Pictures in the Mind

I have been practising use words that give readers pictures in their minds. 

Last week we did athletics day.

We went to vortex. The vortex  was green. It was the shape of a rugby ball. There were holes in the sides that made the vortex whistle. The tail on the back was the shape of a plane’s wings. When I gave it my best chuck, it sounded like a plane or a jet. When we were practising, Mr K said, “If you hit me, I will give you some chocolate,” but he kept on moving. Nathanael and James were happy when they got their piece of chocolate.

Athletics Day

Yesterday, our school had Athletics Day and, when we were ready, we went down to the court and said our house chant. After that, I got really nervous in my

stomach. 
First, we went to the discus. It was the shape of a frisbee. It was sort of hard to get your hand around it because it was quite big, you know.

Next, we went to vortex. The vortex was the shape of a rugby ball or an aeroplane.

Finally, we went to sprints. First, we did the 80 metres then the 100 metres. I came in 4th and, in the second race, I came in a tie with Flynn.
