Very Fast by Natasha Edgewater 3

Yesterday we went to Mt Smart stadium for athletics. I was so happy that I came 1st in the 200m race. I was very fast and I got a 1st place ribbon.  When I did the Javelin, I threw it the furthest on my 3rd throw. When I did the long jump I jumped as far as I could. I did very well in all my events. I showed my mum my ribbons and she was very proud of me.

Fun at the Special Olympics by Nathan Edgewater 3

Yesterday I ran in the 50 metre race at Special Olympics.

I also did the shotput and the softball throw.

I felt very happy and excited  when I ran fast.

When I threw the  softball it went a long way.

I got a ribbon for coming 2nd in the running race.

Edgewater Seniors Learning a New Sport by Natasha

We learned to play Badminton in the gym. We first tried to balance the shuttlecock on the racquet. Then we practised holding the racquet down and hitting the shuttlecock towards the ceiling. I chose a partner and practised hitting the shuttlecock over the net. It was hard hitting the shuttlecock over the net, but I got it after a while.  We played who could hit the shuttlecock the furthest. Then we had a competition to play against  another team. Me and Allan played against Vikki and Brennan. Me and Allan won the game. I am getting good at Badminton and I can’t wait to play Badminton next week and it will be one of my favourite sports.
