                                      School Athletics on Friday

Last week we had Athletics.The whole school had came Together and met on the Hard court, when the rest of Team 5 had sat down, it was handed Ms Vaafusuaga, After Ms Finished talking Mr Burt let us go to our first Rotation. For the year 7 Girls The First Rotation we went to was Long throw,or long ball, For long ball you have to throw the baseball a Distance.

You would throw the ball and then it's the next person's turn. Long ball was fun even though some of us tried our best - some just mostly failed. After we finished Long ball,Next the year 7 girls went to Dodge ball. For Dodge ball was kinda fun because we would have to vs like the Green Team,Yellow Team, Blue Team and the Red Team. Tia was the girl that was running the Dodge ball, we had to wait a while till the next Team had lost. Then it would be the next Teams turn and they would have to vs the Team that came first.

Then when the trumpet blew it was time for us to move to our next rotation. Finally when we had finished doing Dodge ball The next rotation was volley ball, when we went on cause the red team that was my Team was versing the Green Team. The red Team almost won because if the ball just came right over then we would of hitten over and we would of won the first round of volleyball. The score for we got was 5 and 4. The next team up was yellow and blue, blue played good cause they bait the yellow Team. Even though we Tried our personal best.

This Morning at 9:25,All of Team 5 had to meet in the street because there was a guest coming to talk to us about something,Then When Mr Patterson came to talk to us about what are we launching in our future, we knew what he was going to talk to us about. First we talked about What is our Aim for success, There were three letters A + I = M, it had taken quite time for all of us to figure it out, then some kids put up their hands The A stands for Aspiration. Aspiration means when your parents or your alarm wake's you up in the morning, Your just thinking about how is your day going to turn out, either is it going to be a great day for you or another boring day for you as always.

The Last one was M, M also stands for Motivation, It means when some one motivate's you,It was onto the next slide it said Aim for success! Aiming for success means Aiming for your future and upcoming things like going to college. because he came here to talk to the year 8's and the year 7's to. but he came to talk to the year 8's about college because it's their last year here in Team 5.
Be a Giver not a Taker. because if you be a giver then you are doing the right thing to the person your giving to. if you take from some one that means your not doing the right thing and your just Taking something that isn't the right thing to do. Because Mr Patterson was saying to us that he just came back from Australia and he got here and he said that his flight just got cancelled, and he said he had been waiting in line. There were about 100 people waiting in line, he said he saw a young couple and their 3 children that was under 

Athletics day

          This year on Friday the 10th of November we had our athletics day at our school field.

                                         Athletics day

Everyone from years 1 - 8 got into their year level line. The house colours were green, yellow, red and blue. We all were sitting on the count waiting for us to be called to go to our station.

First we have softball throw once we finish playing softball throw we went to play a game where you Jump over some steroids then  Zig Zag through the poles. Only one person at a time while playing this game. The winners of this game was the green  which I’m in. Next was we went of Dodge ball which was a fun game to play. If you don’t know how to play dodge ball it's where you go down and when they say go you get up and run and try get a ball on the line so that you can hit someone with it .

My Favourite thing at athletics was high jump for those that don’t know what high jump is well high jump is where there is a big mat like a bed for you too fall on once you jump over this long pole once you have made it over you will walk over to the middle. After when you have made the high jump you move on to the next level but if the pole gets higher and higher it mean it starts to get harder and harder.

My second favourite Station was doing sprints. If you haven't did sprints before well doing sprints is just like running but you're running as fast as you can in your own lines.After you have raced and you came 1st 2nd 3nd then you go to the next race with all the other fast girls . The top 3 will go to interzones.

This years Athletics was really a fun time to enjoy and have a go. I had a fantastic time at our school athletics. I am looking forward for next years athletics as it is going to be my last athletics at Pt england school.
