A Beautiful Vase of Flowers (art)

 I chose to colour this picture because flowers are so peaceful. The original picture has  cream flowers but I wanted something more colorful. I like my green background even though I thought it was white!

Athletics Day!

Last week on Friday it was Athletics Day. I am in the Rata team (Red). I felt nervous and excited at the same time.

The races started after morning tea but first we all gathered under the canopy. Ms. Bullot told us to go in lines in our team colour. Then each team walked to the field and sat on the big blue mat provided by the teachers. We all eagerly waited for the first event to start.

"On your marks, get set,go!" yelled Ms. Bullot to the first group of runners for the fifty metre running race. We all cheered for our teams and sang our chants. I sang my team's chant,"Let's go Rata, Let's go!" I sang it over and over again until I started to lose my voice.

Then my race came on. I came third and I was very nervous. It was such a fun day in the sun and after Athletics Day we didn't have Popsicles like we have in the past.
