Today, I went to a birthday party. A couple of weeks ago, I got an invitation from Jack, a classmate of mine. The invitation said the party would be from noon to 1 pm at the Colchester Academy Sports Hall. It said it would be a football party.
So I took the bus to the Colchester Academy Sports Hall. There I met the other people who were invited to the party. There were about thirty or thirty five! We were outside. We played games - one was to kick as many balls as possible into your goal at one time. There were a lot of balls to play with.
After that, we split into four teams, two for the younger kids who were from about five to seven, and two teams for the older kids. Most kids were from my school, and the other were Jack's siblings and cousins, I think. Then the two sets of teams each played a match. A man from the Sports Center ran the matches. The kids had a good time playing, but the adults who had stayed to watch were cold. When those matches were done, the group split into four equal teams, combining all ages, and played a tournament.
After that, we went back into the main lobby, sang Happy Birthday to Jack, and had birthday cake. The cake was fruit-flavored. Each of us got a packed lunch to take home. My lunch had a sandwich, crisps, a carton of squash, and a party favor.
The biggest difference between this party and the ones I've gone to back home are the amount of people. I got Jack some small gifts, but he didn't open any of his gifts at the party.
It was fun. I am glad I was invited.
