Cross Country

In cross country the year sixes had to start the races before they raced. While they were waiting nervously at the line Mr Burt had the clappers. He banged the wooden clappers hard and the Year 6’s were sprinting off leaving people behind them.

The year fives had to get up and race next. As soon as Mr Burt banged the clappers I sprinted off a quarter of the way and then jogged the whole way and only stopped only once. My heart was beating fast and I couldn’t breath properly and my lungs were screeching.
as soon as I got to the gate I sprinted of trying to get near the finished line I sprinted my hardest. It was me and a little boy racing together and as we came a tie I said “Nice running.”
When I finished I ask Mr Burt, “Did I come 8?”, he said “Yes”

My weekend

In  the weekend I went to my cousin’s house and played on his trampoline. I  can do back flips and when I come down my feet are hit the tramp, which  is as cold as a fridge. On my way back down from my jump my heart  starts to beats faster. My cousin Tiaraki asked me, “how did you do that  Piriniha?” “Oh it’s just easy for me to do.” I replied. I explained to  him, “the reason why it isn’t so hard for me is because I’ve been  practicing flips a couple of times a day until I finally got the hang of  it. I went back to focusing on my flips, bouncing twice to get height. I  pulled my stomach backwards and tucked my legs to my chest. I twisted  my body in a backwards flip and bent my legs to land a perfect flip. My  cousin’s eyes were amazed by my backflip. “Can you do a front flip?” My  cousin asked. “Sure can! Can you?” I asked. “No I'm not flexible as  you.” He laughed. Afterwards we went to the shops to get some lollies  for the other children. I wanted to save the lollies for us kids for  tomorrow when we were visiting Nan’s house. The other kids were too  excited to wait for the lollies but they were also excited because we  were going to Mangarei Pools, but thats another story to tell
