Talent Night

1On Friday night, the school gym was full of families. It was Talent Night! Everyone clapped for every act, big or small.

2Ben, a young musician, went first. He played a fast drum beat on the stage. His musical rhythm made the whole crowd tap their feet.

3Next, Rosa the magician pulled a red scarf out of her sleeve. The crowd gasped. It was a magical trick, and nobody could guess how she did it.

4Then Lena, a dancer from Grade 2, spun and leaped across the floor like a leaf in the wind. Her feet barely touched the ground.

5Last, Tomás showed the poster he had painted for the show. Everyone agreed that Tomás is a great artist. The poster had a bright, artistic design with stars and swirls.
