Field day

At the school, I go to, yesterday was Field Day. I love Field Day, and in this post, I'll tell you about it.
Field Day takes place in a park It is split up into two parts: morning and afternoon. Half the kids come in the morning, and the other half comes in the afternoon. (I think) Each kid is assigned a team, and each team generally has one to three co-captains that are fifth-graders. A team also has people from each grade level.
For the afternoon one, after eating lunch, we get into our teams, and play games led by parent volunteers and teachers. After that, it's time for my favorite part: the teacher competition. All the kids sit on the big hill with their classes, and watch. The first event is the three-legged race, where the teachers compete with the fifth-graders. Next up is the water balloon toss. And finally, my favoritevevent: the tug-of-war. Then it's time to go back to class for about 15 minutes, and then school's out.
Well, now you know about Field Day.

Nellie

Big news with Nellie, too! She's actually working for Mr. McIntyre, and Grace planted her with Dan and Amy! Grace had tracked her, because she had part of a Clue, and paid for her flying lessons. Later, Mr. McIntyre hired her for something to do with the Madrigals. But I'll tell you about that in my next entry. Then, Grace made Aunt Beatrice hire Nellie, and said to her that if she fired her, she wouldn't get any inheritence from her. Unbelivable!

The Man in Black

Well, this is my first post. Today, I'm going to talk about the man in black from Book 9 of The 39 Clues. In the book, it is revealed that he is actually Fiske Cahill, Grace's brother. When he was young, he ran away, and kept in touch only with Grace. Then, in Book 9, he revealed himself to Dan and Amy. Also, like Amy is like Grace, Dan is like Fiske.
