Weetbix tryathlon

On Wednesday I went to the Weetbix Tryathlon. It is held in south Auckland. My event was first. Ready set GO! I swam as fast as I could. During the swim everyone pushed and shoved. After I ran to my bike and put my gear on and I was of. After the bike was the run. The run felt short and easy. Before I new it I could see the finish. Gina and Frankie were waiting at the end for me. I crossed the line and my medal got awarded to me. I got given an apple and a cup of water. Then I got my photo taken and headed back to the tent. I supported the other racers until prizegiving. I didn't win anything. What a fun day. I can't wait for next year.

I jogged the first lap then sprinted the last lap. I ended up in second place. In the finals for the four hundred metre I came fourth.

Next we moved on to the one hundred metre race. I placed second and Mia came first. I was in the finals for the one hundred metre race. I came third place. We had a break and some food.

After ten minutes.we went to the field events. We did discus first. We only got 1 shot each. I didn't place anywhere. Next up was long jump. I was so close to coming a place but I didn't. Next we did shot put. I was coming third all the way to the end but then Setaita bet me so I didn't come a place. We watched the juniors for a bit while we sat down and had a rest. Before we knew it it was relays. The house teams got ready. On your marks get set GO! Blake won. Hillary, my house came second, Shepherd came third and Cowley placed fourth.

What a fun day. We jumped on the bus and headed back to school. When we got back to school We did topic. Everyone was tired but after school I had netball. I can't wait for athletics day next year.

Bike course

Yesterday and today we had a visit from Bigfoot. Bigfoot is a bike company that comes to schools to teach the year five and six students about bike safety. In our first session we didn't ride our bikes, we just learnt about safety. Today we got to ride our bikes on the tennis court. We did some bike games like red light green light, but also did a course which had skills like weaving in and out of cones. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to big foot for coming in and teaching us bike skills and bike safety. This is a photo of our group playing a balance game on our bikes.

Gymnastics tornament

Yesterday a group of year five and six students went to a gym competition. The girls apparatus were floor, vault and beam. The first apparatus we did was floor. I felt very nervous and i was so shaky. The next apparatus we did was beam. The thing that i was scared of was the mount because i didn't have much practice and thought I was going to muck up. Vault was next. Vault is the easiest apparatus as long as you keep your legs straight and jump high you're sure to be fine. After we had finished everything it was the prize-giving. The girls from our school did not get any prizes but the boys team came first and some boys came a place in the individuals. It was so much fun.

Netball tournament

On Thursday the 9th of August a group of year five and six's went to a netball tournament. I was in the year six team. We were put in the A grade. There were six games in total. We won two games and lost four. I played in defense and only subbed of once. We were out for the whole day. It was a lot of fun. I love netball.

Cross Country

On Tuesday the fifth of June Good Shepherd school had their cross country. My race was last and I placed fifth equal. At the start I had a lot of nerves but at the end I was super happy. It was a great thrill and a lot of fun. This is me running with Kara and Gina.
