Athletics Day

On Wednesday the 27th of August, 2008, The Lakes held their athletics day at Meadowglen Athletics track. We had four teams and they were, yellow- Evens, Blue – Beachley, Red – Jackson, Green-Rafter, and we all dressed up in our team colours.

At the athletics day many people won ribbons and everyone who was at the athletics day received a participation award. There were lots of events like high jump, discus, shot put, long jump, relay, triple jump, 800 metres, 200 metres, 100 metres, 1500 metres and some rotational activities for the preps to year 3s. For the first half of the day we did field activities and second half was track events. Some of the teachers ran a relay also, it was against the Cricket Victoria Teenagers who were helping out, the teenagers thrashed the teachers.

Teams got points for cheering for their team and having the best chant as well as for coming first, second, third and forth. At the end of the day the green house had the most points, so they won the athletics day.

By the end of the day we were all exhausted because we competed in so many events and cheered hard for our teams. Luckily we had a curriculum day the next day so we could rest.


By the fantastic year 4s, Kathryn and Steven
