Today's post is by a guest blogger. This student in my class is definitely a superwoman in the making... but she hasn't earned her cape yet! So, without further ado, let me introduce Wonder girl and her recount about a recent school Leadership Day.
On Friday the 13th the year 7&8 students went to Green pastures for leadership day. The first thing we did was the mud run. Now as you should know not many girls like to be covered in mud from head to toe. Well I was one of them. Except I wasn't covered from head to toe. I was only covered up to my chest.
I walked into the first bit of the mud and it was so watery and then I pulled on the rope and I slid right in. There was a little bit of a slide. After that I took the shortcut along the bushes. I got to the other side of the deep deep bit and we had to help heaps of other people.
Stevie and I were extremely exhausted after getting Boobear out of the really deep part. The deepest part would probably go over Stevie's head or maybe just up to her eyebrows or even just up to her forehead. The deep part would've only been up to my nose. I'm amazed how some of the boys didn't mind the mud.
There was one flat bit on it that had a big leaf on it and I stood on it and it turned out to be a big giant hole. My ankle hurt so badly after that. It was time to wash off in the lake. I thought it would be freezing in the lake but it was actually really warm. We were allowed to bomb in,jump in and all that. There was this one funny bit where my shoe fell off in and I was searching underwater for my shoe. That was funny. It was the best part about the leadership day.
What an awesome day. Great use of descriptive language.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, what a challenge!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's weird how boys don't mind mud... I think they are an alien species. The lake sounds like fun. Hope your ankle is ok.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had some struggles but came through them...looks like you're a leader in the making! Keep up the blogging!

What a powerful writers voice you have. You write as though you're speaking directly to the reader. A fantastic skill to have as a writer. I felt as though I was joining you on the mud run. Keep writing - we need to read more from you. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this. I was definitely one of those girls who didn't like getting muddy. I agree with you - I don't know how the boys mind it!
ReplyDeleteGreat recount.. I giggled at the part where you lost your shoe.
ReplyDeleteThe organisation of your writing makes reading it easy and enjoyable. You not only used your punctuation well, but you kept each paragraph interesting with your quirky sense of humour. It sounds like the day was one that will last in your memory for a long time. ;-)
