The Exciting Swimming Sports

On the 17th of February it was the Fendalton school swimming sports. All day I was looking forward to this. It felt so weird. I felt so nervous. I got dressed feeling very weird indeed. When we sat down in our groups I sat beside Keegan and Nick. When it was my turn I tried to get at the end of the heat. My turn came I got ready to dive then I dived in. The pool was so freezing so I got to the end of the pool as fast as I could, urgent to get out of the freezing cold water. I realized that I had won my heat!! So I sat waiting for the final. Then the time came I got up ready to go then I dived in in. When I got to the end of the freezing cold pool I thought that I came third or fourth, so I went to sit down. Then it was backstroke. I was filled with hope. When I jumped in, the water felt freezing against my skin so, as soon as the race started, I went flat out and as soon as I got to the end of the pool, I realized I came last. I felt so disappointed. I did not want to do breathstroke because I was far too cold. I got dressed Nick and Keegan came in. I chatted for a while then I watched the relay with the teachers swimming. When I got home I told Mum all about it.

Jays triathlon recount

I woke up feeling happy. I remembered that it was the triathlon today. It was at the Fendalton School pool. Mr Norton was getting everyone to the pool. I was nervous, my number was 1.0. That means that I was first in the pool. We started swimming. I was in second, we had to swim two lengths. I was soaking wet. I run out of the pool and I put my shoes and my helmeton, then I jumped on my bike. I got to the start and out the back gate, but my chain fell off. A Boys' High boy helped me put it on. There was two people in front. I caught up with them. I was about to run. I jumped off my bike and started running down the Village. I saw Sam W on his bike. I got to the field. I was so tired from running. I was all most finished. I passed SamT. I had 100 meters to go and I sprinted to the finish line. I had finished. I got second place. My dad was very happy.
The end.

The Great Team 18 Assembly

We have practised and practised a lot for our assembly.
I know the day will come but it will probably take forever because we have got so much on.
For assembly my group is going to say some things about the maze trip we went on.
Last night I was really busy typing up a script and finding photos of colourful maize, at last I finished. I gently put it in my school bag and went to bed feeling excited that we could practise tomorrow.
Arriving at school today was just as exciting as opening my bag and taking out the script, then telling Jess , Ruby and Sarah I had made it.
When Kiri goes to lunch I am going to ask her to blow up the photos so they are bigger and then we are going to glue it to a black piece of of paper to finish it so Jess can hold it up tomorrow in assembly.
I hope the day goes quickly because we are going to have a great assembly, I just hope Roz knows that we have got everything under control.
