Athletics

For the past few weeks we were working on athletics and preparing for the day. We learnt a lot of things, some which were new and some that we practiced to work on to become better. At the start of the unit I thought it wouldn't be that fun but as we went on it became really fun. I especially liked using the javelin because we had to throw the javelin and it was also our first time using it. Some skills I learnt were how to throw the javelin properly and how to do a proper run up, how to use the sprint blocks properly, how to perfect the triple jump ( which i didn't actually perfect). On the day of athletics I sadly wasn't able to compete because I volunteered to help out with shot put. I was able to see my classmates and friends do their choices, I saw a lot of races which was entertaining to watch. I wasn't able to get my results as I didn't do anything for athletics but it was still a fun day. I really liked how when we were training we were able to go into small groups and practice with friends who might've had the same skills as me. It was also fun to learn how to use a javelin properly and also be able to throw the javelin. If I had a choice to do athletics again I probably would.
