Athletics Day

Red, Yellow, Green and blue were the four main colours worn by students. Te Arawa, Takitimu, Mataatua and tainui are the names of the house colours. “It’s finally athletics day”, I said to myself.

As I walked in the 12 year old line I was nervous. The first sport we played was the softball throw. I picked up the ball and threw my hardest, it did go far but not as far as Helen’s throw. She came first in the softball throw for the 12 year old year 7 girls.

There were heaps of sports to play such as discus, shot put, high jump, softball throw and a few more. But there was one that was new to us. To me Javelin was hard. I didn’t know how to flick the javelin. When I threw the javelin it wasn’t a good throw.

This year is the first time in Pt England school to have year 7 athletics. To us it felt normal. We just had to be with the year 6 girls in three groups. At the end of all the sports the people that were the final runners raced. It was cool seeing their facials. After they finished, the fast runners for each house ran in the relays. Takitimu came first and Tainui came second.

The relays had finished and Mr Burt told everyone to sit in the middle of the field. After he said a little, he dismissed each class one by one. At the end of the day everyone was tired and exhausted. of the house colours. “It’s finally athletics day”, I said to myself.
