Athletics

Here at Paihia School we have been practising athletics for the athletics day at the Bledisloe Domain. The activities that we have been practising were shot put, high jump, long jump, discus and relays. I personally enjoy athletics and sports. My favourite sport is Netball. We divided into five groups that we practise with for athletics. Every Wednesday and Friday we go out to the field and train with our groups. We have a roster that has all the activities we are doing and what groups are doing what. We rotate every Wednesday and Friday so all of the groups get to experience all of the activities. I learnt the proper way to position yourself when you are doing shot put. When you are doing shot put you have to stand sideways with your right leg at the back of your left leg so that you have balance. When you are pushing the ball you have to make sure the ball is slightly behind your ear. I am really excited for athletics day.
