When I was 8 years old, our school had an Athletics Day. We all competed in lots of events, like High Jump, Long Jump, Vortex, Shot Put, Discus and Sprints.First, all the children lined up in their houses. It was a sunny day. Everyone was laughing and talking. When Mr K put his hand up, it went silent. Mr K said some words. After that, we marched around the field. I was feeling nervous.
After we had walked around the field, we all ran to our events.
Next, we ran over to shot put. My age group had to line up so Mrs Kerr-Bell could get our names. The shot put was round and blue. When I threw the shot put, it spun through the air. There were lines for our marks.
Finally, we walked over to vortex. The vortex was green and orange. It had a nose like a plane. When we threw the vortex, it spun in the air. The vortex went as high as the sky.
It was a fun day, but I was very tired when I got home from school that afternoon.
