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.

What is the Student Volunteer Army And What Are Some Ideas That My Class Could Do For The Community

Hi there! This blog post is about the SVA.

During classes we have been learning about the Student Volunteer Army or the SVA for short.

The SVA is a group of students who voluntarily do things to better their the community like,

Raising a bake sale and donating the money to a charity.

Here's some things I would absolutely love to do!

• Beach Clean Up
• Plants For A Retirement Home
• Help Church Groups

I quite like the idea of doings these thing but these are just my thoughts
and I’d love to hear yours.
