fitness challenge

Today Room 10 had a fitness challenge. We challenged the other houses in our class. The Rata house was represented by mahoney,Sarah,Dyson,ngakiri,lesieli,

tupou and me. The first activity was running. We ran three laps around the courts. Our house complete the run in 2m 10 seconds.

The second activity was push ups. The best male push up participant was Tangimetua and the best female participant were Candice and kalo.

Then we all did sit ups. This activity was very challenging. I felt very tired after this activity.Next we took part in the shuttle run.

We had to sprint to the centre of the courts and back to our base for this activity. It was very tiring.

Finally we gathered at the starting point to decide on the scores. Then we went back to our classroom to tell the scores.

I felt very tired and hot after this challenge. We will try our best to come first  and we will work hard for the next challenge.
