Sport day

In my old school in Paris, we had sport day almost at the end of the year. We played a lot of different activities. In fact, it was more like an exam of physical strength. We borrow a small stadium and spent whole day.

So at the beginning, we did the long jump and the high jump (meant to be a warm up but it was more like a competition between girls). We were able to choose what we want to do in sports day. There was 100m, 200m, 400m, a relay, the long jump, and the high jump. I think I chose 200m and long jump. Since I’m slow runner, I took second last place in 200m running out of 8 people and I can’t remember how long I jumped for the long jump. It wasn’t that long….

After that, we were divided into 10 groups and had 5 activities to go through as a team. First activity was to jump and go through the hula hoop. One person from each group had to hold the hula hoop up with one teacher and other people jump pass through it. As many people go through in limited time is winning the activity.

Second game was to throw a water balloon in the water basket as many as possible. First, you spin 10 times and run about 100m than throw the water balloon which is really hard to do. Most of people didn’t even get to 100m run; they fall down as they’re running. So did I but made 1 goal in.

Third activity was to show the team work. Teachers show one person from the team pictures of people

The fourth game was an easy stage. There’s a bottle of full M&Ms in it and we had to guess as individual how many M&Ms are in there. Teachers even don’t know the answer and the winner was announced next day who was Korean girl. She got the bottle of full M&Ms and her team got one little pack of M&Ms.

Last activity was my favorite. Play the tug of war. It was a competition between 10 teams and our team won the second price which was quite nice.

Than we had lunch of our own than did the main part of sport day, A RELAY!! Team was divided in grade and 8 people from each participated. I don’t remember which team won but it was fun regardless of winning. And after that, just before we leave the stadium, we had teachers’ 100m race. And the winner was geography teacher not PE teacher. It was very fun.

This was part of action and community with friends. I felt much more confidence when I finished it and also felt closer with friends and made new friends. I think this was my beat sports day I’ve ever done.
