A Jump Jam story by Caitlin

In the morning there was a Jump Jam competition. There were ten teams performing in our age group.  Year 1-4 team was called The Waimataitai Chocca’s.  The team waited outside the foyer.  We had a dressing room like in the movies.  The boys had their hair spiked up and the girls had their hair in pig tails.  I was nervous when we were half way through the song.  The Waimataitai Chocca’s won the competition.  It was exciting.  It was fun winning.  Then we came back to school.
