Athletics day

Yesterday was our athletics day. It was a fun but exhausting day! Today we wrote about our experiences of athletics day. Our focus was to use an interesting story starter to grab the readers attention and to use the 5 W's (who, what, when, where, why) and H (how we felt) to include lots of information.

Here are few wonderful examples...(note: ngenge is the Maori word for tired).

Run, jump, throw! Yesterday was a splendid day at Discovery School. Do you know why? Because it was athletics day! 5 year olds, 6 year olds and 7 year olds did games like long jump, high jump, hurdles, shot put, sprints and javelin. It was amazing! Rylee

Run, jump, throw! On Wednesday it was athletics day and we did running, jumping and hurdles at Discovery School. It was all the 7 year olds, 6 year olds and 5 year olds. We did 6 events. After we were ngenge! It was exciting because we watched Garfield after we did athletics! Jack
