Gumboot Throwing!
I was backing into my driveway on a fine Friday
afternoon when I saw a small white thing sticking out of
my letter box. I parked the car and walked over. I opened
up the letterbox and out slid a white piece of paper. I red
it in my head. This is what it said.

I raced into the house and slammed the door shut behind
me. ¨I so need to do this¨ I yelled. I raced into the garage
and picked up my black gumboot and scuttled out to the backyard.
I practiced throwing the gumboot until I felt tired. The the
next morning I signed up for the competition online.
Then it came to 12:30 and I jumped into the car and zoomed off for an awesome day. When it finally came to
1:00pm there was a loud speaker blasting across the huge
green field. It said ¨up first is Sophie Baxter.¨ I watched
a beautiful strong girl walk onto the field. She picked up
a black gumboot with a white soul. She threw it 38.7
meters. All of the competitors were amazing. ¨Last but
not least we have Adelaide Geldard. I carefully walked
up to the gumboot and picked it up up. I threw it as hard
as I could and it landed standing up. A tall man walked
up to me and said “You threw the gumboot 50.2 meters.
30 minutes later everyone sat down on the grass and
waited for man to announce the winner “And the
winner is Adelaide Geldard” I screamed my head off as i walked up to the golden trophy and heaved it into my
hands. The next morning I lay in bed with the trophy
next to me. “That was amazing” I whispered.
