On Friday the 23rd of
February it was the Milton Schools Athletics day. St Marys and Tokoiti came to
participate with us. All of the events started at 9.30am and went to around
2.00pm. Lots of parents and caregivers came to cheer their children along as
well as their school. These were all of the events: high jump, long jump, mini
hurdles, 100 metre sprints, 200 metres, 800 metres, shot put and discus. Each
child put in a one hundred and one percent effort. At the end of the day
children went home with a red face and a smile with tomato sauce over it from
the delicious sausage sizzle at lunchtime provided by Home and School helpers.
The 800 metre run was the longest and made us puff and slow down a little bit
more at the end of the race. Everyone tried their hardest and our best wishes
go to the children who qualified for the South Otago sports in Balclutha. It
was a great day but everyone’s bones would have been very stiff and sore the
next day!!
