Surprising yourself in athletics

Last week our school hosted our athletics, I personally love doing athletics although I'm not very good at it. When we did our athletics it started pouring with rain, I love the rain so I didn't mind getting wet and cold. 

The girls started with sprints and long distance, I came second in both my heats and I came sixth overall. We then went off to do our field events, I was really excited for them because they all didn't involve much running. In long jump I was jumping as far as I could and on my second jump i slid and landed on my bum. I was really surprised that I got 3.35 metres on my second because I fell over. In all my other events I tried my best but didn't do anything magnificent in them.

Overall I came second in the long jump and I'm pretty happy I did. I am really excited for zones and I can't wait to get better at long jump and practice.  

What's you best event in athletics??

Saturday Netball

On Saturday my team and I had a netball game. I thought that we were not going to play very well because we had just had the Caritas challenge that night and we had like no sleep. It made it even more difficult that we were versing a very hard team because we were in the top grade. We all got there early because we had to warm up before the game and wake up. We ran up and down the court a few times and we did some drills before the game. It was really annoying that one of our players was away so I had to play the whole game centre. It was really tiring the first quarter because my legs felt like jelly and I couldn't feel them. In the first quarter we did horrible and we were losing 10 - 2. In the end of the game we lost 17 - 14. It was a really good improvement and I was really proud of my team because we were all tired. I was quite happy that I played my best and in the end we had two player of the days and I think that they deserved it.

Have you ever done something when you were really tired??

Winter Sport Term 3

This term we have been playing winter sport every Thursday. This year I wanted to try something new for sport. So I chose football, through the terms I have been getting better at the sport because at the start of Term 2 I had no clue what a right wing was. By the end of the season I have more knowledge about playing football. I have loved playing this sport, and getting to know my team a bit better. Through the past few weeks I have thought that my team is passing the ball and being more like a team.

Have you ever realised a change through the season with your team?
