Last week we had our annual Craigburn Primary School Sports Day. It was quite a warm day but the entire class did a wonderful job during each event.

We loved our tabloid events:

Fireman’s relay
bocce
Sack race and 3 legged race
soccer dribble
sprints
hurdles
long jump
tunnel ball.

We joined in really well and worked hard to be a successful team. A huge thanks to Mrs Pettman for organising our day – it was amazing.

Last Friday, the 2nd of April, we held our annual Craigburn Primary School Sports Day.

It was a fantastic day and our class loved all of the events we participated in.

The day started with the teachers and SLEG students setting up every event at 7.15am!!!

Each class met in their classrooms and then we went down to the bottom courts to assemble in our house teams – Woodford, Riley, Fraser and Bradman.

Ms Terrell, our Principal, welcomed everyone to Sports Day and wished all of the teams ‘good luck’.

Mrs Pettman, our PE teacher, had a variety of students talk to us about the different sports they participate in as the special opening to the day.

Our events for the day were:

Sprints
Hurdles
Tunnel ball/ Spoke relay
Fireman’s relay / Water in the Bucket
Long Jump
Accuracy throw
Bocce
Sack race/ 3 legged race.

We loved all of our tabloid events and had a great time playing them. We had lots of good sports and tried hard to improve our skills.

After lunch we held the Year 3-7 relay and sprints.

Then Ms Terrell announced the results:

1st place Fraser 1450 points

2nd place Woodforde 1350 points

3rd place Riley 1305

4th place Bradman 1285 points.

We’d like to say a HUGE thank you to Mrs Pettman for organising such a successful Sports Day.

Today we held our annual sports day. We love to participate in all the different events during our day. We had a special guest called Kris who is a triathlete. Kris talked to us about how hard athletes need to train and practise their sports to be successful. He also mentioned that he started sport at a young age – just like us! He is also a representative for the Premier’s Be Active group.

We have four house teams named after famous Australian athletes. The teams are called Fraser (green), Riley (red), Woodforde (yellow) and Bradman (blue).

Our class did the Year 2-4 events, which were:

hurdles
sprints
javelin/ chicken throw
long jump
relays – tunnel ball and under and over
bocce
long kick
Fireman’s relay – water in the bucket
sack race
3 legged race

Our whole class had a wonderful day participating in all of the tabloid events. We tried our hardest to perform to the best of our ability and showed fair and honest sporting behaviour for the whole day.

The winning team for 2013 was Fraser!! Congratulations to the whole Fraser team.

Here are some photos of our day.

Tabloid Events

Vortex Throw – we had to throw a vortex up the hill as far as we could.

Bocce – each team had 1 person roll their bocce ball to see who could throw it closest to the white ball. We played bocce in the Hall.

Long jump

We ran along the green mats and pushed off into the long jump sand pit – trying to jump as far as possible.

Sprints

We ran in a series of races over 100m.

Three legged race

This relay was in pairs because we had to tie our middle legs together. We needed to work really well as a team to make sure our legs moved at the same time as our partners! It was really tricky – then we asked our parents and grandparents to have a go! It was lots of fun!

Sack race

In our house teams we got into a sack and jumped up to a marker and back to our team.

Soccer kick

We needed to kick as many soccer goals as possible.

Tunnel Ball – each house team lined up. The first person rolled the ball under the teams open legs and the last person caught it and ran to the front of the team with it. Each person had to have a turn running to the front of the team.
