Athletics day

Last week on Friday the middles and seniors had athletics day. There were sports like, throwing, shot put, energise games, relay races, 100 metre sprints, 200 meter sprints, and 60 metre sprints.

It was a sweltering hot day. My favourite part was shot put because the balls were really heavy and I'm a good thrower. The 100 metre sprint was really hard because it was such a boiling hot day. 

For the energise games, there was an activity where we had to throw these rainbow fish balls to a partner. We also threw a ball at a bouncy net and had to try and catch it.

At the end of the athletics day we also had a syndicate relay race. There were 4 classes competing and each class has a group of ten people. They were then split in half and sent to opposite ends. Once the clapper went you had to sprint 50 meters to the other side and run around your group and hand the batten to the other person. You keep on doing this until everybody is finished.  Room 15 did really well and managed to beat Room 14 and win the senior relay race!
