Chylsea - Athletics

It was a lovely Thursday afternoon, the sun shown bright and the lusious blue colour stood out amonge them all.

The day had finally come around today was the day of our school athletics.

HOUSE COLOURS :

Totara - Kaka green,

Rata - The colour of our blood,

Kowhai - The colour of the sun, and the best for last

Puriri - the colour of the clear blue sky.

We started off this beautiful day with our first 2 periods and then we rushed to our tutor classes and got dressed into our house colours and then a quick practise of our house chants, and of course Puriri was going to dominate the other teams. With all our awesome chants underway it was time for the real stuff to begin to start. All houses walking in from each of the 4 corners of the field, singing and yelling out there chants.

Entering onto the field was just the easy bit of the day there were still a lot of tiring events to take place.

Running, laughing, cheering and a lot of cheesy facials all around. The day had finally gone underway. Our first events had taken place. The high jump, running races, and a lot lot more.

A few races in and i fort i would give the 400 meter race ago, and what do you know i came first. The feeling of coming first was extremely awesome just that feeling to have finished with a win.

Threw out the whole day house captains and prefects were handing out ice-blocks and drinks.

As people were running up and down the field people were chasing after and also chucking water at them.

Music was played throughout the whole day. Lots of people getting into the rhythm and start to sing.

Well the day was almost over, and it was time to pack up. Everyone contributed their own little bit towards picking up all the rubbish left on the ground.

The day had come to an end and yet everyone had a huge smile on their face's. Lots of wins but at the end of the day everyone was a WINNER.
