The Paralympic Games

Nicole in Dubai

Nicole was an 8 year old girl with long brown hair and freckles and she lived in Auckland and she played netball. Her favourite colour was purple and her eyes were blue.
Once upon a time, Nicole and her family went shopping in Dubai. She was in the lead going to a shop. She looked back. Her family was not there.They were in another shop.
She started to run through all the shops. She was running faster and faster. She was so scared, that, in her mind, she was screaming. When she was running, she saw a bad guy  so she ran faster. She was running through all the shops.
Phew! She got a glimpse of her family and she smiled.

New Zealand's Olympic Legends

Rowing
During the Olympics, we watched Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan race in the rowing for a gold medal in 2012.
First, we started off slowly. The other rowers were in the lead until they started slowing down. 
We started going ahead of rowers, one by one. 
Finally we were past all the rowers. We were nearly at the finish line and, suddenly, we were right at the end and we won the gold. Our class was cheering and we called them the New Zealand legends.
