Athletics Day

                                                                         Athletics Day
On Tuesday the 19th of November, it was athletics day. At the start of the day we prepared everything like the poles etc, after the bell rang we went to our classes and did the roll, the teachers also put our age on our hand, then we went outside and sat on the ground in a line on the court in our age group. I was 9 years old so I went in the 9 year old group with my friends, first we did long jump. We made two lines one for the year 4's and one for the year 5's, after the last year 4 went the year 5's carried on I was quite good at it so I came 4th at the end, the next one was like a challenge thing Ms Paterson gave one of us a stopwatch and go in groups of 4 then she told us to go on a equipment on the field we did the blue thing with two ropes you had to climb on. I went first the first time I took 6 seconds I put my feet on the blue thing and held the rope and when I got to the top I jumped of every one did the same thing as well. On my second round I took 4 seconds I was so surprised. After when the bell rang to move places we went to the sprints it was very tiring we had semi finals and finals, 15 minutes after that we moved to the cheering station, we cheered very hard and at the end when they were getting their place cards I said good job to them and clapped. The next one was all the way to the 200 meter run, after we all did the 200 meter run Mrs McLellan said who wanted to do the 400 meter run, I was to tired so I didn't do it but I cheered. Next was the Shot-Put, then we did Tennis. My buddy was Mahan he wasn't that good at playing Tennis so I had to get the ball all the time because he kept missing. Next was the one where you had 4 pads and you had to cross the lake and Miss Daly made it even harder she drew bacteria and rubbish so If you touch it you have to go back to the start. Lunch time was next we just played around the field, and saw Apollo with a lizard in his hands, then when lunch time finished we did the relays we went into our house groups and the teachers told us who is going to do the run. It was very long we all cheered for the runners. After the relay the bell went and we went home telling our parents what happens. Also I forgot to say something we also did high jump before the relays.


bye!
