Today, my school held an Independence Day celebration event. It welcomed students from every grade to participate in many fun games, such as tug of war, krupuk race, sack race, tandem race, and the marble in spoon race. Many students participated, which made all the games so exciting.

In the beginning, I participated in the marble-in-spoon race. It was a very tight game between me and Galang. I almost beat him at the beginning of the race, but he was so fast and steady. He could even run with it. He came first and I came second. It was hard to beat Galang in this game.

The next game was a tug of war, sack race, and tandem race. All the games were held at the same time. I saw Andre participate in the sack race. At first, he led the race, but suddenly he fell in the middle of the race. But finally, he came second. It was so sad that he couldn’t finish first. Meanwhile, Pipit participated in a tandem race with our friends. Her team came third. It was not too bad.

The last game was the krupuk race. Once again I met Galang in the final. The fun part was I finished first and he finished after me. I finished my krupuk with three or four bites.

It was a joyful day at my school. Everyone put a smile on their faces. I was delighted. At the end of the event, my class was announced as the grand champion of the whole competition.

a)

Independence Day celebration in Indonesia.

b)

A School Parade

Hi, readers. How did you celebrate your Independence Day? I celebrated it by joining a school parade. We had so much fun before and during the parade. Let me tell you how it went.

In the beginning, we prepared our costumes. Every class had to choose one student to dress as an Indonesian hero. I was chosen as the class representative. I dressed as Cut Nyak Dien. Other students wore red and white clothes.

After I dressed up, I went around the school with all the students. During the parade, we sang the “Hari Merdeka” song. There was a marching band following us. Suddenly, it started to rain. We ran back to our classroom.

Finally, after the rain stopped, we gathered back at the schoolyard. The headmaster announced the winner of the best costume. A student from the other class won. He dressed up as Tuanku Imam Bonjol.

The school parade was fun and made us remember our national heroes. I was so proud. I could not wait to join this again next year.

b)

c)
