Hikianalia is the best house colour because we win every year. Our name was Takitimu but we changed it to the boat Hikianalia. Takitimu is the colour yellow. Yellow is the colour of the sun. The Sun is Strong and Hot to blow your face up. Our house colour was the best house colour than all the other house colours. We won every year and we got the best people to win.
On Friday the 13th November 2015 was Athletics Day. I rushed to School and got changed into my Yellow T-Shirt and Black Shorts. I was so excited cause I knew we were going to win again like every other year. I ran into the classroom and put clothes away and we left to the courts.
I was in the Year 5 boys. We went to go do relays. We walked down to the bottom field. At the bottom field were Obstacle Courses and heaps of other stuff. When we went to do relays we had these batons to hold. We had to run to the middle and pass it to that person then that person has to pass it to the person at the end and it keeps on going. We lined up in 5 lines. Then we started. I was at the back of the line waiting for my turn. 3 minutes later it was my turn. I was so nervous I but could do it. My friend Andrew passed me the baton. I ran as fast as I could to the middle. I passed it to Jonathan and Jonathan ran to Tom at the end. Tom ran to me and passed it. Then i ran back to the start and passed it to my Friend Simon. I was so tired after that. We kept on playing until Mr Jacobsen made this noise with the siren. It was really Fun. We got 50 points. All the other teams got 40,30,20 and 10 points.
It was time to change over. We walked up the bottom field to the top field. We were going to do Running. I liked Running. I saw 8 straight lines on the side of the field. The first 8 boys went to go line up then we lined up behind them. Mr Burt had this really big wooden thing. He said On your mark, get set and Go.
The first 8 boys ran really fast until they got to the end. I was really scared i was going to trip over or something. Then i saw my mum smiling at me. I wasn’t scared anymore i was now getting excited. Then Mr Burt said On your mark,get set, GO and clapped the wooden thing together. I sprinted as fast as i could. My mum was cheering on the side i ran and ran. I came 2nd to last but my mum was still proud of me. Then i ran again after the last 8 boys. I ran again as fast as i could. I 6th or 7th i think and my mum hugged me. I was so proud of myself even though i never came 1st,2nd or 3rd.
Then it was time to go home. My uncle and aunty came to watch as well. I was proud of my sisters too. They all came 1st in their races. I loved Athletics Day.

ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing recount - I really enjoyed reading it. I wasn't going to comment on your post, but I thought that it was such an amazing piece of writing that I have too. I liked how you had so much detail in your writing about what was happening. Even though I am a long way away, because I live in another part of New Zealand I was able to imagine exactly what was happening with Athletics Day because of your writing and your detail. It was fantastic and I will share it with my class of students a little later today. I really enjoyed the bit when you wrote about seeing your Mum watching you race and how that encouraged you. I thought that she must have been very proud how you participated. I have one big questions though did Hikianalia win the Athletics? You said at the start of your recount that they were going to because they won every time and then you didn't mention it at the end? Did that mean that someone else won?
