I liked it because I like sports. I liked it because I like high jump and long jump and 60m sprints. I got to skip school even though I like school. I liked to go to the Zones because I have never gone to Zones. Even though I didn't get in the zones, I still had so much fun. I didn't mind if I did or didn’t get in the zones because I like sport and like people say it doesn't matter if you do or don’t get in, it's just for fun.

I like sports because I think sports are all about having fun. I got to verse my friends and other people that like sports too! Some of my friends were in the zones. Their names were Roma, Megan, Hayley,Ester and some others. I liked to cheer on my friends when we did zones and they cheered on me. I am glad that some of my friends got into the canterburys. I am a bit sad that I didn't get in but happy at the same time.

I did most of my training on Sunday and Monday but once on Thursday.
