🏃‍♀️Athletics Writing🏃

I woke up and took a look at my calendar to see what I was doing today it said in big bright green letters ATHLETICS DAY YAY I ran out to the kitchen and said to mum “ it's athletics day are you coming”.  She said to me yes of course darling I wouldn't miss it for the world.  Good I'm gonna go get ready.  We finally arrived at school.


We sat down on the mat and did the roll and notices then we went out to the tennis court and lined up in our order for athletics.  Athletics Day  is when we have all sorts of sports and we do them all day but we have morning tea at 10:30 am and lunch at 12:30 pm.  Me and my friends like to sit together and eat lunch and morning tea.


The 6 events we have are shot put, sprints, hurdles, long distance, long jump and high jump.  We do 2 every block so we have 2 before morning tea after morning tea and after lunch.  We also have relays but I will tell you about that later.  The first 2 events we had were high jump and shot put.  Then we had long jump and hurdles and last 2 sports we had were sprints and long distance.


We have relays at the end of athletics day and with relays we have 4 teams Takahe, Kea, Weka and Tui.  We have four battens that we run from one cone around the other cone behind the team and pass the baton to the next person.  To get into the relay teams we have a race the 6 people that got their names written down are in the relay team and the other 2 are the reserves if a person is sick they will ask a reserve if they can fill in for them.


At the end of athletics day we pack up and go back to class put our hats away and grab our bags say goodbye to the teachers and go home.
