!!!The Atheltics Run Off!!!




…............................................................................................................................................
‘Oh yea!’ I am so thrilled , about the day as we are going to the athletics track as we had been preparing for weeks. Straight after morning tea St Pius , yes the whole school was going to have a run off. We are going to have a day off with no work oh yea!
My team was “GECKOS” the team that always win. Would they succeed again?

I was really excited about the day with all the cheering and chants as the flags and banners were waved about as we marched from the front of the school to the track. I was running in the 10 yr old events. Mrs Pole called for the first competitors to stepped and go to the starting post. The 5 yrs old run try so hard and there was the danger they not stay in their lanes. Me,Fetuli and Jorina was cheering on our team . We were having a great time. Kiwi’s were next to us and they were cheering for their team. I not sure who was more excited the cheer team or the winner of each race.

Finally, the waiting was over and it was the 10 yr olds turn . Yes! my time to shine under the sun. So we walked to the starting line. Most of the events had heats but we were running all- together, no finals.Well actually we were running the finals. Only one chance to shine for the Gecko’s. The twelve year olds were the last to sprint and then there was an open 800 meter race for boys and girls , and the winner was? Well they weren’t from Gecko’s. After that it was lunch time.

The straight after lunch, the junior syndicate were competition in novelty races. The Senior syndicate was busy with relays . The house team were matched against each other Tuis vs Kiwi’s and Keas vs Gecko’s. Tuis won and Keas won and so Tuis was vs keas and then all of, a sudden, Tuis won the relay’s. Congratulation's to the Tuis. To finish of the day the chant competition came up. We all did well .

The scoreboard was turned away from us so us Gecko’s were not 100% certain we had won again. Mr Coakley took hold of the microphone and called out the final result.So who had accumulated enough points to topple us off the winning platform. The 4th placed team was Keas, Kiwis were 3rd Tuis were 2nd and the last of all the one and only !!!!!!! GECKOS!!!!!!! Wooooohoooo!!!!!. that was the greatest day ever,!!!!! we won!!!!!.
