Alison Shanks

Stomp, stomp, stomp. All the noisy shoes came into the hall.
Today, Alison Shanks came because we invited her so she could teach our learning brain and our marvellous minds.
She told  us about the countdown. She was nervous so she practised in her apartment.
She  had five helpers. Their names were Taj, Theo, Gorgia, Jaxon and Jacinta. Mr Emms chose them. She talked  about her helmet .
 Jacinta wore her cycling clothes. It looked small but it was stretchy. There was a video of her cycling. She said, "Pretend this is Jacinta cycling and she can wear my helmet. Cheer her on. The others can hold up the flags. These two boys can hold the Olympic flag and the other two can hold the New Zealand flag."
We all cheered Jacinta. After the noisy cheer, she  talked about her fast and shiny cycling bike.
After the race, Jacinta won a gold medal. Alison talked to Jacinta,  "You can pass it to your classmates."
So Rooms 1 - Room 6 got to see the shiny gold medal. My classmates in Room 4 had a photo and some of Room 4's books got signed.
