It was the best day ever on Wednesday the 21st of October because it was athletics day. I was really excited at morning tea because after our break, we were having athletics.

While Room 7 was waiting for the bell to ring, most of the students in Room 7 played soccer. The ball was hard, round, white and black. It was fun because I was the goalie.

After our game of soccer, the bell rang loudly and we all ran to the front of 4 and 5 so that we can get into teams. Mrs. Bullot called all the students from the Kauri team first. The leaders were Miriama and Giovanni. They were really nice.

After Mrs Bullot organised us into our teams, we had a few races. First, the Marian center ran 50 meters across the field. After that, all the teams ran to the field to sit in there designated area. The 5 year old started the race and then each age followed after that. After all the races, we had the 3 legged race and then a skipping race. First it was the 3 legged race.

First it was Rata against Rimu, Rimu won. Then Kauri versed Totora and Kauri won. After that it was Kauri verse Rimu and Kauri won. Then finally it was Rata and Totora and Rata won. Tug of war was fun because it was my first time being in tug of war.
