 Athletics

This week on Monday we did athletics.

Us year seven girls and the year five girls did athletics together, it was super fun for many reasons. I got to see some of my old friends from last year, and I also met some of the new year fives that have come here to Rāwhiti School.

In athletics I did long distance, high Jump, sprints, shot put, discus, Middle Distance and relays. There might have been a few more but I can't remember them. I actually did quite a lot better in all of them based on what I thought how good I was gonna do.

Let’s talk about how it all went.

Alright so high jump. I thought I could have done a bit better but it started off really high, and also I was cold so that just puts me right into uh oh mode. It started at about maybe almost one metre. That's about two thirds of my height! Well maybe about that if my math was about right.

Long jump, it was amazingly fun. I also re-met some of my old friends from last year. I actually got into zones! I came fifth place! I actually tied with somebody else. I can’t remember what I got but it must have been pretty far to get into the zones.

Middle distance, I actually did so much better than I thought. I got into zones for fourth place. I was going to run with two of my friends, but they are really fast runners faster than me. Yeah they took off, so I started running with another friend and she's about my speed, so thats went pretty well. We actually got around to the first lap and we found our paste. We would run most of the track and then walk a little bit and then run again.

Then the rest of them I didn’t do the best. Well actually I couldn’t do relays, because I couldn’t get into a team.
