Our School Athletics Day

On Tuesday the 3rd of November (martes el tres de noviembre) we had athletics. Athletics is when you compete in different sports like shot put, high jump, long jump, long distance runs , relays, sprints and discus. (Take a look at the pictures below).

It started off as a rainy day however it cleared up which was great.

The intermediates did a great job when they were doing athletics and some of the intermediates made it into the team to go to the interschool athletics day which is coming up soon.

When athletics was finished there was a sausage sizzle. Everyone had an awesome time when they were eating - well we thought we should have a treat for all our efforts.
