Athletics Day

Today we had athletics day which was really exciting. The year 8 were split into three groups and I was in one of the groups. As a group we cheered each other on to complete the course or obstacle. We only got up to five obstacle which they are rob the nest, sponge relay, long jump, shot put and hool a hoop throw. We came first in each obstacle epset for shot put so we came second in shot put. We had an unbelievable time but it was very unfortunate that we didn't get to finish our other obstacle because of our bad weather. It was really good too see people cheering their team mates on and showing respect to one another.

Hockey

On Thursday we had hockey, after music. What we did was practicing pushing the ball and also trapping as well as hitting. Practicing is really good for us because we get to know how to controls the ball with the stick and how to focus on the ball by not bumping into someone. After that we done pouncing the balls on the stick and count ho many we done and beat the record of your last one. Once we done that we played a game it was when you have to take someones ball out of the square and then you do that over again if there are 4 or 5 people still in then there then we call "SHARK!" shark is when someone is out and then they come back in to the square and get someone out until there is 1 player and thats the winner!!!!!!!

We would like to thank Carly for teaching us new skills.
