm going to tell you:

OCTOPUS works like this: one person is in the middle of the pool, the others are outside the pool. The person in the middle says "ocotpus",the kids outside have to swim across to the other side of the pool without the person in the middle catching them. If the person in the middle does catch them, then they stay rooted to the spot and try to catch the others. The game goes on until there is only one kid left outside.

I think you know MARCO POLO: everybody are in the pool, one person has to close his eys and say "marco", the person next to him have to say "polo". The person with the eyes closed has to
chase them, the kids saying "polo"have to run awayfrom him. The person with the eyes closed has two frogy eyes. Frogy eyes are when you can go under water and see for until you have to go up for air.

BULLDOG is the same as "octopus" only the person in the middle has to say "bulldog" then the kids outside can swim across the pool. the second rule of "bulldog" is that when someone is coughthe can move and doesn't need to stay rooted to the spot but still needs to catch people.

After all this fun, came the presents and the sweets. For my birthday I received: a computer game, 4 books, a torch light, 2 cards and a t-shirt.
On my real birthday we invited our friends over for dinner and we received new presents.
I had loads of fun on my birthday!
