Trying out for the swim team
Me Lily and Poppy H were all very stressed . Lily
and Poppy H had got in last year while I had not even heard of it .I
think I was in fiji . when we lined up I had felt if hundreds of butterflies had suddenly hatched in my stomach . NEXT ! my line stood up and got in the pool . The water was icy cold . GO! I pushed off with my back legs and streaked through the buckets of icy water. my lungs tightened and I started struggling for breath . then , my hand touched something rough and hard witch was the end of the pool. when I found out I got in the swim team I was sick with nerves. the practices were ok , but I can't imagine how stressful the real thing will be.

I really liked the way that you used lots of interesting words like streaked and hatched. I have always wondered what it would be like to try out for the swim team and now I know. I wonder if next time you could use speech marks for people saying stuff like 'Go!' or 'Next!'. Great job Ruby!!!

DeleteGood descriptive words, Ruby. Congratulations on getting in, I felt like that when I first tried out for the swim team. Next time maybe you could put a photo in.
