Snowboarding

Room 5 is learning how to describe how a person was feeling and thinking but without it being you in writing. We are writing about Zoi Zadowski-Synott who was a Kiwi snowboarder in the Winter Olympics this year. My class had to write the description in present tense. This is my writing.

Snowboarding

Zoi is racing down the hill going as fast as a lightning bolt. The cold chunky snow is getting all in her mouth as she zooms down the huge hill. She feels very excited and scared because she might fail by falling onto the clean white snow. Here she goes! Up, up and away. Zoi is up in the clear crisp sky and she is flinging her head backwards to start her double somersault. She is getting a bit dizzy now and she has only finished her first somersault. Flinging her body backwards to start the second somersault, Zoi starts to worry about her landing again. She is about touch the snow, scared that she will fall over. “She made the landing! Woohoo!” The crowd shrieks.  Zoi slides down the hill and skids so that she gets snow on everyone. “ Zoi has won a bronze in the Winter Olympics,” calls the Judge. Zoi has a grand grin on her face as she jumps out of her foot holes from the snowboard and punches the air.
