The math Olympiad.

On Thursday our whole class went to maths olympiad.  There was two groups and four people in each group.  I was so excited when we first got there.  When we got there we had to wait for the other groups.  When the other other groups got there Mrs Hodge went through the rules and then we began. We went and got our first question then Mrs Melville started the timer. When we got up to 95 we got up to 100. We were so relieved that we won. Mrs Melville stopped the time and handed out the certificate then we went to class and finish our work.
