ATHLETICS DAY

 

In 13th of November 2020 we had a very fun event, we call this Athletics day. it is the day where 4 teams compete for the best winning house, the teams were, Tobruk, Tripoli, Benghazi, Alamein. The point of the game is to get the most points for your team by playing field events such as shot put, discus, high jump, long jump and  standing jump. Aach team has a gazebo to stay on so people don't get sun burned.   

For the first game I did, was Shot Put the rules of this game is to places the shot by your shoulders and your not allowed to throw only push, whoever gets the farthest push wins the game and gets to represent their school. The next game I played was Standing Jump, the rules of standing jump is to jump where you were standing and no double movements. For the third game I played was discus, a tip for discus is to throw it at the right time and ahold it from the front. the  fourth game I played was long jump, long jump is a simple game all you need to do is run and try jump your farthest but you have to jump before the line but if you don't you get disqualified. The last game I played was high jump, for high jump you just have to jump over the pole then land on the soft mat, but the only technique you could do was scissors. after all of that then we had morning tea.

After morning tea we moved on too...RACING, first it was juniors first it goes to 5 year old boys/girls then to 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, there are a 50 meter race then 75 meter race then 100 meter race and a 400 meter race but that is only for the older people. But then in the end Alamein won then Benghazi then Tobruk then Tripoli
