ATHLETICS DAY

It was a warm sunny day at St Paul's School and it was Athletics Day.
When it was 9.30, everyone had to line up on the green tiger turf court.There was a big grey fence that was surrounding the tiger turf court. The houses were St Anthony blue, St Anne yellow,St Francis green and St Joseph red. 
First, the 9 year old girls did Vortex.
Next,we did long jump.The sand felt soft and sandy. BAM!!!!! I landed on my two feet and my score was 3.6 metres. On my next go, I got 3.7 metres and, on my last go, I got 5.6. I felt good and brilliant and great because 5.6 metres was my best.

Finally, it was sprints. We did the 80m first, then we did the 100m, then the great, the whizz, the wonderful 200m!!!!!! I didn’t want to do sprints, but I had to do it anyway,then it was the A and B finals. I felt nervous because I’m not used to doing sprints and, this time, I came 2nd and 3rd. I was in the A and B finals in sprints.

It was a fun day, but I was very tired when I got home from school that afternoon.

The Great Pet Day

At St Paul’s School Pet Day, all the children brought their pets to school to show them off.

The cats came first and they were in cages and the children put them in the hall. They were scared, nervous, quiet and small. Shakira brought her cat called Blacky and Blacky was moving like a snail and she was quiet. She was a frightened cat.
It was the Pet Day Parade. All the children got their pets and took them to the court. 
The goat, the possum and the birds were my favourites because the goat’s tail was waggy, the possum is a nocturnal animal and the birds were yellow and blue.
l thought that it was fun because all the pets were funny and the Pet Day Parade was fun, especially Isabella’s goat, and I felt good about seeing the pets.
