Evaluation

I think Peter Snell is the most inspiring athlete because he is such a tremendous motivator. I call him the first Usain Bolt. Just to throw this in

to evaluation out of 10. 10 being the best and 1 being the worst I think that peter snell is a 10 in being an inspiring athlete because he used to say (This is the research bit) He always used to say if you can’t be an athlete be a athletic supporter.

Great evaluation Chloe! Well done on completing all of your tasks this week.

I quickly dashed through the flower garden and went home to tell my annoying brother. Of course he was asleep so I woke him up by shrieking at him and said, ”Wake up right now!” So he did. I told him all about the flower forest. He said to me, ”YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME THERE.”

For some weird reason I remembered where it was. So I led him there and when we got there he was speechless. He said, ”We have to go further”, in a very in a hair raising voice. Just after he had said we have to go further I had an insane idea.  What if I was the first person to find the hidden fairy land?

My brother looked at me in a disapproving way. We both started sprinting through the thorny brown bushes getting pricked by everyone. Finally we got to the end. In front of us we saw a very giant tree. In the tree it glittered and we saw tiny little people flying around. I thought to myself, “Ok we better head back.”

‘NO!’ screamed my brother. I started to head back and my brother followed. The reason why I didn’t want to go in was because I hated fairies. I thought I was going to find something exciting. My brother was furious at me all week. I lay down on my bed and I still thought about that place...
