My Accident Story

Fractured

February 2019 

By Henry 

I am learning to entertain my audience through a recount.

Have you ever fractured something? I have, this is the story of when first fractured something. My bum bone, no I’m serious your bum bone is called your Coccyx. This pain is excruciating it hurt for over 2 weeks. This happened at Potters Park when I was nine years old. I was mostly looking for trouble back then, especially when my little sister was around. She was painful and easily annoying, her reactions were priceless.

Piling in the car, me and my sister squabbled as we made the journey to Potter’s Park at 50 kilometres an hour. Harriet was being both dancer and prancer in the car because she was having a mini play date with her friend Elizabeth Harkison Merith at Potter’s Park. My mum was focusing on only one thing at this moment, getting a parking space. Apparently that is one of the most annoying things at 3:30pm on a summer's afternoon. Mum turned a corner and found a parking space, “Yay congratulations mum you found a parking space.”

My sister ran to enjoy her moment with best friend. Just then I knew what I was going to do at the waterpark - chase my sister and her friend. I truly do love annoying my sister. I slipped into my swimming togs thinking of how mischievous I was going to be. Vroom, vroom, I ran and chased my sister as fast as a Wacky Road Racer through the park. She screamed, I laughed, my sister’s friend warned her many times that I was inches behind them. Grab! My sister screamed, “Let go of me Henry!” After I let her go, my sister went to tell me off while the sudden feeling of guilt started to pile up on me. I slid off down the grass turf. I was about to head back after them when suddenly the pain seared through my body. I whimpered because it felt like somebody had just set my bum on fire, so I ran to my mum. She didn’t realise I was in pain so she told me off instead. I was desperate to explain, I told her that I slid down the grass turf hill and slid on my coccyx (yes, bum) over a climbing grip.

Ouch, every time I sat down my bum hurts, still can hurt till this day today. The only thing I could do was rest. My bum hurt every time I tried to move same as it is now . “This was a very bad week” I said to my mum. “I know,” she said.

Ash Wednesday

Today was Ash Wednesday. We went to church and sang some hymns, got the ashes on our foreheads, sung happy birthday to a little girl starting school on her birthday! We then went up and got a blessing.
We did make an attempt to keep our ashes on our foreheads, but that was a fail due to swimming and itching it off. We had a good day and hope everyone else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, alms giving and helping others. else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, alms giving and helping others.

Swimming sports

Room 6 had a wonderful day at swimming sports. When we all went to the turf we split up into our houses. Thank you Sharyn and parents for helping us with the non competitive swimming and competitive. Also thank you parents for coming along and supporting your children. Good shepherd students thank the teachers very warmly, as every year as they set up and prepare this event for us. I’m sure that every student enjoyed the event. I saw everyone compete with my own eyes and they all did well. The people who lost don’t have to be sad because they should be grateful they got a swim in the warm weather also because there’s always time and effort to improve.

Shrove Tuesday

Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday. We all had a great day in room 6. The festivities started with the burning of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.

Later on during Religious Education we learnt more about Shrove Tuesday and Lent. People used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. We were even able to enjoy some pancakes of our own. We all thought it was a great start to lent and we are looking forward to the lenten season as we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are the season of Lent and it is a time of preparation.
