After morning tea my classmates and I went to get ready for Athletics Day practice with Coach Bart. Our school’s Athletics Day will be on 18 November and we are all excited about it.
First, we went inside a square of cones to practice sprinting. We sprinted on our heels, toes, high and low. We ran like a robot and crouched. But the very hard thing was sprinting on our heels.
Then he taught us how to play Sheepdog. In this game, we had to run around the square. There were two sheepdogs and the rest of the class were sheep and they had to run away to avoid getting tagged on the hip with a noodle.
After that we were formed into four groups then we practiced the running race. “On your marks, get set, go!” We ran our fastest to the concrete wall then we walked back to the blue cones. We all had a few turns doing it then we took a break and had a sip of water because we all felt hot and thirsty. Later on, we had to do it again and the person behind us had to try and tag us.
Next, Coach Bart threw foam pigs to us to see how tall we are then we jumped over the foam pigs I passed mine 5 or 4 times it was very easy but I fell over 2 times we had to jump past it 6 times.
Around 12 o’clock we were very tired and hot. But coach Bart was very good at teaching us to how to get prepared for athletics day. It was very fun. Then we had to go back to class and write this blog.
