Richmond Street Parade

 

Boom! Boom! Boom! We could hear motorbikes driving past. Clickety clack, clickety clack, we could hear feet walking past. Oh no, it struck us. We were RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARADE!!! Suddenly I heard my feet walking for some reason and then boom. I felt a flag in my hand and then I started yelling “USA, all the way”. Then it actually struck us. I was really really in a parade. I felt a smile on my face. Yay, I was in a parade. We walked down Queen St, Richmond, New Zealand and then into Sundial Square. After that my class finished and we all went back to school.

On Monday we did a parade and we saw a brass tuba and a leader in the front of the band. We saw two army trucks and lots of motorbikes. We saw lots of USA flags and we chanted “USA, all the way”. We had fun in the Queen St parade.

Yay, yay, hooray. That’s the sound that I heard on Monday. Here I was at Sundial Sq in my blue shirt just about to go on Queen St for the parade. When we got there lots of people were on the side of the road cheering.  We shouted out “USA all the way”. Once we got to the end there was a band playing. We got our pictures taken with our flags in the air.

The Queen St audience cheered for us at the Support USA Parade. At school my class made colourful red, blue and white USA flags. While the parade was happening my class said “USA, all the way”. There were other schools too. There were vehicles behind the schools. Logan R had his face painted. My whole school walked down the middle of Queen St. When the parade was finished there was a brass band.
