After Athletics day we all had to write about the part of the day we liked or disliked the most. Here are some of the results.
VORTEX IS SO EVIL
I REALLY hate athletics… but the thing I really,
really hate is… VORTEX. I’m rubbish at it. Here are the reasons on why I hate
it.
Number 563: I hate VORTEX because I can’t really throw
one.
Number 564: I also hate it because sometimes it
doesn’t go where you want it to go.
Number 565: they look like little sharks… and I REALLY
HATE SHARKS!!!
Number 566: VORTEXES make a strange sound, but why????
BY ME!*

The best bit of athletics was high jump because it was
nice and warm inside the hall. And I think I did a really good job at it . One
of my favourite parts of high jump was that it was the second to last course of
athletics and nearly lunchtime YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HANNAH G’S ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHT
I liked high jump the most because if you didn’t make it the first time
you would get two more turns. I also
liked how you got to have a practice before your actual turn. It was really
warm inside the hall compared to outside. Everyone was really considerate by
not laughing at someone who did not make it over. These are some of the reasons
why I enjoyed high jump!!!!!!!
**************
Long jump. Ew. Yes, I hate long jump THAT much. I’m not absolute rubbish at
it but I’m still terrible. Why do I hate it so much? Well, you’ll just have to
read on to find out.
Long jump was one of those things that I
automatically disliked, even though I had never tried it before, like a lot of
foods.
I’m bad at it. Jumping up is fine but
forwards? Not so much. And I’ve always been put off long jump for the following
reason.
Two or three years ago I walked up to the
sandpit with the rest of the girls in my year, soon to jump. “How do I jump?” I
asked Mr. Soutar, it was true. I was clueless when it came to long jump but it
was my first or second jump so can you really blame me? “Whatever’s comfortable
for you, just land on two feet.” He replied but somehow I missed out 7
important words and only took in ‘two feet’. So as I ran up to the mat I jumped
off of the blue coloured fraction with my two feet in the air and how I landed?
Face plant. The sand went everywhere! In my mouth, my clothes, shoes and hair! One
word. Disgusting. From that day on I hated long jump but once again, can you
blame me?
So those are my reasons for my hatred
towards long jump and in my opinion, they’re pretty reasonable. So I guess I’ll
just never like long jump and I mean it, NEVER.

Athletics
day;
Why
didn’t I like vortex
This is why I think the worst activity at the 2013
Athletics at MCS was vortex. Here are the 4 reasons why:
[1] Only 1 try!!! Ok, sprints only let you have
1 try but it’s easier to practice…
[2] I failed. Completely. The vortex sailed
over the line and flew over the road and… Oh. Did you believe that??? No? Well…
You’re wrong. Partly. It never flew over the road.
[3] The placing of people. Right in your way.
If everyone had been in a sensible place (e.g. along the drive) I might not
have failed…
[4] Why does anyone need to know how to throw
vortex? Why not teach everyone how to throw things that it’s worth knowing how
to throw e.g. CRT’s (Cathode Ray Tube monitors (your fat old TV or computer
screen)
And
that’s why I think vortex was the worst activity at our
2013
athletics competition.

The one I least enjoyed was
vortex.
Why? Well, first of all, we
only had ONE CHANCE. The teacher wouldn’t even let us have a practice! So I
hated that.
Next…well, I don’t consider
myself a ‘throwing’ type. Definitely. The throw I did this year was the worst
throw I’ve ever done. It was very very very very very bad…
And thirdly, the entire
thing was confusing with all the lining up, throwing, placing down the ‘little
circle’ things (To mark where you threw…I think), running to get the vortex and
all that measuring!
AND the day the staff chose
for athletics was awful! All they did was plonk us outside to sit in the cold.
Vortex isn’t very…warming, I should say.
Lastly, I could’ve slept all
that time, IT WAS SOOOO BORING!!!!!
