Athletics

On Tuesday we did athletics. We learned lots of skills. One of the most important ones were knowing when to start. For example, not everyone says "ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO" some people say "ON YOUR MARK, GET SET" and instead of saying "GO" they clap with their hands or use two wood and bang it together. So the main point of that was to know when you had to start running. 

The other skill was to get a good start. We had to start as soon as the coach clapped. If we were too slow we would have to catch up with the others, and if we started running a bit too early you will get disqualified. 

But if we started running as soon as the coach clapped we would get a good start. 

The coach said we had to get a good start because, so we can run the race well, and if we started at the right time we would get a head start in the race and maybe win the race.
