2010 Athletics Day.

With the sound of claps ringing in my ears Mr Burt repeating his words ''take your marks...... Get set....... Bang! The audience cheering,Go Takitimu!!!, Go Tainui!!!, Go Mataatua!!!, Go Te Arawa!!! With all of those voices cheering at once the competitors tried there hardest to finish in first second or third. The activities were 75 and 100m sprints, Shot Put, Discus, softball throw, Javelin.

Last week on Wednesday we had our Athletics Day, first we had discus first. When we had all of our turns I came out third my other two friends which were eki that came in second place and raven which came out in first place.

After all that power throws we had another throwing event named softball throw, the year six’s had to go first then it go’s year seven’s 11 year old’s after them its year seven’s 12 year old’s we go by, age group’s.
the year’s seven’s 11 year old top throwers were Feki, Raven and Junior.
The next event was shot put after all that hard throwing event’s we had Morning Tea.

Once we got to our class we started to talk about our personal highlight about our favourite event my favourite event was Discus, Discus was a fun event to particapate in, it was my first time making it over the line “YES” I screamed in my head.
But my friend raven he threw it close to the end of the senior playground AMAZING !!.

After all our activities we had our final event which was the sprint relay, first was the kids then second was the teachers and parents racers. The crowd was cheering with the strength of their voices screaming go Tainui go go go!
The funny part about the relay was Mrs George’s son when he was given the bat he started to scream all of sudden he tripped and landed on his face OUCH!!!

Once we finished our athletics day we were all exhausted then we had korero about using the crossing because some kid just crossed the road and got hit, finally we headed home.
