Running, jumping, throwing and catching were just a few activities that the students of Papatoetoe South School were doing yesterday as part of our School Sports Day. Pulses were racing and everyone had a wonderful day in the sun!
Your task is to write a recount of the day. Here are some ideas to get you going:
- You could create a plan in your writing book to help you structure your thoughts.
- Think of each event you went to in chronological order.
- How were you feeling? What did you think? What could you see, hear, feel around you?
- What did you enjoy or dislike and why?
- Use metaphors and similes to make your writing more interesting.
- Try to really capture the audience's attention.
Here are some sentence starters and conjunctions you might consider using:
They were...
It was like...
I ran as fast as...
I felt like...
I could see...
Suddenly, but, however, while, as well as, after, before...
Check and edit your work before you post (the usual blog rules apply). High quality recounts will receive personal points!

ReplyDeleteOne cold freezing day Papatoetoe South School had athletics.Firstly we were split up into boys age groups to do the amazing cool activities. Then the girls had to do sprints they were fast like superman.
While the day went on the very quick girls got through the sprints while we were doing the activities slowly. Ring Ring! went the bell and I knew the boys did the sprints after morning tea.
I was so freaked out when it was my turn to race my heart was racing like a Formula 1. I didn't know if I was going to win or lose but I ended up coming 1st two times then in the finalls I lost but I still had fun.
Finally at the end the amazing awesome magnificent blue team won I was so happy and so was blue team.

Kia Oramy name is Jewels and I am going to tell you how athletics day went on Monday.
ReplyDeleteOne beautiful morning our school Papatoetoe south did School athletics. We had heaps of different activities with different teahers.
Firstly before we went to athletics all the children got changed into their P.E gear of there colors. Later on the bell rang and that ment that we had to line out side in our ages and our group color house.
Next the teachers splited the boys and girls up. The girls satyed on sprints and the boys went and did all the other activities. In Blue the children were the fastest I think thats why we won. some girls were even fast as cheeters and some were even faster than Kangaroos.
Next was the boys on Sprints, some boys were faster than some girls. Some boys were as fast as lightning bolts, racing cars and heaps of fast things. Most boys were in the blazing BLUE and people who were in Blue were the ones who made us get some points.
Finally all the children were waiting for the Final races. Everyone was yelling, screaming and shouting suddenly the people were racing they were racing like a blink of a eye.
The next day after that people were alling the winning team.
Kia ora my name is Samantha and this is my experience of Athletics day.
ReplyDeleteSwoosh Swoosh went a cold breeze on a Monday morning before Athletics day started. Just then I felt a little nervous because I thought it was about to rain but it didn’t rain.
There were four houses ( teams) named after the colours Red, Green, Blue and Yellow. I was put in charge of Red house. That means I was a leader of Red house and I had to make sure that everyone was sitting in their age groups I also had to make sure that the Red team was cheering loud for our members.
We had to split up the boys and girls because we couldn’t have all doing sprints or all doing games. Mrs Kelly had put the boys on games first and the girls on the sprints. On the sprints we all went pretty fast but only some people made it to the finals and semi finals. The boys had fun on the games. After morning tea we swapped the girls on games and boys on sprints. It was a racket when the boys cheered they were like drums all playing different tunes.
The best part of my day was when I played the game called over the hoop. Overall I think that Athletics day turned out to be awsome.
Thanks for reading!
Hi my name is Avitesh and I am here to tell you about my day at school athletics.
ReplyDeleteOn Monday 14th November 2011 Papatoetoe South school had a school athletics day.
Ring, Ring, Ring! the bell rang we all were very excited for a exciting day at school in school athletics day. The whole school got changed into their P.E gear and ran out onto the field joyfully in our houses.
Suddenly everyone on went silent. Mrs Kelly arrived and sent the boys off to the activities and got the girls sitting by the tracks to do sprints.
When we started our activity, the clapper went off for the girls sprints. When I turned around and had a look I saw the 5 year old girls sprinting down the tracks like lighting bolts.
All the boys did lots of different kinds of activities. While all that was happening the bell rang for morning tea. So we all gathered back together in our houses and went of to morning tea.
After morning tea we all went back onto the field and sat down in our houses. And this time the boys were at the tracks and the girls got sent to the different activities in their age groups.
The day went by and every thing was over so we packed all the activities up and the day was over. So thats my day at school athletics day. And in my head the green team were the winners.
Thanks for looking.

Salam my name is Nabeel and I'm going to tell you about our athletics day on Monday.
ReplyDeleteIt was a sunny, hot day at Papatoetoe South School and our teachers asked us to sit in our age lines. There was four team which were YELLOW team, BLUE team, GREEN team and last but not least the RED team.
Next Mrs Kelly shouted and said that the boys are doing activities and the girls are doing sprints. The boys did all kinds of activities like the hoop throws, bean bag throws, beat the balls, hurdles and many more activities.
After morning tea the boys were doing the sprints and the girls were doing the activities. The sprints started from the lowest age to the highest age. When it was the ten year olds turn to sprint I was nervous as a boy having his first day in a new school. I was picked for the race with five other members. After the clappers I went of as fast as a rocket flying to the moon but unfortunately I ended up coming fourth.
When the races were finished I was as tired as a bull running out of strength and the the red team came second I was so proud of myself.
Thank you for reading my post I hope you enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteMonday 14 was a big day because it was Papaoteotoe south school athletics day. The field was packed with lot of different games like the sprints, the hurdles, hoop flag and all sort of many games. The teachers decided to let the boy’s do all the fun activity’s first and make the girl’s do the sprints first. Once I saw the little girl’s getting I felt nervous because I thought that that green might come last today. BAM !!! loud as a fire shot the girls let of as fast as a jet plain flying across the sky. Wow I thought thinking to myself.
After the bell went for morning tea. Me, Sione and Ruben went to check out the scores, wow Ruben said blue has a lots of scores. RIIIIIIIIING! Sione, Ruben and I was waiting all morning for the boys races to start. sione was racing in the 10 years olds and me and Ruben was racing in the 11 years old.

Ola my name is Vivek and I am going to right a recount about sports day.
ReplyDeleteOn Monday the 14 November we had sports day at Papatoetoe South school.
First all the boys and the girls were separated into two groups.Then all the boys went and did softball throws and after that they did throw the hoop over the flag.When we did throw the hoop activity we all had to get in the groups of eight and then we had to sit in a line so we could take turns on throwing the hoop over the flag. Whoosh the wind blew like crazy and our hoops were flying away like kites.Everything was starting to blow away till the sun came breaking threw the clouds shining at us like magic.
After that we all had turns throwing and catching the hoops and thats how we got to our second activity kneel and sling.We all started to get excited !’; yahoo we some people went crazy just looking at the activity.Every body that was in my group was having a great time.
Next we went to the hurdles it was fun.We were separated into two groups and then we had races.From each group one person went at a time and we had to race over the hurdles and the first one from the two groups get one point.When it was my turn i ran as fast as a lightning bolt.
Finally every thing was over and the team that won was the blue team but atleast my team the enormous red team came second and that was much more better than coming last.
