The Paralympic Games

Sarahs Favourite Island

Once there was a girl called  Sarah. She lived on a beach front. Sarah was 10 years old. After school, she would always go to her favourite island with a palm tree on it.
One Saturday morning, Sarah woke up early. She got her brown, wooden dinghy and her story writing book, then she dragged her dinghy into the water and paddled to her island
After a while, she was close to her island. She hopped out and pulled  the dinghy up onto the sand. She climbed up to her wooden seat. She opened her book and started to write.
After a while, it was getting dark. She started to pack up her book but then she caught sight of sharks surrounding  the island.
She was so scared she screamed. It was so loud the sharks got scared off and swam away to chase fish. Sarah jumped out of the tree and ran to her dinghy and paddled home.

New Zealand's Olympic Legends

The Kiwi Crew

During the Olympics, I saw Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan racing for a gold medal.

The siren went. The race was on. 

At first, the New Zealand crew were slow. When the oars hit the water, there were little splashes. The water was crystal clear. it was in the sun.

The NZ canoe was going fast, so I really couldn't see it, but it had heaps of white, then the New Zealand crew caught up.They were 4th, then they went to 2nd, then 1st. They were in the lead and they won.

I felt proud to be in New Zealand.
