Athlete Writing

This weeks writing task was called "Show don't Tell". We had to pick an athlete NOT USAIN BOLT and we had to explain how they were feeling Before the race,During the race and After the race.Hope you enjoy this piece of information.


Blake just finished running the 200m race, he clapped his hands together and jumped with joy  but you could tell that he looked tired.

How does it feel coming second? Trying to beat Bolt would have been exhausting for you. What a privilege it would’ve been to run against the greatest Usain Bolt.

I felt pretty good coming second because its better then coming last, Now I know that all I have to do is try to keep fit so maybe next time I race against Bolt I might even beat him.

MY AWESOME DAY AT POLYFEST

Yesterday Morning team 5 had been given the chance to go to the 2017 Polyfest. While we were there we got to walk around and look and all the different stores and activities and we also got to see some performances.

My first highlight of that day was going to get the flava tattoo. I got my flava tattoo on my right arm.When the tattoo was done we got to go in to a little van that had a video game called street fighter. I was about to play but I did not want to.

My second highlight of the day was playing jenga. We had to try and get as high as we could. We were so close to betting the other school but it all fell down.

After we had lunch we got some little ASB bags. Inside the bags were, Glasses,Sunscreen,Fan,Pamflet and a Hacky sack

The Most favourite part of the day was spending it with all my friends and my teachers.

This years polyfest was fun. I can not wait until we go next year.
