Term 4 Week 3

Athletics Day

Last week on Friday it was athletics day for the senior school and we had it for the whole entire day.  And if you're thinking what athletics day is well , it's where you have different sports and games you have a group and in your group you have to have the same age people as you.I was with my best friend Vikasani  because she is also 9 years old.

First my group went to other games where we played games like  Octopus and a game that was kind of like Dodge ball.  My favorite one was the Octopus game because I love playing tag and that's what the game's about.  All you've got to do is that there are 2 or three people in and there're in the middle everybody else  is standing on the sides.  Then the people who are in have to call out something and if you have that thing you've got to run to the other side and the taggers have got to try to tag you.  So if you get tagged you've got to freeze where you are and wave your arms around like an Octopus and tag people without even moving. 

Next we went to High jump with Mrs Melville.   We had to jump on this big thing that was blue and it was soft too.  After a while Mrs Melville put a line on it you had to  jump over that it was a bit scary. After this we had lunch.

After that we went to soft ball throw with Mr Wright.  We had to throw the ball as far as we could.  In that we also had to get into groups.  There were groups like 1 , 2 , 3 and 4.  AGAIN, me and Vikasani were together.  Later on we did the long jump with Mrs Walker.  In the long jump you've got you try to do the longest jump ever on the sand.  

Finally it was home time and we had to go home.  My favorite part was when  did the long jump.
