Eating compition

Write to recount that time. 

We are going to do an experiment. The teachers did not tell us what we were going to do.

Were going to have a eating competition today. My literacy class is heading outside to start. When we all got outside I was scared because I might look like a scary clown or an ugly one. Our teacher set up the plats and put the food on. When it was the first round I was so nervous that she might pick me but she didn't.

This is what you do. So you have to have a partner  so your partner is your hands and I have to put my hands at the back of me. So that my hands is my partners hands. Your partner controls you and feeds you. It is just like a robot controlling you.

On the second round it was my turn with my partner. When is was our turn I was shaking because I think maybe I will look like a clown and I was scared. We had to eat a quarter of a weet-bix with whip cream on top the cream was normal and once we finished eating it we had to eat an apple. When we started she put the weet-bix in my mouth with whip cream. It was yum to me but the others didn't. like it that much. She gave me the apple next to eat . I was rushing to win but I didn't.

On the last round of eating it was my turn to feed my partner. First I gave her the weet-bix with whip cream on then I gave her the apple to eat. When I was feeding it to her I shaved it in her mouth and then that's when she used her hands to eat. She did not like it because when her mouth was full I was still shaving the apple in her mouth to win. I think we won because she ate the most of the apple and because our teacher didn't chose who won that round.

My favorite part was eating it. I like that bit because I liked the weet-bix and the whip cream. The thing that I don't like is the apple.
