Inside/Outside Poems

Last week we made poems on how we felt doing something or how we think we would feel.  I based mine off Swimming Sports which I had done.  This is my poem…

Swimming Races

 

Inside, my tummy feels queasy,

Inside, I can feel my heart pounding,

Inside, I wonder if I can really do it,

Inside, I remind myself “I can do this.”

 

Outside, people are clapping and cheering,

Outside, I can hear kids and parents laughing and chatting,

Outside, I can see Mum and Bella waving to me from the other side of the pool, 

Outside, some kids are pulling out their lunches to grab something to eat.

 

Inside, butterflies fly around in my tummy,

Inside, I realise that I haven’t trained,

Inside, I feel excitement rising in me.

After we had finneshed writing our poems we made them into a picture.  The picture has a picture of us and our poem writen over top of it.  We made the words that were important to us bigger then the ones that weren’t so important. 

 

Going To Districts

Yesterday (the 9th April 2024) 22 or 23 kids in our school went to districts at the High School for athletics.  I was doing a 60 meter run, a 80 meter run, high jump and long jump.  We went in cars to the high school and when we got there we had to line up in our year groups.  There was St Mary’s, Hokitika primary and Kokatahi school there as well.  The first thing that I did was High jump, I think I came 4th or 5th in that.  Next I did long jump, then 60 meter run and 80 meter run.  I don’t know what I came in those.  I reallly enjoyed it, and I think I will go there again next time and hopefully West Coast as well.

Have you gone to district athletics before?

If you have did you enjoy it?
