Rock This Party

This morning, we went into the hall to do line dancing with Kate. We learnt heaps of new dance moves that we didn't know. We learnt step by step. It was a lot of fun. 
You can see us on our class blog at stproom4.blogspot.co.nz

Pictures in the Mind

I have been practising using words in my writing that give readers pictures in their minds.
Three weeks ago, the school did athletics on the field.
It was a very nice warm day. The grass was as soft as my cat’s fur. I wanted to lie down on it. The first event I did was the high jump. The bar was as long as a giraffe neck.
In the line, I was second to last. Finally, it was my turn. I ran around in the shape of a colourful rainbow. I jumped over the bar like a grasshopper and ran back to the line. The bar had not fallen off. I got my second chance to jump.  I pounced over the bar, but, this time, it was higher. I landed face first onto the soft as a couch mat but do not worry. It did not hurt, so I laughed. I got back on my feet and ran back to the end of the line. My turn was coming up. I sprinted to the bar and scissor- kicked into the air and on to the mat again with the bar on my tum tum. Bad luck, I thought to myself, but I tried my best. I got another go. I took a step back and ran like a bee darting from flower to flower. I jumped over the bar.
