Camp Concert Recount 2013

“Woo hoo!” I said as it was the time for the amazing camp concert, I had waited all week to show off with my awesome dance.                                          

As I watched the other groups, my excitement grew, it was nearly my time and I couldn’t wait

Mr Johnston and Ms Kirkpatrick watched eagerly as if they were just waiting for us to do our cool dance moves. I knew it was going to be one of the best in show.

They called out my group name and I walked up, slipped on my jacket and did the dance. It was great.

As soon as I knew it, my dance was over and the whole room was clapping and cheering for us. We were the best.

Even the teacher came up and thanked me, for our great skills. I enjoyed my night as I sat down with a smile on my face.

This was my camp concert it was fun.
