Yesterday we had our school Athletics. I felt so nervous when I walked into school, I was already dressed into my house colour Tainui, which was the blue team. There were some other people dressed in different colours Blue, Red, Yellow, Green. When the second bell rang we went to class and our teacher wrote age & house colour on our hand, and off we went to the courts ready to start the event.
When we got there we sat in our age groups and they were the people you were competing against. Then Mr Burt told us the things we needed to do, then he said a prayer and off we went to do our first event. Our first event was Softball Throw. Everyone was lined up ready for there turn, “Up next” said Ms Squires it was my turn. I didn’t really try hard but unless I done it. Next we went to Triple Jump.
Next we went to Triple Jump. The instructor explained the rules, we had to hop, jump then land on both feet. Who ever jumped the furthest was 1st, 2nd or 3rd. We had a little practise, we weren’t allowed a run in the beginning so it was kind of harder. When my turn was up I done the technique but I slipped, so I didn’t come anywhere. But Thora, Toreka and Chelsea were the top 3. After that we went to Shot Put, Discus, 100 Meter Sprints, High Jump then Javelin.
The one I liked the best was Discus. I was the last person up, I was so nervous when I was about to throw it. I threw it and as my hands let go of the discus it was flying up in the sky, when it landed I saw that I came first. I was so glad this was the 3rd time in a row. 2nd was Thora and 3rd was Hossanah.
At the end of the events we done the relays, the little kids were first. “Bang” the clappers went as the little kids raced up and down the field. The final racer ran down the field as fast as they could, and the winning team was Takitimu. Then it was the older kids, off they went the relay was about to be won by Matatua but suddenly Tainui beat her to the finish line. Finally it was the Parents and the Teachers verses the kids, but sadly the parents and the teachers lost the relay.
It was fun playing all of the events. At the end of the day I limped all the way back home. It was worth it unless I came something in Discus. I was so exhausted when I came back home I went straight to sleep.
