A Saturday at school

It was a hot day on Saturday but use at school that day were not. It was the day for sports and some fun old school games.

We all showed up at school at about 30 minutes before we played some old school games. Once it was time to play the games we all were called to come under the shelter to have little talk about where we could get our lunch and many more things.

Then the games started  and the first game we played was the three legged race. The first race was won by Calliope soon after Calliope won Leander came speeding down the middle and won the next round and after the judges added up the scores it was Calliope in second and Leander in first. It was amazing to see how fast the student could run pinned together with only three legs.

Once the game was finished we played another game that was called roll the hoop. It is when a player uses their hand to roll the hoop to the their destination. The first race was won by Achilles the the next race was won Achilles, then the judges added up the scores again and then Achilles in first place and Orpheus in second.

Near the end of playing games it was time for the tug-of-war. After the houses challenged each other the students then challenged the parents. It was hard for others but for me it was easy because I was trying to sit on the rope. It was a tough task trying to beat the parents because they are stronger than us.

Towards the end of the sports day Mr Horan held a lollie scramble for the little children while we have to leave and get ready for Hakawaiata. It was sad to walk away from the lollie scramble but we were told we will get our own lollies after. That cheered us up as we walked towards our house areas.
