Athletics Eden Albert

Today it was the Eden Albert Athletics Day. I was in everything except shotput and long jump. I didn't come a place in anything but I never came last so that was good. I had lots of fun running and taking part in all the events and for me that is the most important thing. My favourite event was the 100m running race. I came second to last but I enjoyed it so much.

Athletics

Today it was Athletics Day at my school. The first thing we did was hop on a bus and went to the park that we were doing it at. The seniors started on running. The first event that I took part in was the 200m run, I came 2nd. The next thing I did was the 400m run, I came 1st. Another thing I did was the 100m run, I came 1st. Then the seniors were on field events (we had already done high jump at school and I came 1st). The first field event we did was discus and I came first. Then we did long jump and I came 2nd. Lastly we did shot put and I came 3rd. After all the events we did the relay races. My house came 2nd.

Bigfoot Biking

Today the whole class went out on the courts and did the Bigfoot Biking Course. There were two really nice ladies who taught us how to be safe on a bike. The first thing we learnt was to do the helmet and bike cheek. Then we got on our bikes and did all these fun activities. At the end we got some prizes and then went back to class.

Inter Schools

Yesterday it was the Catholic Schools Cross Country Championships. I was racing for the Year 6 girls race with my friend Maggie. We where in the second to last race. Waiting for our race was building up my nerves and by the time of my race I was the most nervous I have ever been. After my race I was so tired and I had a really bad stitch. Then we all went back to school and got congratulated on our achievements.

Gymnastics

Yesterday a group of year 5 and 6 students went to the gymnastics competition. We started with our floor routine which I think was my best apparatus. Then we moved on to beam and then vault. After the competition we had to sit through the prize-giving. The year 5 boys team got first place and two of the year 5 boys got 4th and 1st equal. It was such a fun day even though I did get a bit nervous and the girls team didn't get any prizes.                                                                                                                                                               

Gymnastics

A few days ago a few people went to the Gymnastic Fun Fair. I was one of the people that went. At 10:30 all the Year 5 and 6 who were participating in the fair went to get changed into our leotards. Then we all got into the cars and left for Tri-Star Gymnastics. When we got there it was very crowded so we went to wait on the benches. We waited there for a couple minutes and took some photos. Then we were called to do a warm up before the competition started. The three activities that we had to do was the vault, floor and beam. I got 8.7 on beam, 8.2 on floor and 9.2 on vault. After the competition we all got our certificates and ribbons. I got a red ribbon. The order of the ribbons from worst to best is green, blue, red and the best is gold. It was such a fun day. We all loved it.

Cross Country

Today it was cross country. At first I was so nervous and then as soon as I started running I felt happy and at peace, except for when people cheered for me. I don't like when people cheer for me because I lose the flow of my running and go faster so I lose my breath. I came 3rd and I was so proud of myself. The day turned out to be a great success.
