QUEENS SPORTS DAY !!!!

QUEENS sports day!!!!

On Tuesday June 7 our class went to Queen's University for a sports day. The events that we did were racquet ball, martial arts, swimming, badminton, field hockey, and fencing. The first thing that we did when we got off the bus was we met our instructor named Emily. Then we went to our locker room and put our bags in our locker. The first sport was our favourite sport (see picture down below) the sport was called racquet ball. It was sooooooo FUN!!!!!! We got into groups of 3 or 4 and we were in this little room and we had goggles and a racquetball (very bouncy!!) We were on a team with Taylor Acorn, Gracee Fillion and Alyssa Campbell. The object of the game was to hit the ball on the wall and hit it back but it can bounce only once on the ground. The 2nd thing that we did was called Martial arts. We learned fancy kicks and punches. Then they got out a dumby and a punching mat and we punched the mat and kicked the dumby. After we all got a turn we played a game called FLAGS. We all got a piece of ribbon and put it on our shorts and if some one took it off of your shorts you have to go and sit down. Then we went to the swimming pool. They had a really high high dive. We all went on it like, 4 times. If you look up at a roof it was probably higher than that!!! We had to do this swim test and we swam for a long time without touching the bottom. But it was all worth it! After we jumped we went to the swimming part and had races with each other. Once we were done having races we went in to the shallow end and played. Then we had to go and get changed for field hockey we played pinnies VS shirts we had a lot of fun playing it !! Then we went to the gym to start fencing.

We got dressed for it and we began. we had swords with duct tape on the end so we didn't hurt anyone, (we were wearing helmets). It was outrageously fun!!
