On Thursday we had our South Taieri Schools Athletic Sports. With the very cold and wet morning on Tuesday, what a great decision it was to postpone the sports day. We all enjoyed a beautiful sunny day and much dryer ground to sit on. The Junior Sports was for the morning only, and we enjoyed a very well run mixture of 7 events. The morning raced by with the children enjoying the events.
The photos featured are mostly the 7 year old boys due to my chief photographer being in this age group. It was pleasing to see that we all put our best effort in.
Well done Meg for getting 2nd in the long distance run for the 6 year old girls.
Congratulations Demi for being 3rd in the 40m sprint for the 7 year old girls.
We have 4 class members that competed in the 8 year old senior sports which went all day.
Ezra, Fynn, Edith and Olivia, had 6 events to compete in. Long jump, 60m, Discus, high jump, 75m and Shot Put. Not only did it sound like you had a great day, your score cards showed that you all had a very good points day too!
The agility poles - look at the technique as Harrison (middle) quickly makes his way around the poles.
Good on you Hunter, you always give your best and with a smile you made your way quickly around the poles :)
3 leaps - look at Ted's concentration (2nd in from right) as he hangs onto the ball and makes his leaps.
Wow look at the height Harrison (2nd in from the right) gets to in his leaps.
Go Caleb! We had to remember to only do three leaps and not move once we had.
What a great swing you had Andrew to push your body forward.
Vortex - look at it fly as we all have a warm up throw. Noah shows us how far his one can fly.
Caleb gets ready for his vortex throw. It is important to get your body in the right position and point to where you want the vortex to go. Great demonstration Caleb.
The 400m long distance run was challenging for some of the 7 year old boys. Great to see you all running and trying your best.
Harrison is determined to pass the Waihola boy in front - go Harrison.
Look at Jacob streaking off ahead trying to catch the group in front of him - and with a smile!
Push throw - ready set... look at the distance some of us managed to get!
Sprint 40m - Demi finishes her heat in the 7 year old girls - you will have to run again in the final race Demi. Great photo thank you Hunter chief photographer for the running events.
AWESOME running Demi... gosh you are fast- 2nd in year 7 girls well done.
Year 7 boys final race for the 40m sprints. Lots of Outram polos in this photo! Again great photo thanks Hunter.
Beach Flags - what a fun event this was, not only did we have to make sure that we all lined up with our fingers on the line, keeping down on the ground, we had to jump up as fast as we could to race to the batons at the end. Sometimes it came down to not just all going for the same baton at the same time!
Again look at the line up of the Outram shirts in the finals - GO Outram!

I really enjoyed athletics day. I was lucky to go around the events with the 7 year old boys. Sorry girls that I couldn't see you. It was great to see all the parents supporting us. What a great da we all had. Well done Ezra, Edith, Olivia and Fynn for competing for e first time in the senior athletics. The rest of us will get our turn next year! ( oh other than you dear Meg.. You will have one more year in the junior sports because of when our birthday is.)
Go Andrew what a fast runner you are.
