This year the Division 2 students in our school will get the privilege of competing in two track meets this year. Usually, they only get to compete in one track meet at school. We have been invited to compete with two other schools at Foote Field. There are a number of events in which the students need to compete.
Many students (especially those in Grade 4) are excited to participate in these events. Back in Division 1, their Sports Day was more child-oriented. They have now graduated to actual track and field skills.
Events include both on the track (running) and on the field (not running). Here is a list:
• 50 m dash
• 800 m
• slalom
• 80 m hurdles
• high jump
• running long jump
• standing long jump
• sitting ball throw (soccer ball)
• ball throw (softball)
• javelin
• shot put
• hammer throw
Clearly, students have their favourite events as well as events that they hate. Some students have even surprised themselves with their abilities.
Hopefully, the weather cooperates for both of these track days. Can't wait!

I think that track and field is stupid. Whats the whole reason why we do this? Like we can do all that in class. d
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me that it could be cool to show off your skills because we can do that in class once again. Why like you run around the school to get a ribbon. Like you could just go to the dollar store and get 50 of them for like $3.
Well I do like two things in track in field. I like javelin and hurdles because its a good thing to get your anger out.
I have no idea what I'm going to in the track meet.

I think it is a good thing that we are doing track and field because it is a way to get the kid exercised up.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I love it is because I think it can give me exercise before the big break.
My favorite event would be 800 m run, high jump and the 80 m hurtles.
I signed up for hurdles and I can`t remember the other one.

I think that the track and field is a great thing to do in the summer! Every day we need to exercise to be healthy and this is a great time to get stronger. I hope everybody every where is exercising. Too bad there is lazy people in this world.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event is everything, even those ones I can't do so good. Like throwing a heavy metal ball. I like them because I feel I am getting better at it. I am getting better at it.
I forgot which event I signed up for but I will do the 400 m run.
~Awesometiger
Dear who ever the heck controls this track and field thing, I kind of agree with you, buuuttt my legs think you have a death wish. They get tired after walking to my room which is like TWO STEPS away from my front door! I hope you can under stand:( Sincerely, My Legs.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event WOULD have been slalom (even though I have never heard of it but it sounds pretty cool!:D)
iiiifffff my legs didn't hate me:( My least favourite, 800 metre run.(obvuesely) It's just too long!:(
I signed up for slalom, 50 metre dash, high jump, 100 metre dash, I signed up for something else but I can't remember. I think they're going to curse me with the 800 metre run!:( (probably because I sent them that note about my legs...)

I love track and field because it´s fun and it´s exercising too. I think of the unit is awesome and I would like to have more of it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite one is slalom, 80 m hurdles, high jump and running long jump. Because they are my favorite. I don´t have a least favorite event because I like almost all of them.
I signed up for 80 m hurdles, high jump, slalom and running long jump. And I think they will give me the ones that I signed up for.
~superkitty
I think that track and field is fine. Reason why is because of the fun games or little activity's that we do. Reason why I don't like it is because it gets really tiring and when you get home you don't have enough energy to play out side, go to the park or play with friends. All you do is sleep/nap.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event is hurdles because there a way to test how fast you are or how good a jumper you are. My least favourite event is long jump because.....THEY'RE. TOO. LONG. I JUST HATE LONG JUMPS! Heh just saying what came to mind. The events I signed up for is hurdles ehh, long. jumps. even though I hate them and I forgot the rest but I really think I'll get hurdles and I'll probably will get high jump too but whatever. (O.O)

I think track and field is fun because there is High jump, Long jump and Hurdles. But Javelin is also fun.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite event is high jump because it is fun. And my least favorite event is shot put because it is boring.
In track and field I signed up for high jump, long jump,
400m run, ball throw and 200m run. But I think I will get signed up for all the ones I asked for.
~Mr. Folafogas
I think track and field is awesome because you can play all sorts of activiteys.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event is hurdles because I'm really good at it.
My least favourite is high jump because I don't like it.
I can't remember which ones I signed up for. I don't know what they are going to give me.
~thing2
I like Track and Field but I don`t love it because sometimes it is just a little hard for me. I try my best to do the skills but sometimes I just can`t do it. I like it because it is really fun and I figure out that I can do some of the skills that our class do.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite events are:
1.Hurdles
2.softball
3.50 m dash
4.long jump
5.slalom
I like these events because they are easy for me and they are way more fun!
I signed up for 50 m dash, sitting jump, sitting ball throw, hurdles and slalom. I think I will get the 50 m dash and hurdles.
~Cupcake
I like track and field but it's not my favourite because you are outside all day.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event in track and field is long jump because I'm a good jumper.
I signed up for long jump and 50 m dash I think they are going to give me hammer throw and javelin.
~thing 1
I feel a little bit nervous about the other people at the other school.
ReplyDeleteI would like to do hurdles because I'm a little bit fast and I am good at jumping.
I would like to do hurdles, sitting and throw
(with soft ball) which will you pick?
~thing3
Track and field is fun and not fun. sometimes I like an event sometimes I don't.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite event would be long jump because it's easy and fun. My least favorite event would be skittles because I become slow and I knock over a lot.
I can't quite remember but I do like long jump and I signed up for it. I think also javelin.
Well that's all.
~MEDIC
I think the Track and Field is a great idea but I hope one of the other schools is my old school so I can see my friends. I love but don´t love Track and Field because sometimes I am bad at it.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite events are
-hurdles
-slalom
-high jump
-shot put
-javelin
-ball throw
I don´t really like running events but I guess they are okay. I like all of games with running like tag.
I don´t remember what I signed up event for. I remember two of the events: hurdles and slalom. I hope I get hurdles, slalom, high jump, shot put and ball throw. Can´t wait for Track and Field. I am so excited! YAY!
-bunnyboo
I think track and field is good because you get to throw stuff and win things.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event is the soft ball throw because its a throwing event and I can throw good. My least favourite event is 800 meter dash because its a running event and I suck at running and its too hard.
The events I signed up for are running long jump, hurdles, 100 meter dash, 50 meter dash and soft ball throw. The ones I think I will get are soft ball throw and 50 meter dash.
-R.J.
I think the Unit track and field is good for our education. I like track and field because it help us learn stuff that we never know and we get to do the Olympic stuff that they do.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event in track and field is hurdles and high jump. Because I found out that I`m the best at it and I also love the events. My least favourite events are the throwing events because it gets harder and not fun.
The events I signed up are hurdles, slalom and a few others events.
I think they'll give me a tracking event or not. We are never sure what are they going to give us but I hope I get what I pick.
-Sgt.Jaba
I have never done track and field in division two but so far I like the sounds of it and I think I am going to like it.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite event is long jump because I just really like to run and try to jump as far as I can instead of how high.
I signed up for 50m dash, slalom, hurdles, running long jump and sitting ball throw. I think they might give me 50m dash and running long jump.
