Yesterday the whole school went down to Anzac Park at 1:00 pm to compete in the Twilight Athletics that we do every year. First we did the briefing and ground rules, and then at 2:00 pm we went to our first rotation. Each rotation goes for half an hour and everyone finishes at 6:00 pm. This year we were separated into year groups like Year 7 Girls and Year 7 Boys. I was in the Year 7 Girls group and our first rotation was rest. We all lazied around for a while and then at 2:30 pm we went to our 2nd rotation which was Discus. Discus is when you throw a flat round thing that rests on your fingers when you prepare to throw. It is measured in metres and centimetres. My best throw was 8.99 m.
After Discus I headed off to the Shot put to help out as I wasn't able to do anything but Discus and Shot put because of a sprained toe. But anyway I helped out at Shot put with Miss Hines and Mrs Clark until it was my group's go again. When I did my Shot put throw I was 15 cm off the qualifying mark, which means I got 4.85m as my best throw.
In the end Miss Hines dropped me home. I can't wait for next year cause hopefully I won't have sprained toe!
Hi Kyra ,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you explain what a discus was because at first I thought it was a spelling error ,
I really want to experience going to this twilight athletics ,
I think it's best if you could make more paragraphs to each idea so that the person who reads your story doesn't get mixed up ,
Other than that good work
