Walt: use paragraphs in my writing

I arrive in Edmonton,  in the South West of Canada. Where this years commonwealth games are being held. I Came to Edmonton on a Ploat, a plane crossed with a boat. We sailed from England to British Columbia and flew from British Columbia to Edmonton. I have to beat Last Commonwealth games winner, my nemesis. Josh Fentiman. I get a floating taxi to the hotel where I am going to sleep tonight. When I get out I find it weird that the taxi driver didn't charge me any money. I think he knew that I was an international triathlete. I get up to the top floor, where my hotel room was and it was 70 floors to the top. I cook some pasta because I was carbo loading for tomorrows race where I would beat, Josh Fentiman.

The next morning I wake up and realize That I am late for the triathlon. I jump out of bed,  put my gear on, grab a banana and run out to get a taxi. The first taxi I see pulls right over and picks me up. I tell him to drive to The Olympic sized swimming pool and step on it. He goes as fast as he can and we get their just before the triathlon starts. I run over to the diving block and look over and see him. Josh Fentiman. In a way I think that I will lose the triathlon but in another way I think I might win it. The nervousness starts and the adrenaline kicks in.

The beep goes and we dive into the pool. I look over and I Josh is way behind me. I think to myself “this is gonna be a breeze.” I jump out of the swimming pool and run over to the bike transition and I jump on my floating bike and start riding until I fall off my bike and loose loads of time. Josh overtakes me and I am very angry I jump back on my floating bike and sprint to get him. I get to the running transition and he is still in front of me I get my bouncy shoes on and jump faster than I have ever been before. I get to Josh and stick behind him until the last straight then jump over him and cross the finish line. I can’t believe I won the triathlon I am so happy I fall over. Josh comes over the finish line just before I do and when I fall over he helped me up because we were doing so well. The next people to come over the line where Cameroon and Namibia. Namibia was 1000s of a second in front of Cameroon and Namibia came 3rd.

The next part was the medal ceremony and I was in the middle of Josh and The Namibian person. When they called us out we walked to the podium and we stood behind them. The Guy said “And in 3rd place, Representing Namibia, Dirk Coetzee.” The the guy says again “And in 2nd place representing New Zealand, Josh Fentiman” then Josh looks at me, and I can read his face, he is saying, “I can’t believe I didn't win.” Then the guy then says again “And in 1st place, representing England, Finlay Brown” and everybody cheers for me and I feel so happy. That night I fall asleep and I say to myself and I am so glad I am in the commonwealth games, and I want to stay like this forever.

Hanging bed Description

WALT: Show not tell

I slowly walked through the trees as the sun shone through them, I looked around and saw something up in the treetops, I jumped and saw that it was bigger than the biggest bird on earth. The flashes of colors on the soft fabric was like a rainbow jumping, the pillows were like silk and were as colorful as a rainbow. There was a lamp next to it and was a bright as the brightest star. There was a ladder next to the bed that was as tall as one thousand chipmunks stacked on top of each other. I climbed up the ladder and jumped on my new hanging bed.

#1 Auckland

We Are in Auckland at the moment and are in a pub with a friend of my cousin Craig's called Sarah. We are looking forward to the warriors and are having loads of fun! We went up the Sky Tower and went in a glass elevator that has a glass panel in the bottom of it and was SUPER scary even though we had an awesome view at the top. Today we also went bowling and I won the first game (85 points was the winner) and Craig (aka Italy) won the second round. Then we dropped Sarah off at her house and went home (Craig's Home, obviously, Why would we want to go home!)

Argument writing - Electric cars

Dear People that hate Electric Cars

I Strongly believe that electric cars should be made because it saves Money and then we don’t have to have petrol in the world. Petrol is bad for the environment and is only good for cars with motors.

If people in the world don’t want electric cars then what was the point in spending those millions of dollars to make them.

It saves the environment and all the trees in the forest. We would have less pollution in the world and less trees would die.

Yours sincerely

Finlay
