Last month we had athletics day at school.
First we did vortex. I was the 1st to get my name written in a book so that’s the order that we were in. There was a girl and a boy line. There were two very light nerf vortexes, 33cm long. They looked like rugby balls. One had a black and green tail and one had a black and orange tail on the end which looked like the bottom of a rocket. I picked up the vortex and threw it. It shot like a bullet down the big grassy track. If we hit Mr.K, we would get a chocolate but we always missed him. The boys kept getting the green vortex and the girls got the orange.Well done, Joshua. I get good pictures in my mind when I read about Athletics Day. You have shown me what the vortex looked like and how it shot down the big track.
Joshua,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you mentioned children line up. How did they line up - quietly, excitedly, etc? How could you show this?
I like the way you showed how the vortex moved through the air. How could you use this great example, "It shot like a bullet down the big grassy track," to help show how your body moved when you were throwing the vortex?
Why did Mr K want you to hit him? Was it so that you had to stretch you throwing possibility?
