Athletics Day

LI: to be athletic
Today on Friday we had Athletics Day in our school. I was in Group A which had Team Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. So the first activity we started on was the Dancing Activity. In the Dancing Activity people didn't dance much, until the boys in the groups starting dancing.

Next we did the Egg & Spoon Activity. So we had a obstacle course we had to do while we were holding an egg on a spoon. The first obstacle we had were cones. The cones were placed straight but had spaces between them. So we had to zig zag around the cones. Next we had was a chair we had to go all the way around then, the final obstacle was standing on one leg for 3 seconds. Then we had to do that all over again by starting from the end and doing it backwards. It was all the colour teams from Group A versing each other. Sadly the Red Team lost but we still had a lot of fun. But the Yellow Team won.

Our third activity we did was Long Jump. So how it worked was we had a run up, and had a cone, then we had to jump. Then we put the cone where we landed. So when I jumped I landed pretty far so I became first place. I kept the reign of being first place in the Red Team. But not far enough for my team to be first.

Our fourth activity was Ultimate Frisbee. But we didn't have a Frisbee. So we had beam bags. So we had a goal, and we had to throw as much beam bags in there possible in three minutes. So we got split. So it was Blue vs Green, and Yellow vs Red. Yellow went first so they started to throw the beam bags. They managed to get ten in three minutes. When my team which is the Red Team went we managed to get twelve in three minutes.

On our fifth activity we did Rob the Nest. It was really tiring. So in each team there was one tagger which they could tag people and freeze them there. The only way you could free them is by the team member tagging their knees, and double high five them. So no one really won because everyone did so much.

Our sixth activity was Sponge Relay. So we had another obstacle course we had to do. So first we had to jump on our sacks, and get onto our buckets. Then we get a sponge. We run and have to go under a pole, then jump over a rope and put the sponge in the water. Then we have to go back by going from the opposite side.

Our seventh activity was Discus. We had three targets. One was a cone, wicket, and a big stick. We had to throw a hula hoop and make it go through them. The cone was the closest, so it was worth a point, wicket little bit further so two points. The big stick was all the way at the end so it was worth five points.

Finally our last activity was Surf Relays. So we had a bunch of people, laying down looking at the opposite direction of their target. There were three beam bags, and there was a person who had to clap the clapper. When that person clapped we had to run, turn, and go get the beam bags. If you don't you are eliminated. Then goes down to two, then one beam bag. Each team had to verse their own teammate. Then the winner of each team verses each other

Then in the afternoon we had the relays.
