Our first beep test!

Olivia Bates —

Room 5 absolutely nailed the beep test for term one. All of the students pushed themselves out of there comfort zones and gave it everything they had in the tank. It was great to see the students encourage and challenge each other.

Yesterday afternoon Room 5 did the beep test. This is a test where you run back and forth, but there’s a catch you have to get to the other side before the beep goes off. The beep gets faster and faster. Well, you get tired by the end of it. We were as red as a tomato. The girls went first while the boys were at the side cheering them on. There were tearful people because they had pushed themselves so hard. They felt like they were going to vomit and all the boys were nervous. Then the boys went and they ran up and down. There were so many tomato faces and some very proud faces.

Yesterday Room 5 did the beep test. The beep test is a type of running test where you have to run from one line to another before the beep goes off. The beep test is a tough running test. When you do it your face would be as red as a tomato. Most people loved the beep test but some didn't.

The beep test is exhausting and it makes you feel exhausted and makes you feel like you're going to vomit. It is going to be hard but you have to push through.When you start it feels easy, a lot of people thought it was easy until you get to level 10 it gets very hard and fast.

The highest score for the boys was 15.6 by Sean and for the girls was 12.2 by Lucie and Charlie.
