Athletics Day 2023

On Monday it was senior athletics day for Year 4-8. It was quite cloudy, overcast, humid and warm, it was nice to do everything in this type of weather, last time we had to do it in the rain. I couldn’t wait to start athletics day because it is fun, challenging and it’s encouraging to get yourself out there to compete.

My favourite activity I did was middle distance, it was a 1km distance and we had to go around the school a certain way, we had to get past the finish line in under 3 mins 35 secs to be able to qualify for zones. I came 1st place for middle distance and have qualified for zones.

The next activity I did was sprints, I had to race 5 people in one race and try to sprint for the finish, there is a certain amount of people in one race and the top 2 that finish go off to the finals, there is 3 groups of 5 so I got 2nd in my race so I went off to the finals at the end of the day.

My favourite activity was high jump. We had to make it over 1.10m there was more than 3 of us that made it over 1.10 metres so we had to keep going higher, the next height was 1.15m and when 4 of us made it past so we had to go higher, it got to the point it was too high so we had to decrease it but we made it 1.17m instead. Luckily I made it and I am now going to zones.

At the end of the day was sprint finals and relay races. I had to do my sprint finals and had to race 6 other people that were accepted into the finals, I had to run quite fast but didn’t make it into zones.

The last thing we had to do was the relay races, I would’ve done it but there wasn’t that many people that wanted to do it in my year group so I couldn’t of but that’s alright.

I think it was a successful day for myself, my friends and for everyone.

Writing Prompt

What do I like to do when I’m not at school?

I like to play video games, eat snacks, laze around and watch movies. I like to be chilled out sometimes but I then go out and about from time to time when I’m feeling energetic. I like running around or kicking a ball outside, I take my dog out on walks and sometimes go for a run with her. Over all I just like being active.

What is the best thing on the playground?

I think the playground called Hiki Hiki is my favourite playground because it has 2 net swings, it has a rotating climber, it has a big slide, a small slide, a flying fox and monkey bars. My favourites are the net swings and the rotating climber.

What would I like to invent?

I would like to invent a portable teleportation machine that can teleport you to school. It can get you to work on time, makes it that you don’t have to rush. It could be very handy if you were playing hide and seek or if you were trying to get out of a situation you don’t want to handle. I will be able to have a chill morning before going to school because than I can just do everything quickly and then teleport my way to school, It would be handy in man hunt too.

 

Instructions

Today in circle time we learnt instructions and how we will need them in life, and how we have to know how to handle them. Here are some examples of instructions:

  • “Cream the butter & the sugar until it’s light & fluffy,”
  • “Milk the teas,”
  • “Cut the apples.”

We need to learn how to handle instructions hence we are going to camp soon, we will need to respond well and react well to the instructions given because if we don’t listen or don’t do the instructions properly, we might get ourselves into danger or anything like that.

Maths

Today in Maths I did some probability tasks, they were quite easy hence I have been practising, and they were really fun to accomplish.

                                                 

This one was that we had to put a certain                                                       This one was that we had to colour the

amount of lollies into this bag by reading the                                                 boxes randomly however we want and

fractions on the side.                                                                                            then we have to write them in fractions

and then write them into percentages.

 

Anxiety

Anxiety, what would I do to manage anxiety?

I would have some deep breaths and I would have to try and manage my self on High Medium & Low you would wanna be on Medium because it gives you the right amount of everything. I would try not to over think it, and everyone has a little child in them that makes them a bit nervous and scared of things from time to time.

Every now and then some hiccups happen like when you get called out to come get an award in front of a big crowd or something like that, you can get scared and nervous but just take some deep breaths and don’t over think it.
