Athletics Day- Hannah

Athletics Day

On Tuesday it was Athletics day at Mount Smart. The senior side kids were the ones that joined in. everyone was wearing mufti clothes but they had to be in your house colours.

The year 4 girls’ first exciting event was the 400 m race around the whole entire track. Some people even pushed and shoved because they were so extremely desperate to win. After our race was finished it was the boys’ turn. We waited till they had started and then we ran across the track to get some more food and also some drink.

Secondly we had a race called the 60 m sprint. Mr Ratcliffe called everyone into their heats and then Mr Topp clapped this loud thing that you clap together and it does the job to say “GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” We sprinted as fast as we could like spotty leaping leopards running to catch prey.

Finally we swapped over. The years 5 and 6 went off the field and onto the track and the years 3 and 4 went off the track to the field. I was so confused where to go so I just followed all the other year 4 girls and realised that we were doing Standing Long jump first. I didn’t get too far but I was pretty happy about it.

I found that my most favourite on the field was javelin. I liked every single one on the track though. When we hopped back onto the bus to go back to school, I was thinking of how I found Athletics day. I said to myself…………… IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
