“YEAH!” I cheered. Finally athletics. The day I could show off all my skills. Last week on Thursday we had our athletics day. Unfortunately, I wasn’t in a good condition. My knee was bunged up. So I couldn’t compete that well. But I tried my best. I was going to represent my Takitimu team (Yellow) well.
The sport I was looking forward to was high jump. It was my best sport. I really enjoyed it because I wanted to test my jumping skills. I missed my first jump, so I gave it my all on the second try. Even though I landed on my head, I still made it. I couldn’t believe it. After the jump, the bar went up 15cms. It was so hard. Only two boys out of 25 made it. I got out. But at least I had fun.
The other sport I was looking forward to was discus. Discus was a fun sport enjoyed by all my family. This was my second favorite sport. Because it’s not about strength, it’s about technique. I threw the discus. Currently I was in 2nd place. But a big boy, Tana, threw it far and I was 3rd place. I knew I was going to get knocked out because my friend Darius was up next. He threw the discus and it just went more far than mine. I almost placed but I didn’t.
Every year I try my best, but this year I couldn’t compete at my best but I still had fun. I can’t wait for next year.

Kia Ora Gabriel,
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you could try your best considering the circumstances you were facing.
In your stiry I could see the entusiasm you had for athletics day.
Next time pick one small idea such as the high jump or discuss and write a detailed account the chosen event.
