Arriving at the Ngaruawahia pools, I felt sick with goosebumps on my skin. I saw the water just sitting still waiting for the kids to dive in and make lots of splashes. I heard the loud cicadas and the trees swaying side to side. Today was our school swimming sports day.
Miss Whitfield asked Vanessa to lead us with our prayer so we all said the ‘Glory be to the Father’. After that Miss Whitfield gave instructions, for the students who wanted to do the 100 meter freestyle, through the loudspeakers. So 80% of the students walked over to the blue shaded area. The students all lined up in their age groups. Then the ten year old girls lined up ready for the race to begin.
During the race on the other side of the rest of us are waiting for our race in the little pool.
Next we had lunch. The Williamson family and Mr brown provided the sausages and drinks for us. I went to my house and sat down and ate when I sat down I sat in a puddle it was embarrassing.
When we had finished lunch it was the house relays. The fastest people in the house had to compete against every house. No one didn’t chose me. but I didn’t mine. I was cheering on my house saint Anne. My house won I was proud of the people who had won.
I felt tired happy and proud of the students who competed.
