INDEPENDENCE DAY

Winner!

Kicking hard. Splash! Pop! Dive! Jump!
There go four! four go in the pool
Kicking their hands over their heads
Making big waves.
"GO! GO!"
One person giving way
Another person is passing that person over there
One person hitting her hand on the wall.

King of the Plank

King of the Plank

On Independence Day we (the Sakeji students) went to the pool and had swimming races and other water activities. One of the activities was called King of the Plank. In this game, two people tried to knock each other off a log in the pool, which was held by a wooden structure. The competitors had to hit each other with pillowcases that were filled with sponge balls. The person who stayed on the log the longest was the winner of King of the Plank.

The Big Bang!

Bang! Down fell the bamboo and everyone went to the ground!
"Come on Kukie, we better start running! Oh look Kukie, it's time for the fire works."
"Whoosh!" Up went a firework. "Ohh! Ah!" went everyone. "Bang! Bang!" went the fireworks!
Then round and round all sorts of colours came out of the fire works. "Look Kukie, sparklers and they have such nice colours." "Pop! Pop! Pop!" Thank you Mr. Beirworth. "Pop! Pop!"
