Patrick didn't like school. Whenever his mum asked him if he was doing his homework he would lay down on his bed and say yes mum. He was born in Britten. One day  Patrick was on his way to school when he met up in between the path to sea shore and the one to school. He decided hmm well I don't want to go to school. So he skipped school and took the path to the see shore. When he got there he swung on the tree branches and skipped around. Until he froze in silent it was pirate ship. They invaded the village kids including Patrick. The Pirate dumped them into the ship as they were screaming loudly. The pirates sailed away to Island. Patrick new there scary old people there he had been wishing he went school. The pirates made the kids work for days until they got sold. Patrick lived in the kitchen of the persons house he got sold to. He lit a fire so the wolfs wouldn't come. One night Patrick woke up and heard a voice saying your ship is here its time to escape. He listened then scrammed rushing out the door he asked a nice lady for food and water. After running two hundred miles he saw a ship about leave. One of the crue mates  handed him a rope  he climbed aboard. The child and the crew had been sailing for three day once they hit middle ocean there was a storm. And their ship got grounded when they got out there and was in France. There was no food or water they starved for days wanting food and water. One day the pirates said I thought god cared for us just then Patrick kneeled down and prayed. Just then a heard of wild pigs came and juicy apples and now they were feed and one day Patrick would go to his family again.  

 

SWIMMING SPORTS

When I got to the pools, I felt  little hungry so I ate some food. Yum! Yum! Suddenly, my race got called out loudly. I was excited until I heard it was in the little pool so I decided  to race in the big pool so I did. In my first race, I did freestyle. I came last but at least I did it. The next race was backstroke. I came last again then it was the other seniors. 
After that, it was free time so I kept on bombing in. We also couldn't forget the relay. 
St Anthony won them all and we all scrambled home.

The Rocket

Fall! Fall! Fall! Everyone was yelling at me to fall but it was just for fun. So I ignored them.

It was a long red rocket looking like a noodle.

Ashley and Paul blew the rocket up. When it was half way through being blown up, Ashley dumped it in the pool. 

First, Ashley taught us a drill before we scrambled onto the rocket. She gave us an example of what to do. 

The first time I went on, I was like a flying saucer. I ran and slipped and went flying through the air and slapped the water. 

 

On my second go, I gripped the rocket and reached out to halfway. On my last time, I slowly grabbed the end of the rocket thinking I would fall. It just about my next turn when I heard a voice saying come to the edge of the pool, but it was a good thing - time for prizes. I didn't win but I still got a lollipop on my way out of the changing room.
