Pictures in the Mind

I have been practising using words that give readers pictures in their minds.

Last week, my whole school did Athletics Day.
The  9 year old boys and girls  rushed excitedly from Vortex to High Jump. The girls walked over to their blue, soft, plastic, ripped high jump mat. The bar was  black and white. The girls’ supervisor was Carla. 

I was so nervous. I felt like I was a bug in a giant spider’s web but I had a good feeling that I would do well. The boys’ mat was the size of a hippo and it was green and white and  had stitching marks on it. The bar was orange and white.

Athletics Day

Yesterday, my whole school and I went onto the field to do Athletics Day.

First, we rushed excitedly and nervously onto the green turf courts. There was so many of us that it looked like we were a swarm of bees. First of all, we lined up in our house lines and Mr K told us the instructions and he said  that Harrigan was standing by the junior block  with some sun block, then we started the chants. My house is St Anne. Our chant was, 

Let’s make it clear,

St Anne is here.

Step aside for this is our year!

Let’s go St Anne!

We are the best,

We're way better than the rest! x2 Go....St Anne.

We were the last ones to do our chant. Straight after the chants, the whole school marched around the field then went to their first event.

Next, the 9 year olds did discus.The discus was round and as black as soot and it  had writing on it to tell how much it weighed. I was third in line. My first throw flew in the air like a frisbee, and my second throw did the same, but didn’t go as far. My last throw was going good but, when I was about to let go, it slipped out of my hand. It became a no throw. 

                            

The Cat Who Got Swept Up

Once upon a time, there was a cat that lived in the wild. It was called Fat Albert. It was called Fat Albert because he was fat and his owner was called  King Kong.

One day, Fat Albert was sleeping in some mud when, suddenly, a big colourful  bird with a beak as sharp as a knife and wings as big as plane wings took him to a tree as tall as the sky. This tree was the biggest tree in the world. 

All he could see were about one hundred birds the same, with bones and flesh in their nests and, at the top, there was a nest as big as, and, in that nest, there was a bird twice the size as Fat Albert. 

The bird put Fat Albert in  the nest then he heard a big noise. It was his owner and about ten thousand monkeys. They all climbed up the tree and killed all the birds. When they got to the top, they killed the big bird then Fat Albert pushed the big bird off the tree and they ended up living in it.
