Athletics day

The other day on Friday the 1st of march we at Otaki domain Otaki college had athletics day. It was fun to see everyone compete and have fun. At first we had to run, jog or walk 1500m around the domain. We had all of the house tents on the field, after the sprints we had our house chants and tortara won. Unfortunately i'm not in tortara. My favourite spots were discuss and shot put because I came third in discuss and second in shot put. We all had to dress up in our house colours and so I had to dress up in red! The way everyone dressed up was amazing everyone was all colourful it was a really fun day. Here are all of the house colours rimu (red) tortara (green) kauri (cody is how you say it) (yellow) matai (blue) At lunch there was a sausage sale on for two dollars and everyone was running around. After lunch we had sprints and relays it was fun to watch everyone compete because if they got a placing they had to don the sprints or the relays. It was fun to watch my friends do the high jump because we were all in groups for example year 7&8 girls are together and year 9&10 girls together so the whole day was run like that. It was fun doing the rugby ball throw because there was a hula hoop being held up by rope and there were three stages and you had to throw the rugby ball throw the hoop at each different stage but you only had three throws each time I only made it but to the second stage you have to step back like 1 or 2 meters at each stage. I had a great day it was fun!
