I am proud of my Run, Jump, Throw because I came up with those ideas really quick. We had to fill in the gaps like skills, attitudes, and questions for the people in athletics. My favourite question was
What goes through their mind when they stand on the podium? Because I DO wonder what goes through there mind when they stand on the podium. (Probably REALLY excited.) But how would I know? I'm not them.

As I turn around I see the most amazing thing.It’s so magical.So colorful - it looks like a rainbow.It’s outstanding. I've never seen anything like it .I’ve only seen monarch butterflies before. So delicate. It could almost blend in with the flower it’s on. It’s like being on a colorful island. It’s the most amazing scene.The  rainbow butterfly clutching onto the flower is such a beautiful sight.It has the most magnificent colors. In the back of the scene there is green grass in a blurry distance. A sunny, peaceful, relaxing space. Could this get more colorful? It looks like a rainbow. Well blended. Red,orange,yellow,green,light blue,dark blue,purple,pink,fuchsia,

lavender. It's so precious.
