Athletics in the field!

The hand bell rang and the top fastest kids in our school went on the bus at 1:00pm and headed to Upper Moutere to compete in the Athletics cups. Such activities were... the junior ball relay, the senior ball relay, junoir batton relay, senior batton relay, fastest girl and the fastest in the school. Miss Aldridge was talking to us about since we are a Christian School we should show our behavior in the way we act. As we headed to the field they people holding the Athletics day talk to us and then asked us to come to the front of the building to show our respects to those who went to the war and lost their lifes to free our country and also to sing the National Anthem. Children from diffrent schools went and put flowers around a statue and then stepped back and for a couple of secounds in silence bowing their head to remember them before going back into the crowd. After the tNational Anthem we walked back to the field and the sports began. First up was the junior ball relay and we came 3rd in that, then there was the senior ball relay and we also came 3rd in that. Couple of minutes later the junior ball relay was on and they did really good coming 4th as for the senior batton relay we came 3rd again!!
Fastest girl was Risi coming a whopping 4th place! Go Risi! And the for the fastest in the school was Fletcher who ran really well and came 3rd!!
Over all we came 3rd in the whole thing!!
On the way back Miss Aldridge told us how well we all did. Nexts year I'm hoping to do the whole Athletics not just the ones for the cups.
