Athletics

Today we had Athletics for the year. Today was a bad weather and it was raining all morning. But the rain couldn't put us down so we did it in the rain. The year 7's got split into 3 groups and had to compete. The year 8's got split into 3 groups and had to compete against each other. For the year 8's the first activity was in the hall and it was Rob The Nest. We had fun and showed a lot of participation while playing this game and our group came 1st. The next activity was the sponge relay and it was a lot of fun. Some of our players splashed the others to get a lead. Out of all the fun we had, our team won and came 1st. Next game was the long jump. Now this was very tricky because the grass was slippery. All we had to do was to see who could jump the furthest. Unfortunately we lost and came 2nd place. We had to more activity's to complete and out of those 2 we came 2nd in a row. We would like to thank Mr Ogilivie for organizing all of these activities and the staff members and the parents who came down and supported this event. I want to just say a huge thank you for all the groups who showed a lot of team work and team spirit in all the activities. We would also like thank the Tamaki College students for running all the different activities.
