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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
