Athletics

Go TK,

Athletics is probably one of my favourite times in my school years and this year was probably the best.

My house is Te Kanawa. At the start of the day my house got split into two groups, TK girls and TK boys. As I was in TK boys my first activity was long jump. I didn't get a placing but it was really fun. My second activity was the 200m run.  Unfortunately, I couldn't participate in that activity because of my knee injury from gymnastics the night before. The next activity for TK boys was shot-put, as again I didn't get a placing because shot-put isn't really my sport but it was a really great experience.

My next activity was the vortex throw and 100m run. I really enjoyed the vortex throw and the running because even though I didn't get into the competing run I still got to run with my friends. The next place I went to wasn't an activity because it was the 'rest and have a break' area.

After about 30 minutes my group got told to go to the next activity which was my last activity before the relays. It was high jump, I was in the top high jump team but I only got 5th because my class only got one practice that whole week because the high jump was used by other classes. After the whole rotations went round and all the houses finished, the whole school came together and watched the house relay group run. I wasn't in the relay but I was proud to be in Te Kanawa because they won.

Thanks for reading my athletics report, I had such a fun time with my class mates and my friends.

George.
