The boy who learned to fly

Usain bolt was running late for school and he forgot his lunch… again! He speeds to school like a thunder bolt. Yes, he just makes it into class on time before the bell rings (man he is fast!). Ring ring, ring ring there goes the lunchtime bell he goes to open up his bag suddenly he clicks (darn I forgot my lunch!) gutted. He walked outside looking really upset and famished. He looks around at everyone eating delicious food. His tummy rumbles like there is an earthquake!

Just then he spots a coach eating the biggest lunch he has ever seen! The coach says to bolt, “I'm probably not going to eat this all”. The coach makes a challenge for Bolt he tells him to race the fastest student in his school for the coaches lunch. Game on!

The race begins. They speed off like flashes of light... woosh!!!!! After racing around the tree Bolt takes over and wins the race (and the incredible lunch!). His training has now begun.

Fast forward to the year 2016… The Rio Olympic Games. It's time… it’s his first run the 100 meter sprint. He was feeling the pressure of winning the most famous race.  The pressure frustrates him but the hero walks in with his mum’s words of, “Just enjoy it” ringing in his ears. He explodes from the blocks. Wooosh!!!!! And their off. Justin Gatlin is ahead by 5 meters but you know how he ends (slow!). By getting past Gatlin by 10 meters omega captures it…  The end.

  1. What a great piece of writing, Lenard! I really like how you used similes to create an image of the action for your audience! Great effort! Remember to put the WALT on your blog post too.
