TUG O WAR

Yesterday a mystery arrived at our classroom. It was a gigantic box. What a mystery in our lovely class. When I looked in the mysterious box it was a tug o war rope. It was like a rubber snake. The tug o war rope was as thick as a pipe. We scurried outside to measure it since we have  been learning about measuring. So we got a metre ruler to see how long a metre was. When I finished we had to guess how long it was and I guessed 28 metres. When Floyd used the metre wheel it was 30 metres. Before lunch we had two games. Our first was furious. I heaved to pull the slithery snake. We won! I was sure Jaoquin had a grin on his face because we won... so now  he wants to win the next game.  As Mrs Ellis counted down from 5 I had a tight grip, 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 GO!
