Athletics Day

Athletics day is a day where the whole school gathers on a field, and sets up activities for all
the year levels to compete in.

To start the day off. Each house does a cheer and the judges pick which chant is the best and
that house revives some points. I was in Totara and we somehow ended up winning which
was quite a surprise. Then the events started to begin

Since I’m a year eight, I was placed with all the female year sevens and year eights and we
did some sporty activities and we first started of with a ruby toss.

All you needed to do was from a distance you needed to throw a ruby ball through a hula hoop
and if it went in, you had to throw it from a further distance. I didn’t do so well in this activity
as I only got past the first hoop.

The next activity we did was shot-put, It was quite simple really. All that you had to do was
throw a heavy ball as far as you could and of course make sure you did it properly.

I manged to throw the shot-put six point three meters in advance and I ended up winning the
shot-put event which was super awesome.

The third activity we did was long jump. High jump is where all you have to do is jump over a
bar that is of a certain height thats it.

Me, Valerie, Jett and Neli all managed to make it in the finals. In the end, I ended up beating
Neli and came first place in High jump.

Next we had long jump. All you have to do is see how far you can jump, simple. I didn’t do
so well in long jump and only made it in the top ten.

Then we had the sprints. Valleryie and Dayna were clearly the ones to beat. I ended up
coming third in my first race, but in my second race I came first which isn’t to bad.

And finally our last activity, Disscus. Now disscus was a mess. I’m sure that close to none
of us knew what we were doing but still managed to not hit someone in the face so I guess
that's an achievement.

And was athletics day in a nutshell.
