Athletics Day
Today at 9:15 the whole school did athletics.
The first one room 9 did was shot put. We had to go in two lines, boys and girls so it can be equal groups.
Moving on to the next activity,we went to throwing discus. Again we had to go in two lines boys and girls. I came first out out of the girls and out of the boys LJ and Kue’a came first.
How to throw a discus
So you hold a discus bend your knees and with your left hand you move forwards and backwards, and with your right hand you put it straight. You count up to four and on that fourth count you throw it.
The next activity was 100 metre sprint with Mrs Stone who is in room 7 with Mrs Tofa’s class. We had to sprint to her and sprint back. It was tiring because we had to go two times.
After that we had to go to Miss Kay to do relays. We had to go in partners so when we face each other the opposite way out partner can run to us and we can run all the way to the big tree. We had to do practise and then for real. It was fun, exhausting and kind of boring.
The last activity was high jump. When I looked far away it looked really high but when room 9 came closer it was really low. The girls had to go first and we were backing away and scared. So a teacher told Ngakiri to come and she went. Some of them touched the bar and some of the girls didn’t. It was really really fun and not exhausting, I had to say high jump was my favourite because we had a little play around and room 9 got to laugh and smile.
