Our Writing

We have been imagining what it would be like to be an Olympian. We chose a sport we'd like to play and wrote about the start of the race or game. Here's a snippet from some of the children:

I kept running past the line. I looked back. I looked forward. I didn’t know where I had come. By Maia

Bang! I started to run. My legs are pumping. I’m at the finish line. By Liam

I crouch down waiting for the gun. The referee says, “Ready, set, go.” The gun goes. We are running. By Harrison

When the instructor says, “Go!” I am very nervous but I go speeding through the blue water. By Macy

I’ve got the ball. I’m starting to run but the other team gets in the way. I pass the ball. By Kate

I am at the race. I am feeling scared and worried too. By George

I’m running. My legs are pumping. Come on, come on. I am sprinting and speeding down the line. By Trinity

I keep going. The crowd is screaming. There is no way I can stop now. By Denver

Bang! My heart is going hard and fast. My legs are pounding. My arms are pumping. I’m nearly at the finish line. By Estelle

I am waiting for the whistle. The crowd is cheering. The whistle goes. I am whizzing through the players. By Ethan

I play rugby. When I get the ball and I’m close to the line I always dive. By Christian
