My Report On Athletics Day

My report on Athletics Day:

Yesterday - (Monday the 12th of November 2013) We had Ngatea Primary Schools Athletics! There were six events that you had to participate in, Shot-Put, High Jump, Long Jump, 80m Sprints, 200m Sprints and 800m Sprints. All students and Ngatea Primary School are divided into one of the four houses. Each house has a color, and each student has to wear their house color on sports days: eg - Cross Country, Athletics, Swimming Sports etc. Each student that wins an event, gets given house points to put towards their house, then at the end of the day they add the points up and reveal the winning house! This years winning house went to Weka, they won most relays and also did really well in all other field events. Runners up went to Patiki, then came the other two houses. This event was not optional, which meant all students had to participate and run like chaters when it came their races. Many students that got into the top three or four, get the chance to go through to Hauraki Plains! All schools from around the Hauraki send their top runners/Athletes through to Hauraki Plains, where there's more competition. For the mean time though, Many Ngatea kids are still getting over their successes from Ngatea’s Athletics.
