Fun Games At School.

When I was  nine years old, our school had an Athletics Day. We all competed in lots of events, like High Jump, Long Jump, Vortex, Shot Put, Discus and Sprints. 
After we did discus, we went to vortex. We had to throw the green vortex as far as we could. As it slowed down, it dropped to the damp grass. Bump! It made a little dent in the ground. Some children ran up and threw it but other children just stood at a white line and threw it from the line. The vortex was a little bit wet because it had been in the damp grass. I came 5th. I was happy that I got 5th.


Next, we went to high jump. When we started jumping, we ran up to the bar and cleared it, but the bar climbed higher and higher, and it got harder to jump over. Some children cleared it and others didn’t. We had to do a scissors kick to bounce over it. The thin white plastic pole over the top of the blue mat was as thin as a snake. I came 1st. I felt happy that I came first.

Finally, we went to sprints. We waited at the starting line for Mr Emms to start the 80 metres. He said, “Take your marks get set,” and the gun loudly went off. We sprinted as fast as lightning and we crossed the finish line. I came first in that race. The next race was the 100 metres. Mr Emms started us again. ”Take your mark, get set,” and the gun went off. I was in front. I could see the finish line so I sprinted to it on the long thin track and crossed first. I won that race as well. The last race was the 200 metres. Mr Emms started our last race. "Take your marks, get set,” and the gun went off again. We sprinted  around the track. We sprinted on the last bit of the track and we all crossed the finish line. Yay! I won all the sprints. I am so proud of myself.
It was a fun day, but I was very tired when I got home from school that afternoon.
