Craft fair

 3 short bells rang out. The craft fair had started! Before the craft fair I had been testing out the horizontal bungee. The  horizontal bungee had been so much fun. The horizontal bungee isn't actually horizontal. The aim of the not -so -horizontal bungee is to grab the coke which is near the end of the mat without slipping on the soap and water.  But when I was testing it out I had my ticket in my pocket so when I got it out it was soaked. As soon as the three bells had finished ringing I went and got a new ticket. Then I went straight to the not-so-horizontal bungee. I was first in line. I put the harness on. I started running The bungee was stretching, I dived, I just got hold of the coke can. I reached my other hand to it, now I had it in a firm grip. The bungee started pulling me back but I still had the can of coke in my hand. Soon the bungee stop pulling. I had grabbed the coke! I was so thrilled.



Next I went to the bubble wrap one. The bubble wrap one was really fun. You had do bump people in these big soft balls. I ran and bumped Archie and then Archie got up and bumped me. When we hopped out I could tell that Archie was exhausted.



A bit later on I went to get waffles. The waffles were delicious. I had mine with passionfruit sauce. Once I had eaten my waffle I went and bounced on the bouncy castle. The bouncy castle isn't actually that bouncy  but it was still really fun. After the bouncy castle I wandered round for about half an hour.Then I went and found my Mum. "What's the time I asked?" "6.30." she said. "The time has flown by," I said. My mum nodded.


I ran off to the bouncy castle. I probably only had time for about one  more bounce on the bouncy castle. After about twenty minutes my Mum came and called me. "It's time to go," she said. It had been such a fun day at the craft fair with all my friends.

Interschool Athletics

 I sprinted towards the long jump block. I landed in first place but disappointment awaited me. It was a no jump. Damm it, I told myself. I asked the lady if we could have another jump but unfortunately she said no. She told us to go back to our school tents so that we were out of the blazing hot sun. Now I had to wait about half an hour before I went to high jump. That half an hour went very slowly but soon it was time.



Soon we were all huddled around steve. In case you're wondering steve is the high jump guy. Soon we were all lined  on the sides that we wanted to jump from. I jump  from seaside. but hillside went first. Archie, my friend, was lined up on hillside  and so was Author. Soon it was my turn to jump.I ran up to the bar and jumped but unfortunately I hit the bar. I was devastated. I lined back up. I jumped again I hit the bar once again I lined back up and jumped again. If I failed this one I was out. But then glory, I made it! I Went on to the red cone. I waited till my turn. Steve had moved the bar up only a little bit but i knew that that was going to make it a lot harder. I ran up to the bar and jumped but I didn't make it. I was so frustrated.




After high jump me an archie went to get juices.The juices were so nice and refreshing. Once we had eaten our juices we went and watched the year 6s do high jump. From Wainui there was wolf and oliver. Wolf came 4th and Oliver got the same result as me witch was weird because oliver had beaten wolf by a long way at our school. It had been such a fun day at Interschool Athletics.
