Rock This Party

This morning, Room 3 and Room 4 did some dancing with Kate. At the start, she said her microphone wasn't working, so we would have to be quiet so she wouldn't have to shout. She showed us the dance moves then we did them with the music on. First, we stood up and clap, clap, clapped, then we did moves that I don't think any of us knew. We got through half of the song then we were finished. It was fun.

Pictures in the Mind

I have been practising using words that give readers pictures in their minds.

A few weeks ago, it was a very beautiful day and that was good because it was my whole school Athletics Day. We did cool sorts of events like high jump, long jump and sprints.

First, I went to high jump. The girls lined up and Jaimee’s mum took our names. I waited nervously behind laekin.

When it was my turn, I closed my eyes to calm down. I took a few breaths then I thought to myself, “I can do this. I can do this.” I ran as fast as a cheetah then I scissor- kicked over the bar, and made it over. All of the others made it over too for the first jump.

As we scissor-kicked over the grey bar, Karla, Jasmine’s mum, lifted it up higher and higher. It got challenging. Some of the girls had to sit down because they didn't make it over. Laekin, Charlotte and I were the only other ones left standing. I ran as fast as I could to the grey bar, I scissor-kicked over it and landed on the blue plastic high jump mat. Laekin didn’t make it and neither did Charlotte. I won. I felt proud of myself.
