At 8.40am, we set off on the
bus to Hansen’s Park to compete in the SE Zones Athletics Competition. Once we
arrived at the park, we got out of the bus and we went to our sitting spot. We
lay out the tarpaulin and put out our flag so we knew where our school was stationed.
There was a man who told us about where everything was, and when the
events were going to happen. The girls did the field
events in the morning while the boys did in the afternoon. When all the events
were over,we got back on the bus and came back to school. We all had a great
time competing.

I went to 4 events - shot put, discus, high jump and relay.
The first event I went to was the relay. I was the first one to run then it was
Leo, Lingas and Jack. We came 3rd in the relay. The next event was
the shot put and discus. Jack swain came with me. In the shot put I had came
4th and Jack came 15th. Later we moved onto discus. I think I had came
4th or 5th in discus. As soon as I finished my discus Jack
went back and I moved onto high jump with my friend Lingas. When all of it was
finished we got l our gear to return home.
I did not make it to
Canterbury finals but my brother and my cousin did. One day I hope that I will
come first or second in an event.

My favourite activity was discus. The first throw was really really bad. I warmed up
and threw at the side netting. I was embarrassed but it was all okay. My second
throw wasn’t that long. I might have come last but I still enjoyed it. By Finn
My best sport at zones was my 80 meter sprint because I tried
my best even though I didn’t win. My friends were cheering for me which
encouraged me to run harder. I had a great time and I am very proud of myself
for trying. By Lilly

My first event was a 60 metre sprint. I ran and I came second
in the heats. When I did the final sprint, Jack and I got a tie at third to
last. I also did high jump and long jump. We got third place in the relay. I
had a great time competing with other children and going against some of my
friends. I hope I make it to the zones next year so I get another chance at the
Canterbury champs.

My
favourite activity was the 1200 meter run where I came 5th.My goal
next year is to compete in high jump and to do better in long jump.In the
relays we came 3rd.At the end of the day we were all tired and
puffed but we all had so much fun.

My best event was 80m sprint. All my friends were cheering
for me to win which made nervous. I came fourth out of seven people. A kid from
Sumner school won. It was the first time I went to the zones and it was an awesome
experience.
My events were long jump, shot put and relay. My
best event was long jump because I am really good at it. All the jumpers there
were really good and were positive towards each other. I did not go to the Centrals
but I am still proud of myself.
My favourite
events was shot put and 80 metre sprint.In shot put I came 2# place but in
the sprint I came 4# place but I tried my best . It was my lucky day because
I’m in the Canterbury for shot-put.
