We had such a wonderful time at our Athletics’ Day on Wednesday.
We were so excited when the bus arrived and on arriving at Newtown Park we were put into groups. We
had some of the older children from Rms 3 and 4 in our groups too.
We watched the Year 2 children doing sprints and then we
went off to our different activities.
There were six activities:
- The Sack Race
- The Egg and Spoon Race
- Three Legged Race
- Vortex Throwing
- Underarm Throw
- Lilly Pad Leap
We spent fifteen minutes at each event and half way through
we stopped for lunch. The weather was so
beautiful and we all had sunscreen and hats on to protect us.
Here are some extracts from the stories the children wrote
the following day.
“I threw the vortex off and it went just like a rocket. Mine hit Wendy and she laughed.”
“Ready! Steady! Go! I
was in the lead. My friend and I fell
down so I didn’t win.”
“My favourite thing was the sack race because there was lots
of jumping.”
“Yeah we’re off to Athletics” We were the first to arrive at
the park. We did the sack race and on
the practice, I won but on the real sack race I lost.
As you can see from the photos we had so much fun and next
year, when we do these events again, we are sure we will be much better at them.
When we returned back to school, we were all very tired but
we had the most amazing day.
