Reflection W6 Athletics

Last week we had Athletics, My house was Tieke, we had to wear our house colours. There were tree kahuis Mohua was yellow, Riro-riro was blue and Tieke is red. I played only on social because I was to lazy to go competitive. The activities I did were high jump, long jump and discus. The thing I enjoyed the most was high jump, because I got over 1.3m, I didn´t know I can jump that high but I´m proud that I did it. After the athletics was finish Mr. Hilliard announced which kahui came first, second and third. I think came first Mohua, And came Tieke second and Riro-riro was last. I didn know what kahui came first because I wasn´t paying attention, the only thin I heard was second place is Tieke.
