Athletics Day

Just recently we had our school athletics day. At the different activities there was two older kids from Tamaki Collage to keep track of our scores. There were two different teams: Team A and Team B. In those teams were four team colors. Yellow, blue, red and green. I was on Team B Blue. The teams wore the colors of their team to represent them will playing the activities. Our day started at 11:00. Our first activity was robe the nest. The four teams were put into the corners of the hall. In the corners would be a nest (hula hoop). Scattered on the floor was a bunch of tennis balls. Our goal was to see who can get the most tennis balls in their nest before the timer ends. If there was no tennis balls left your team mates could steel them from the other teams nest. In each team there was a tagger. If you got tagged you couldn't move until one of your teams mates unstuck you. The next activity we played was long jump. Each team would take turns getting a run up and seeing how far they can jump. You would put a cone wherever your team jumped the furthest. Then we went to the sponge relay. What we had to do was: a sack race to the sponge, then roll under a pole and jump over a line. When we got to the end we dunked the sponge into the bucket full of water. Then we raced back to our colored buckets to see who could retrieve the most water. After we played shot put. We had to do a proper shot put throw and see which team could get the furthest. To help us we put a cone wherever the ball bounced not rolled. Our next activity was throwing the hula hoop on the three different objects. We did this until the end of the rotation. In the end we wrote down who got the highest score. For our last activity we had the egg and spoon race. We had to: zig zag in between the cones, go over the chair and stand on one leg for 5 seconds. Then we had to race back to the line. All teams competed to see if they could finish faster than each other. We ended the day with some sausages and races.
