Write to describe that moment in time. “Tug o war”
Just imagine pulling the long light brown rope that is as long as a train. The rope slipping out of your hands and the adrenaline rushing through your veins you feel the excitement as you creep further away from the the other team but the rope is still sitting firmly in your hand your eye and your face scrunched up with sweat dripping down your forehead. You feel the excitement really hitting you know as the crimson rag tied onto the middle of the rope creeps closer and closer and closer. The excitement is keeping you determined.
Just listen to everyone yelling and screeching as they cheer you on, house chants fill the air and all you can hear is the deafening sound of everyone screeching. “ Go Akaroa,”. That is all you could hear take up all the time to actually believe it.
Your legs feel like jelly, you’re exhausted and extremely sleepy your hands are aching and your head is really hot from the sun shining on you the whole day. Your body is like spaghetti, and your is roasting like chicken. Your face is all red and is like a big cherry all you want now is to give up, but you can’t you should be determined to finish this match with the other side.
This is what it would be like to be in the shoes of an exhausted person doing the extremely hard tug o war.

Grunt, grunt the children hesitate, gripping the rope with both hands while the sun beats down on them. They felt their sunblocked hands gently slipping away from the rope, they try to yank the twisty rope back to their side, but it was no use they needed more force. Everyone didn’t want to let their team down but someone obviesly wanted to win more than anybody else because they put up enough force for the rest of the kids to join in. The tight knot passed the cone they had won the tug of war!
They felt tired and sweaty and the worst thing was they had to do it all over again on friday.
On Thursday we had an extreme exercise extravaganza event. I’m going to tell you about one event biking around the whole school three times.
Yeah, as the teachers cheering with excitement. Crash, as the kids skid across the ground. Zoom, as kids firing past the seniors. Exhausted, as mr hutchings says “keep going only two laps to go”.
The sounds of the kids screaming get out the way. The bells on the bike is as loud, as lion roaring for pride. Honking of the cars speeding past right next to me. Adults screeching for their kids attention.
This was the extreme exercise bike race!!!
**********
They can see the kids lining up nervously to the start line, ready set go, the flag drops They race off with their feet working hard to pedal and keep balance. After a while everyone decided to stroll and everybody got puffed (lucky it wasn’t a race.)
They really enjoyed this moment on there bikes and just strolling. There Mum’s could be there cheering them on saying keep peddling keep peddling. Their second lap was very fast they could feel their helmet rattling and They could hear the wind pushing hard against their face. They loved the feeling of this entertaining bit of the day.
Everyone’s third lap was very short. All we had to do is go down to the grippy astro turf and did some enjoyable stuff. We played who can go the slowest. Some people did incredible. After that we played elimination where People were on the bikes and Kevin was telling us to to go around in circles turn around and not let us put our feet on the ground.

MY MOMENT IN TIME WRITING
Te Hunga team are on the bikes. The year seven and eights go first. They go down the steep narrow path. In single file they are off. They are no longer in sight. Now it is time for the year six and fives to go the year sixes go first. They all go down makes sure they have there hands on their brakes. Finally it is my go I am the last year six to go down. I feel nervous. I feel like the whole world is on my shoulders.
I go down the path. The the air greets my face. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I scream so loud that I bet the whole earth and universe could hear me. We all turn down the path and head beyond the school. There is now a windy narrow path ahead. It goes down and it was incredibly narrow.
This is where is goes all WRONG for me. I turn to go down it and I looked at. I also looked at all of the others going down and think I can do this. I went down. I felt like my tummy was a storage unit for butterflies. I put on my back brakes but my foot slipped and the petal was behind my ankle and I had to put my feet on the ground so I did. That really hurt. Some skin came off. I skidded to a halt. I pulled over. The others kept on going. I got off my bike and walked the rest of the way. When I got back they were all there even the year ones. I was the last one to finish. I felt sort of ashamed but at least I tried.
I felt good and bad because I did it but I was the last one to arrive and I AM A YEAR SIX!
The soar still felt like three bees stinging me at the same time.

I was in the enormous crowd of bikes I could hear kids shouting and birds whistling. I can also hear lots of teachers telling us all the rules the safety rules. I hear all the trees screaming . I see enormous trees the size of skyscrapers I I also could see a stampede of bikes and a lot of helmets !!!. :)
The Extreme Exercise Extravaganza…
After Lunch We Did Tug OF War
First Up There Was Year 5-6 Red (Sorry Cant Spell It In Maori) Vs Blue I'm A Red House Captain So I Could Do Nothing Just Like The Rest. It Was Hard I Haft To Say But Red Won
Then It Was Year 5-6 Green Team Vs Purple And I Think Green Won.
Then Year 7-8 Purple Vs Year 7-8 Red Then Red Bet Them Again When Red Came Back From Pulling The Were Sweaty And They Smelt Bad To.
Then It Was 7-8 Green Vs Blue, Blue Won
Then Year 5-6 Purple Vs Blue Purple Won
The Thing That Sucked The Most Is That It Was Green Vs Blue Then Blue Vs Purple Because Red Didn’t Have A Turn For Like 40 Mins
All The Year 7-8 Had Lots Of Turns But Year 5-6 Had Only 2 Turns Everyone Else Had Like 5.
The Funny Thing At The End Of Tug OF War The Teachers and Parents Vs All The Year 7-8s But Not 5-6 =(
The Extreme Exercise Extravaganza…
Ben points at people as they ride out of school. We went round the school. We only had to stop once. It was immensely fun. The second time round there was my brothers friend. He had crash and badly hurt his arm. There was looking at him. Then a teacher came and looked after him we kept going. Close to the end there was a big hill we had to get up there was a lot of people were panting i felt tired but an extrodinery sense of achievement.
THE TUG OF WAR.

START:
The sunlight slowly moving down as people tugged the rope.
There are 1,000s of people heaving the rope. There are people screaming and cheering. There are house people springing in the air. Heaps of people slipping and tripping. There is people with Puffing red faces.
There are birds tweeting. House people sereming and cheering. There was stomping feet hitting the grass. There were people breathing deeply. People were trying as hard as they can shouting heave.
The tough rope in my hand make me happy. We were all tired and poofed. When we first touched the rope we were excited. When we won the first round we were happy. There was very hard ground.
