Gerald's Point Of View

It was evening I arrived at the Jungle Dance. I walked on stage. All the animals snarled at me and said "clumsy Gerald you can't dance". HA HA my head SPUN like a spinning top I FROZE like I got locked in a freezer. The other animals started doing the limbo and I just crept away home. But then I found a little clearing I looked up to the sky then a little cricket popped his head out of the grass and asked " why so sad?, Why aren't you at the jungle dance?"
"Little Cricket, the other animals say I can't dance, and that is true."
"All you need is a different tune."
So the cricket started chirping and Gerald suddenly felt that he was dancing.
"I am dancing," he cried. All the animals heard him so they ran to see. So all the animals shouted "Show us how you dance like that, please Gerald Show us how!" When Gerald finished dancing he looked up to the moon. "We can all dance. We just need to find a tune that we will can boogie to."

The great lion and Gerald

I am so excited, tonight is the jungle dance "where every animal turns up to skip and prance".
That evening when I got there the music was so cool that I could not help dancing. Right now the baboons are doing the Scottish reel, no it's actually finished. I wonder who's turn it is now? It's my turn, oh my gosh, that was soooo.....NO!!!!!!!!!!! GERALD'S JUST TURNED UP. BUT, the music went down, "POO TO YOU GERALD"I roared, the other animals shouted, roared and giggled.
You should have seen his face. It had turned bright red.
The silly thing just stumbled off home.
The other animals had just started doing the limbo, but, I didn`t join in. I started feeling sorry for Gerald, so I went home too. I Wonder what he will do next year, mayby just mayby he will be really good.

Keegan's Individual Triathlon

I woke up and remembered it was the Individual Triathlon. I went to school and got ready. We had

age groups and I was in the second group. I dived into the pool and I swam to the other side of the pool. I got out of the pool and ran to my cool bike. I put my awesome helmet on. I sped through the course then I got off my bike and zoomed through the running track.

When I past the finish line I felt proud of myself.

The fendalton school swimming spots

On Tuesday the terrific Fendalton school swimming sports were on. I competed in freestyle lengths and breathstroke lengths. I waited and waited for my swim, the pool was cold. My first swim was next. I jumped in the pool, it was a close race. I came fifth I had to wait about an hour until my breathstroke. I came fifth again I was so proud of..... myself and that was the first time I did it.

Annabel's Recount

On Tuesday there was the Fendalton School swimming sports and it was held at the Fendalton School pool. The first event was the Girls 6-7 year old freestyle. After the 6-7 year old girls had done that it was the 7-8 Girls and then 9-10. Then it was the 7-8 girls championship freestyle.
That was my first event of the day. I was feeling nervous. I put my goggles on then Mr Procter said "On your marks" then banged the banger together and I dived in and started swimming.
But then I realised that my goggles had come off but I still swam the rest of the way and I ended up getting 3rd place. So I got out of the water and I got a stick from Mrs Greg and went and told Mr Sibson what my name was and my house colour then I gave my stick back to Mrs Greg. Next I went back to get my towel and get warm. After a wile it was the 7–8 year old girls championship backstroke. I was not that nervous. Then I got in the water all ready to start then I heard the banger bang. I pushed off the wall and started swimming my fastest backstroke. (It felt like I was zooming through the water).When I saw the flags at the other end I did a few more strokes and reached out for the wall. When I had touched the wall I turned around and got my stick then I realised I had got 1st equal with Stella. So I went to Mr Sibson. Then when I got back to get my towel and put it around me to keep warm. Then I went for the breastroke. Before I knew it it was my turn. I heard the banger, bang and I dived in and started doing breathstroke, and I could see the end of the pool. I touched the end of the pool and I realised that I had got second. I got my stick and went to see Mr Sibson, then I got ready for the house relay. It was an eight person relay. Bayely and I were in the Green team. I was the second to last to swim in the team. When the sixth person touched the wall I dived in and started swimming. When I got to the other end I reached out for the wall and touched the wall so the last swimmer could start to swim. In the end the Green team won. The Red team came second and the Blue team came third. After the relay I went down to the other end of the pool for the presentations. When Mr Norton called my name out I went up to the podium and stood on the first place spot. I got my cup and that was the end of the exciting and fun day. After I had got my cup, I went to get my towel and jersey. After that I went home with mum and had afternoon tea and got ready for gym.
