I ran in the 200 metres, 80 metres, 400 metres relay and throwing a cricket ball. In the 200 metre race I cam second but in the finals I came 4th. I was running with Jess M she came first but in the finals she came 5th but I only just beat her.

"Now onto the 80 metre race." I came last. Jess M came 3rd but in the finals she came 4th. In the relay we came second. We came 3rd in the throwing game.

I think I did pretty bad because I'd never done it before apart from in PE. Also Mr Barton made me do the high jump and I wasn't even supposed to do it.

  J&J: Okay, I bet that's easy.

  A: Well find out what you've got next!

  J&J: That was okay. Right, go do long jump.

  A: Fine I will do.

  [After long jump]

  A: That was ace - I came 3rd. Now you two do 200m.

  J&J: Aaargh! That's horrible.

  JH: I'm bored of arguing.

  JM: Me too. I'm sorry.
