Keaton Scores A Try


We are learning to use present participles in our writing.
Dodging through Waipa, Hunter ran with the ball. Waiting for him to pass the ball to me, I  ran next to him. Smack! He threw the ball. I caught it. I clenched on tightly.
I turned to face the try line. It was beckoning me to score a try. I sped down to the try line, darting through Waipa’s team. My heart was pounding as fast as the pistons from a monster racer. My breath was disappearing dangerously and I needed to stop and have a breather but, if I did, I would get touched and wouldn’t get the try. 
I kept going and drifted through  with the ball still clenched in my hands and scored.

“We won We won!” We all shouted in each other’s faces. We all went and made a circle and cheered for Waipa.
