Recount

As the door started to creep open slowly, a person started emerging from it holding a long metal bell. Suddenly all we could hear was “Get into line now!” We all scrambled into line in front of the rusty green gate spelling Otama School. At this moment in time the fog was still covering the hills. As I turned around I heard footsteps coming closer and closer. Suddenly, out pops Mrs Catherwood with her bright red cherry smile.

Once everyone was on the bus we were off. Everyone was constantly chatting until we got there. Then there was a moment of silence and nerves were kicking in. We all walked on the squishy wet grass until we got to our spot. We put down a blue tarpaulin to sit on it. It was a bit of a squish. We were up first so we got up onto the stage straight away. We were really nervous but we did our best. Once we were finished we sat down and watched the others. My favourite was Tuturau School. After we finished watching all the schools we went back to school after a good day.
