Athletics Day T4W7

Hi, today for Writing we had to write down a descriptive piece of writing about athletics day!

OMG Athletics Day was so cool, and so fun.
I can't wait for next years one!!!
Introduction:

WOHHH it was just like the other day it was ATHLETICS DAY. Oh wait it was the other day man it was so exciting.

Keep reading to find out how fun it was at ATHLETICS DAY!!!!

Paragraph 1:

Getting ready to race I could see a mixed colours or clothing and blankets from my point of view.

As I stand on my lane I see my family cheering me on as I was running towards the finish line, I was able to see the fresh yummy sausage sizzlings from where I was standing.

The crowd cheering their kids on jumping up and down with gorgeous smiles on their faces.

I’m ready to race, and I could see Miss Kyla announcing the racers with her beautiful soft soothing voice.

Many different colours in front of my eyes dancing as Miss Kyla blasted music out of the speakers, like it was a mixture of a dance party and Athletics Day.

Paragraph 2:

As I was running I could feel the fresh air sprint threw my face as I crossed the finish line.

Support from my team cheering me on made me feel really good.

It was like the taste of victory in my mouth, as I just finished crossing the finish line.

The hot sun against my skin as if it was hot lava bursting out of a volcano.

I felt disappointed that my team didn't win Athletics Day, but to my team the thing that really matter is that we all had fun.

Seeing how many people that finished school, still supporting their old teams that they were in back then.

Paragraph 3:

I heard teams cheering, chanting and supporting their team mates as I sat there in silence.

Children running along the soft cut grass sounded like a bunch of hippo jumping back and forth.

It was so exciting to see children competing against each other to see who is the fastest, and havin FUN!!!

I could hear heaps of voices inside of head, saying WOHOOO GO (NAME OF CHILD)!!!

I heard screaming chanting and cheering.

Paragraph 4:

As I ran I felt the taste of victory inside of my mouth as I crossed the finish line. I also felt the taste of the delicious sausage sizzles in side of my mouth. The tasty crunchy sound of the onions on top and at the bottom of my sausage. The yummy bread with butter on it, oh BOY oh BOY was it YUMMY!!!!

Running back and fourth making me tired but also making me taste the fresh air inside of my mouth.

I was able to taste the yummy crunchy chips that my sister (Stephanie) brought.

Paragraph 5:

As I walked pass the hall I could smell the SAUSAGE SIZZLES being made!!

I could smell the the fresh grass in my nose, I could also smell the taste of sweat dripping down others, and myself’s bodies. I could smell the yum hot food that my family brought and unwrapped(YUMMY AND DELICIOUS).

I smelt the tasty food from my house tent, I could also smell the food from others families near by!!!!

Perfume from Mrs Kelly’s body!!!!!

Conclusion:

Overall though my team didn't win it the thing that really mattered was enjoying ourselves and having heaps of fun!!

Losana- My Persuasive Argument

WHY SHOULD PEOPLE PLAY MY SCRATCH GAME??

I believe that people should play my game because it’s appropriate from kids, and older ages. Another reason that I think people should play my game is because that the challenging part about it is that level 1, and 2 is very easy until you get up to level 3. Then from there on level 4 is quite challenging but not as challenging as level 3. Those are the reason why I believe people should play my Scratch game.

Thanks for reading, I hope I've persuaded you enough to at least have a try of my game.

Losana - My App Logo T3W8

Today for Writing we had to finish off our Scratch Games, so we could be able to complete tasks in a presentation that Miss Kyla Created for us. One of my activities were to create a logo for our Scratch games.
