Junior Sports Day

Dylan, Kieran, Holly, and Ella from Harakeke —

on Wednesday 31 October 2018 ...

  • Sports Day, by Kieran. I liked the Ninja Warrior obstacle course best. I like climbing over the big climbing frame at the start - it was the first time I’ve been right over it! Usually I go only to the top and go back down the same way. I liked the gumboot throw as well. I got to 100 on my first throw! But there was a younger person in my group who got way further than me. I hadn’t done a running race before. It was good. 
  • Sports Day, by Holly. My favourite event was the Ninja Warrior one. It actually got us climbing, and it made me face my fear of heights. The other reason I liked it was because I like doing the rope part. I do that at play times sometimes. I also like the bean bag toss because it stretched out my arms. The hardest event was the 3-legged race with Evelyn, because I twisted my ankle. 
  • Sports Day, by Ella. I liked the 3-legged race. I did it with Katka. It was fun. I was brave in the obstacle course - it was the hardest for me to do. 
  • Sports Day, by Dylan. I liked the High Jump event best. I got over it when it was really high! I liked the sack race too. I put my feet through the hole at the bottom of it, and ran, so it was much easier! The obstacle course was the hardest event as we had to climb high on the climbing frame. It was a great experience though!
