The America's Cup race

Hi everyone,

Room 3 have been following the America's Cup over the past couple of days so today we watched some racing, streaming live, on our interactive whiteboard. We decided to write a story about the race we watched. Here are some of them...

Crash! Crash went the waves. I was about to explode with excitement. The race was about to start. Woo-hoo! Yippee! The race started. The sailors were grinding and pulling out their muscles. "Ouch, that hurt!" Said one of the sailors. "Grind even faster!" Yelled another sailor, "we're loosing, they're winning!"

The waves crashed. The boats were off out of the water. I didn't believe it. It looked cool. How do they do that? Splash! "Oh no! Go! Go! Go!" What - we loose? That's not fair. I thought we would win.

Bash! Crash! Splash! Wish wash. Go! Go! Go! Team New Zealand I hope you win the America's Cup.

The waves were crashing. Bang! Bang! Bang! They sped off at the start. The water looked like a pearl. I heard people yelling. I'm so excited to see who will win. I yelled at the screen, "Quickly! Quickly! Get in front and win. Hurry!"

Pump, pump, as fast as thunder, otherwise we won't win. Put more sails up so we go faster like the wind. New Zealand is in the lead. Yay! New Zealand wins.

As the water pulled, the boats pushed. The boats bumped as well. The race was happening a long way away. The boats went bumpety humpety bump.The island shivered. "Ahhhh" They cried. They did not need rope. They did not like loosing at all, but the race was quite good anyway. Team New Zealand lost.

Let's hope they win tomorrow!

Have a great weekend and try to remember to bring back your choices for electives on Monday.
