On Friday 10th of November, we had an athletics day that had multiple series of events eg, discus, shotput, long jump, high jump, and all other Olympic-like sports. Everyone was split into groups, Maungarei (Mt Wellington), Taurere (Mt Taylor), Kaiahiku (Panmure basin) and Te Wai o Taiki (Tamaki River). There wasn’t really some super prize trophy up for grabs, but we could buy some ice blocks, drinks, and sausage sizzles.
I was in the house Taurere, we wore green for the day. Everyone participated in the sports before the runner relays, which the top runners that were chosen could race against others. A lot of parents came to the day to relax in the shade and support their children. My favourite sport was high jump for the day because it is always so satisfying when you jump over and make it.
