We won on our Sports Fest. We actually thought that if we don't have 1st place on the last program which is, 600m relay (boys), we are going to be 2nd place, and
Class 3 is going to be on 1st.
When our PE teacher announced the winners and the first place winner on
the 3rd year, was our class, we were so happy, and shocked, in a good way.
Our point overall was 144.
We were very happy, all our hard work paid out.
Me, and my 3 classmates were came in 1st on 300m relay (girls). I was the first
runner, and I need to pass the baton to the 2nd runner. I was really nervous that I might be slow, and we might lose (come in last or 3rd). But we actually came in first. We were so happy. My team mates were very happy. We were glad to get out of the pressure. I had a good time, but it was so hot outside, and I had a little
head ache, and after I ran my thighs hurt a bit. It was over, and we won, and I am thankful.
I never expected our class to win. Class 3 had a lot of good runners. We were quite devastated when we thought we lost to them.
We also had this program, it's called 'oonawa', 'big jumping rope'. It's a game, where the aim is to jump as many times as you can in 2 or 3 minutes. The girls on the whole class is going to jump on the 1st round for 2 mins. Our class jumped 62 times. It was exhausting! The 2nd round is the boy's round. I think they jumped for about 30+ times. They we're that good. And the last, is the 3rd round, where the boys and girls from the class get to jump as many times as they can for 3 mins.
This is the part we've all been waiting for. We always came last in this program.
So we always practiced every morning. Instead of going to school on 8:00~8:25 in the morning. We decided to go every 7:30 am. The boys on our class really came! It was a surprise. Some were late, but they did their best to come as early as they could.
We had trouble on the 3rd round, where both girls and boys jump. So we concentrated on that part, and tried to jump as many times as we could. Before we can only jump 3 to 4 times continously, and when added, 30 times. But miraculously, today we jumped 50 times! We did very good! Some of my classmates were really happy and cried. I almost did, but I tried not to.
I think it has been a very exciting day. I was so tired, that I almost did not make my chores. But luckily I woke up.
We are hoping to do our best too, on the Music Festival (Ongaku kai).
My computer was broken again.
I really hate it when this happens!!!
