On a Sunny Friday we had Athletics and the first item the year 5 girl’s did was Sprinting. I had a buzz of excitement because I came third. I took a deep breath for the next race. I didn’t race the people who came first and second so I just cheered them on. My house colour was Tainui.
I didn’t mind who won because the people that ran are all my friends. The second item was discus but before doing that we had to wait for a funny noise so while we waited we watched the boys do High Jump. I think the first, second and third were Stevenson, Jordan and Collin. When the funny sound came we went to discus and I sucked at it. I always would come last but I was still happy and at least I tried my best.
The third item was Javelin and I sucked at that too. I would always laugh when it was my turn and I would fail. After a while the boys came to watch us because their item was finished and it was my turn and I was so nervous I didn’t want a turn anymore. Suddenly we swapped and we did Sack Racing and Tug of War. I loved sack raced but not so much of tug of war.
My team came first and second I think because we kept cheating. When it came to tug of war we always lost. I couldn’t wait to swap over. Finally we swapped and I was so happy. The item was Baseball throw. I came last in that too. I kept laughing cause we only got one turn each. I tried with my best effort on the next item which was Relays.
I was so happy that it was relays because my team was the fastest team and we always came first. Finally after that we had Shot Put and shot put is my least favourite out of all of the things we did. When it was my third turn I came third but then someone else knocked me out of place. I was full of laughter.
I didn’t want to do our next item because it was High Jump. I had a try and I tried to do scissors but I failed and I thought they were gonna laugh at me but they didn’t and while we were doing High Jump I was filled with cheer because the clouds were full with grey and it was raining so we all went inside and had a singing competition sadly girls lost.
I'm really proud of you Katareina for giving things a go at athletics this year. It was really nice to read that you didn't mind who won because the girls were your friends. That was really thoughtful. I'm glad you had fun. As long as you tried your best, that's all that matters.
