Holiday fun

Key words:Hamilton, Drift, Crashes

• begins in the action
• present tense (I am, not I was)
• short, sharp sentences

I drift around the 180 corner smashing into the wall taking out the tyres. I step on the throttle racing past my cousin. I drift around another corner crashing into my dad making him spin out. I carry on past the finish, a couple of laps to go. Oh no I’m spinning out, I head into the pits and race on out again. My uncle races out of a short cut, cutting in front of me making me crash.I head back onto the track pulling out in front of my dad. My dad gets angry, he steps on full throttle passing me on the last corner. Finally he goes screaming over the finish line leaving me behind him.
Here is a quick video of groups acting out what they did in the holidays.

Production diary part 1

Day 1
I was waiting in room 19 waiting for my part in our production. They start calling out the medallists. I was hoping my name would get called out."And the last person for the medallists is Joshua.” 
“Yes I said to myself in my head, I’m a gold medallist. I head to room 20 (My home room) We sort out the people who are going to be who. I am Mahe Drysdale.


Day 2
I head to my Production room. Our part is called Parkvale goes wild. When I get to our room the start of our script is ready. In our production time we just got our script ready. I tried to memorise my script off by heart that day but it was pretty hard.


Day 3
I get my script out, ready for when Mr M comes in. When he gets here we head to the hall, I was scared we were going to do it in front of all of everyone else. Instead we just go into room 21 and practised. Then we came and did it on stage.
