Going To The Interschool Tournament For Cross Country

I was one of the chosen people to go to a cross country interschool tournament at Bailey Road School. We went there by van and back. I am a year seven girl and ran against the other year seven girls.

Once we got there they were just about to begin. First up was the year 3 girls and they did really well. We had to wait until it was our turn to race. Finally after a long time waiting and cheering others it was our turn. We went to the starting line and before we knew it we were off.

At the beginning I started to jog and kept to my own pace. We had to do 3 full laps of the course and most of the course was full of mud. On the first lap I was okay until I got to my second. When I did the second lap I was a little tired, but the third lap was the most tiring of all because thats when I’d got the “stitch.”

Eventually I had came 6th place .Even though I was the smallest person out of all the year seven girls that were racing I did pretty good and I’m proud!

My Tessellation

I have made a tessellation and these are my four main tips!

Four Main Tips To Make Your Tessellation:

• The best way to make your tessellation exactly symmetrical is to copy and paste it or Control D it.
• If you are doing the same patterns throughout the whole thing it is best to group it by pressing it then holding Shift and pressing on what you want as a group. The reason you do this is so that it’ll take less time.
• You can rotate it so that you will have it in different directions.
• (Main Tip For Me) Use colours that match so that your tessellation can look better!

Is This A Prank?

SUMMARY:

In Barnsley Auction Centre in South Yorkshire a cabinet has broken into pieces! They say that no one was in the building when the cabinet was smashed. On the video of the cabinet breaking it first opens then shatters into pieces. The house owner Danny, believes that the house is haunted. He says that “this is more scarier than a destructive hooligan”!

OPINION:

I think that this is creepy but I would love to see it with my own eyes for evidence but I don’t know whether I’d be more scared of a destructive hooligan or a ghost!

Hundreds Trapped By Floods!

SUMMARY:

Thousands of people in Northern India are trapped from heavy floodwaters. Heavy rains have caused the floods and also landslides which have killed 400 people in India and Pakistan.

OPINION:

I think that it is very bad that over 400 people have already died in India and Pakistan. It is also very bad because not only people are dying but the flood has caused massive damages which will cost over 8 million dollars to rebuild.
