Athletics Day

On the 22nd of November we did the school athletics day. Each year group was split up into their own colour groups, red, green, yellow and blue. There were 10 athletics games and we had 3-4 minutes to complete each as fast as we could. The teams would compete in each game and at the end of the game a team would receive points and that would mean that the team won that specific game.

We had to test our speed through running and racing, challenge our jump distance and test our throw strength. We did all of these in athletics day. I was in the year 5 yellow team and we started with Frisbee Shoot-out. In Frisbee Shoot-out 2, 2 of the teams were on one side and the other 2 teams were on the other side. One team from each side would go first and they would have to throw some frisbees into a net. Each frisbee would be one point. We did this multiple times for 1 minute then the next team would have a go. For this game the yellow team won and scored 24 frisbees. 

Second was the Lily pad. Two of the teams took a turn each at a time and they would have to jump on the lily pads and once they met they would have to do rock paper scissors and the winner would continue jumping towards the other team on the Lily Pads. A team would get a point once the other team reached the end. This continued until the air horn was blown. Yellow year 5's won.

I enjoyed athletics day because it tested our sport skills and challenged our jumping, running and throwing skills. We do it every year
