After lunch, was the ball race. First, the house captain put us into groups, then the race started. Piper jumped into the pool and ran as fast as a tiger. She got to the other side. She passed the ball to Cody then Cody ran and passed the ball to Antony. Antony ran through the water like a cheetah and he passed it to me. It was like the water was saying to me, "Hop in, hop in.:
I hopped in and I felt like I was trapped in a freezer. I held onto the ball and kicked as fast as I could. My tummy had more butterflies than ever. My heart was pounding because I didn't want to let my team down. I finally got to the end and I passed it to River.
After the last relay, my brother was on the diving board because he was in the adult race. I could see that he was nervous because he stood behind everyone and he was shaking, then the whistle blew, “Oooooooo.” My brother was off. I was cheering as loudly as I could. My heart was pumping very fast. Molly told me that my brother looked liked a giant and I giggled and giggled and giggled.
After a while, I realised that she was right, then Morgan tagged Guy, then Guy tagged the wall and the adults finally won. In all those years, they won only one, because my brother was on their team.
Well done, Madeline. You are giving your readers some lovely pictures in their minds - as fast as a tiger, and like a cheetah.
