My Phenomenal Effort

 My legs were as wobbly as spaghetti as my school and I entered the athletics cluster. At my athletics at school, I only came 1st in 100 metre sprint. I felt very nervous and delighted at the same time because I saw many schools competing.

 First, I began to exercise. I went for 10 laps around the field and did some basic exercises like 10 star jumps, 15 push-ups and 20 burpees. Afterwards I ran as quick as I could to the starting line because I just heard that my race was about to start.

 I saw the opponents I was up against and they looked really fierce. In my head I absolutely knew for sure that I could beat them at anytime . Almost as the race was going to start, I felt a lot of butterflies in my stomach. My hands were as cold as ice and my skin was itchy than Poison Ivy.

The race started and on I went pumping my 2 skinny legs with all my strength. My school was screaming like babies and the crowd was going wild. I was so close to the finish line, I leaped into the air like a bunny and past the finish line feeling very relieved happy that the race was over.

 I was so tired, my forehead was full of sweat and my legs were looking like it was dead. As soon as I hit the floor , my beautiful mum charged straight at me and gave me a long hug and a huge kiss on my 2 chubby cheeks. She was really proud of me for placing in 1st and for trying my best.

 Coming 1st in the athletic cluster is something that I’ve never done in my life. I felt super joyful. This day was certainly exhausting but I felt one million percent happy competing in athletics cluster.

A Visit to the Museum

My class and I were very shaky as we arrived at the Museum. I was 100 percent excited to see all types of different things about Insects and all kinds of other stuff in the Museum. First we went into a little room to disgust the rules about what we do inside the Museum and what we do outside of the Museum. After we put all our bags in a cage and traveled to the domain outside. We all split up into small groups and grabbed a iPad per group.

 In my group, was my best friends Gideon, Maria, Aj and Arman. We were the group that was going to be filmed. I was super hyped because I’ve always dreamed of being a famous star. Each group had to go search the outside and take pictures with the iPad of different types of insects, animals, and native plants and trees. As my group was walking through the forest, we took a lot of pictures of insects, animals and plants.

 I spotted a brown bird chirping around near a massive tree and my group all spotted a pepper tree getting blown by the strong wind. Next, one of the tourist guides, Ruby led us to a creek. She grabbed a fishing net and used it to scoop the dirt under the water. I put a grey tray on the floor and she poured the dirt inside. Suddenly many creatures were crawling out of the dirt swimming around the tray. It was so hilarious because it looked like it was dancing.

We saw larvaes, Mayflies, Caddisflies and also baby slugs. We took pictures of all the insects and animals we saw. A few moments later  everyone was called back to the domain. That day we had so much fun and explored the wonderful things in the huge museum.

I really had so much fun at the museum, especially when my group and I explored the nature taking photos of Insects, Animals, Plants and Trees. I can't wait to come back some other time.
