Athletics Day

ATHLETICS

On Wednesday 23rd of November 2016 our school did athletics. In athletics we had discus, shot put, high Jump, hundred metre sprint, and relays. My favourite one is high jump because when you make it over the bar you get another turn and the bar gets higher and higher. But when you don’t make it over the bar you just have to watch other people do the high jump.

Hundred metre sprint you have to run hundred metres and back you don’t jog you run because sprint means run.

Next one is relays. In relays you need to have two rows of four people. In each row you need four tubes. The first row has to run to the second row and the second row has to run  to the end and back to the first row so they can go back then choose first, second and third.

In discus you have to get a discus and have to move your arms across three times in the third one you release the discus and then measure the distance where the discus landed.

After that is shot put. In shot put you have to grab a heavy shot put. If you're left handed you face the left side, if you're right handed you face the right side. You bend your knees and turn four times when you throw you use all the power then throw. I don’t like shot put because it’s very hard to throw.
