Balloon fun

Balloons at writing time! We have all been given balloons and instructed to fill them with water. The water squirted out of the balloon and all over Ollie. He nearly drowned! Once the balloons were tied, we set about rolling them across the floor to our partners. Annabelle and I were partners.

After that Ms Mac told us to go outside and throw our balloons to our partners

I felt quite nervous about this because what happens if the balloon doesn’t land in my hands and pops! This thought echoed through my head…

“But” said Ms Mac interrupting my thoughts “Don’t worry if it pops because you will have a popping time at the end”. I sighed no need to worry now.

“Are you ready Elise”? Questioned Annabelle. “Yes” I replied nervously.

Annabelle slowly arched back suddenly… Whack! The water swished round the balloon, flying into my face until my hand reached up and smacked the balloon back. Annabelle

caught the balloon and whacked it back to me. Time passed as we kept dropping the balloon but luckily each time it didn’t pop. Finally Ms Mac shouted “popping time!” I looked at Annabelle hopefully.

With our hands on the balloon, smashed it to the ground. Suddenly as the balloon was in the air Spencer ran across the balloons landing point and our balloon landed with a splash on Spencer’s socks and shoes!

They were soaked in icky sticky balloon pieces and swishy water!
