Athletics Day

Yesterday was Athletics day and I was very nervous about that. My mum said that she was coming so I calmed down a little bit. We had relays, sprints, 3 sticks, shot put and discus.

In the morning we just had a regular morning like maths normal stuff we do in the morning. We also had a normal morning tea, but after we had morning tea we had Athletics and I was getting butterflies in my stomach and my stomach kept getting worse and worse, so I tried not to think about Athletics. After morning tea all classes had to go on the field and sit in our classes. The first race was the egg race and I was in it, at first I thought it was the 100 metre race. We stood up and walked to the starting line. When it was our turn to run I jogged at first because it was a long race. When it came to the second rugby pole I sprinted all the way after that. Unfortunately I came third in the race. Up next was the 75 metre run, but I wasn’t in it because I didn’t want to run in it because I already ran in the 200 metre one. In that race Papiloty came first and Tua came second. We did the 100 metre run and I still came third. After that the juniors done their races and then the teachers and parents had a race. It was quite funny because my friend’s aunty fell while she was running. Later on it was lunch time and we were playing with the water. It was fun at lunch time and I hoped it never ended, but it had to, so after lunch it was the events time. We had relays and my room came first and second. After relays we had 3 sticks and I was the last girl standing together with 3 more boys. Riko was the winner and we beat room 10. Then we had shot put and the strongest people went up and competed the other class. Finally we had tug of war and my class was up to challenge room 10, and room 10 won. Then room 6 and 7 was up next and room 7 won. Finally the parents and teachers were in mixed teams, and my teachers team won. After that athletics day was over and we all went home and took a long break from all of the games we’ve played throughout the day.

We all enjoyed Athletics day and we all hope that we have it soon again.
