Bella's Tryathlon

In Te Maunga we have been learning how to write recounts and to put more interesting words in our writing. Also on Friday Paihia School did a triathlon so that is what wrote about. Here is my recount that I made.

On Friday  Paihia school had a tryathlon. I was wishing I hadn’t gone to school. I was sitting on the court when I had just realised Mrs Williams had started talking so I listened. “First of all we are going to walk to the beach, then we will start the swimming, then run back to school, hop on a bike and race.  Then we are done.”   She explained. Secretly I really didn’t want to do it but I had no choice.

Mrs Williams had a little talk to us about the course. In no time we started the races. First Te Ngahere went. It was so hot in the boiling sun watching them in the water.  Second Te Maunga (My class.)  Because I didn’t go for a bath in the sea I had to run ahead of the girls, some of them didn’t think it was fair. “I feel like a flat tyre” I said to myself while I was running.  We just kept running as fast as we could to get back to school.

I grabbed my bike put on my shoes and placed my helmet on my head. I got down to Whaea Becks but something strange was happening I couldn’t pedal so I looked down and realised that my chain had fallen off. I felt like a sad puppy because I had to dash all the way across the field . It was so hard but I was happy because all my friends were cheering for me.

At the end I felt like a balloon that had been deflated. That changed quickly because we got a muesli bar it was amazing. We got to have a ice cream from the Whare Kai. I got a Finding Dory one.  We got to have some fun then back in the classroom. What a busy day.
