Edible explosion

Edible explosion!!!!

It was about to be my turn, I had to measure 4 different 

things into one paper bag.  After Amber, Rio, Kale'a and I all had a turn 

putting the citric acid, icing sugar, flavour and baking powder in, it was sherbet. 

We put our spoons in and tried it out. It fizzed like crazy!  I opened my mouth and I almost threw up, but I swallowed it and it burnt my mouth. I disliked it and I don't say stuff like that very often. That's Alice for don't try this!!!!! There were too much chemicals in my opinion.  I had some more this time and I had a drink of water and it made the explosion bigger, bigger and bigger until it was giant but then...I swallowed it.  It was fun but I didn't like the taste.  By Alice Varey.

"I'm so nervous." whispered Indie as the year 3's lined up. "Indie you're gonna miss your race!" I yelled as she ran to the start line. Matua Nick started them off.  About 200,000  minutes later we lined up at the start  line.  " Ready, set, go!" yelled matua Nick.  Off we went like lightning down the gravel, down the hill, along  the road then ... I forgot where we were going. I ran down a dip in the sand and raced up the hill I I sprinted back the way i'd come. Suddenly I was racing towards the finish line as Manaia cheered,  "Go!,"  I thought I came last but I realised I actually came ... fifth. My grandparents  said, "Congratulations."
