Summary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

By Karla


Harry Potter only knew he was a wizard when it was his 11th birthday. When he turned 11 he was invited to Hogwarts. Since he didn’t know where to go so Hagrid the Gamekeeper at Hogwarts came to get him. He didn’t know he had any money but he really had a lot in the wizarding bank Gringotts. Once he got to Hogwarts he realized that there was a teacher that hated him. Harry hated Severus Snape. Hogwarts was fun and had a lot of mysteries for him.

My Big Gymnastics Win

By Julia


I heard the crowd cheering for me and that made me feel excited. When I walked into the gym, I could already hear the National Anthem. Sometimes I like to hum the song with my friend Maggie. When I am about to start my routine, I am very excited and a little nervous but usually I am just excited. I think gymnastics is fun but it can get hard sometimes. My floor routine is complicated but once I get used to it and it becomes easier to do. Sometimes I get so nervous that I forget my floor routine. However the easiest routine is the vault routine because all you have to do is run, punch the board with your feet and then push off of the vault table. I love doing gymnastics and it is so much fun. I get nervous on the bars because of the squat on and the flyaway. Those skills are really hard to do and the squat on is hard because some people miss their feet on the bar.  The beam is hard because you have to balance when you are doing hard skills. I like when people in the crowd cheer for me. Now it is time to know who won on vault and the winner is Julia! I was so excited that I just won vault. I went to get my trophy and it was so big I could not tell you. I won because I had the best form and had very straight legs. My score was 9.04.

A Gymnastics Meet

By Makya

L[edit]One morning I jumped out of bed looking  for my purple leotard. And then I had to look for my fuzzy gymnastics shorts. Have you ever been to regionals with your team? I found everything so I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change and then I brushed my hair up into a bun and put on a black scrunchie and then my purple one so it can stay together. Then I got in the  front seat and we drove off to gymnastics. When we got there I went to my team and we started stretching. Then we went to practice our floor routine- I was up first and I got to my starting corner. I did a cartwheel, backhandspring, split jump, turn, front handspring, forward roll, split, pose, and I was finished. After, it was time for the show. I was first up on bars. I started with my kipp. I got up did a handstand turn round up twist finish and everyone clapped. I  laughed. Then we went to vault and I was up first up again. I ran as fast as I can I got up to the spring.  I jumped and did a front tuck twist and stuck it. Everyone  jumped up and clapped. In my head I said everyone loves me. I smiled, my mom smiled back  I was very happy that I landed it because I’ve been working on it all week!

Circus Cats

by: Eric



I went to the circus was when I was in France this summer. These are big cats from the circus
These huge animals are so big that one can knock a full grown man of his feet. Amazingly they choose to obey. The seem to understand what the tamer is trying to say. They keep calm and allow things to happen to their body. It is a dangerous job to tame a lion/tiger. They are fearsome creatures.

By Camille
