6 Sentences Only!!!???

In L3 writing  our teacher challenged us to write a whole story, but there was a catch the story had to be 6 sentences long. My story was about an isolated horse without any friends. The story goes like this:

Once upon a time there lived an isolated horse who longed to have friends.

She lived in a massive field in the middle of nowhere!

This horse used to be the ultimate show jumping horse she even competed at the olympics.

Everyday she would dream her owner would come and visit her or even get her a new friend, it never happened though.

Friendless is the best way to describe the way that she felt.

One day as a wild herd came past she decided to leap the fence and join them and she lived happily ever after. 

I hope you like it!

This is the background for publishing.

The olympic games

 Do you know much about the Olympics? For 2 weeks now, the Olympics have been going on in Tokyo, Japan. Our class were given a booklet to fill in about the Olympics, Japan, Japanese culture, the athletes in the Olympics and the ancient Olympics. Our teacher got the booklet off Kiwi Kids News. Also in the booklet it has a couple pages about the paralympics, the paralympics are like the Olympics for people with different abilities such as maybe one leg, blind or deaf. Who is your favorite olympic or paralympics athlete? Mine is Caroline Powell a New Zealand equestrian rider. 

Ancient olympics.The ancient Olympics didn't used to be 16 days it used to be a 5 day event. In the ancient Olympics there only used to be 7 events such as running, long jump, shot put, javelin, boxing, pankration and equestrian events. The ancient Olympics were canceled once during World War I (1916) and twice during World War II (1940, 1944).  Did you know the ancient Olympics were over 2,700 years ago?

Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo, Japan is where the Olympics 2020 are being held. Around 11,000 athletes will participate in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Because of quarantines there are no spectators allowed to go to Tokyo 2020. This is not the first time Asia has held the olympics, They held the Olympics in 1964. Have you been to Tokyo, Japan?

Modern Olympics. Have you heard of Pierre de Coubertin? Pierre de Coubertin was the founder of the modern Olympics. In the modern Olympics there are 33 sports and 46 disciplines and the Olympics last for no more than 16 days. Every host city has to make 1 mascot for the Olympics and 1 for the paralympics. The Tokyo Olympic mascot is Miratowa and the paralympic mascot is Someity. Did you know the gold medals the give out to the winner are made out of mostly made out of silver not gold!?

Have you been watching the olympics on TV? The Olympics are a great opportunity for amazing athletes from around the world to illustrate what hard work and determination can achieve. The Olympics have many many sports so the athletes can do what they love and love what they do.

Everyone had a story about him

This week I did a very detailed interesting quick write  with the story starter: Everyone had story about him. In the story he had a deep dark secret that he was a thief and he couldn't stop robbing places because his family will mentally and physically abuse him. So they end up running away together.

    

Our dance group

 After participating in the rhythmical dance it looked really fun choreographing a dance. So Lola and Rio started a dance group and asked me and Esther if I wanted to help, and I said of course! The song is Dua Lipa levitating. Would you like me to teach a dance? We practice at lunch and morning tea every day and they are amazing. It is more rhythmical than just dance so they have to do quite a couple flips and tricks. They are year 5 and 4s so they are younger than us. They are all girls that are very flexible and bendy.

IT'S A CRAZY CIRCUS (part 2)

 Yesterday was the rhythmical dance performance. I'm going to tell you all about it, so let's start from the top. I didn't know how I was going to get to the gymnasium because I was the only rhythmical girl that was not doing grade, so I had no way to get there! I had to hunt down the teacher that was incharge of the gym festival, so I could see how I was getting there. I asked, she said I would have to catch a ride with the graders parents. When I got there, I didn't know what to do since my rhythmical performance was not until 11:30 and it was only 9:15! I looked around and saw my friends that did a grade earlier, so I sat with them and watched a school perform.

Lola ordered chips at the stall but she had to wait like for ever to get them because they ran out. Our coach had not turned up yet, but we were playing and waiting where she told us. Ten minutes later she walked around the corner with a huge plastic tub filled with bows and rainbow tutus. She said "get on the chair and I will do your hair". After, she did my hair and put the bow in my hair, I put on a tutu and danced around. We saw the other team enter and start practicing. Some of the other rhythmical girls in our team were doing grade so when we got our turn to practice, there were 8 of us in total. We quickly ran through the dance and went to do it again but the other team asked us if they could have a turn.

A kind lady had asked us to line up at number 4 so we can get ready to go on. It was so nerve racking! Would you be scared? Jax, our coach was on the other side of the tramp so I ran over and gave her a huge hug and thanked her for teaching us the dance. The other team were walking away into the other room so I ran back to the front of our team line and lead them in. By this time I had gotten even more nervous. "These are our 2 primary school rhythmical teams!" Announced Bevan. Mangapapa was first up. As they entered the stage, I was not even one bit nervous now. 5 minutes later, they were done and their dance was amazing!!! It was our turn! We got into position and the music started. It was so hard to skip on the bouncy floor because we went so high! Our dance was so much fun to do. We still don't know who won though... 

Its as crazy circus!

 In gizzy we have a gymnastic festival ever year and there is a rhythmic section which is competitive and i made it into the team. Our theme is circus! If you search up Britney Spears Circus Villains Remix, we have to dance really fast. We get to do flips and learn new trick, its so much fun. The outfits in the photos are our ones we are wearing. Would you audition for the team?
