On the 28th November some P6 and 7s got to go to the Tryst Sports Centre for an athletics competition. We represented Chryston Primary for the athletics events against lot’s of other schools.
The day started with all the young athletes getting ready to get onto the bus, when it came we all got on and drove to St Barbaras. We picked up the athletes and from there and left for the Tryst. When we arrives we warmed up and got started.
First some people did javelin and they were good, next was standing long jump which was very fun, then it was vertical jump. I did that and it was very, very fun. After that we did speed bounce, I did not do it but it looked fun and hard! Afterwards was chest push – I had a shot it was ok. Lewis in P7 threw the ball the furthest from the whole day! Finally it was the triple jump.
In the afternoon we all did some relay, we won some of them! We raced against other teams. Some of the relays were just running but some were like obstacle courses!
