Mrs Tennant lead N4 my hmr and kaiarahi class outside to the entrance of the college by the office. All of us had just come from interval. It was period 3. We were playing a game called fill the bucket. We had nine ice cream containers. There was a bucket of yellow water about 2 metres in front of us. We had two rounds of it. The aim was to see who could fill their bucket up the most without cheating. This task was for writing to retell and describe an event or an experience. That’s why i’m talking about this right now!
“Your time starts … NOW!” I ran was my clear plastic cup in my left hand. I filled my cup up to the halfway line, the cup went straight back into my mouth. “Crack” the cup cracked in my mouth. My mouth sucked up the warm water my taste buds turned. I could smell the water “ this smells a bit weird” I thought to myself. It tasted and smelt like salt. Im pretty sure it was normal water. Does your tap water taste like that? As my friend circled the bucket I could feel the water splashing on my face. I heard everyone cheering and laughing. 😂
After we all had a go, well most of us. We went back to class and started brainstorming our ideas for this recount. Like seriously, this one that your reading now.
The day was very fun. The teacher came up with an awesome idea. Maybe you could ask your teacher or parents to do this with you.
