We went to meadow bank to get a taster for athletics.There were students for Edinburgh College there to help us and tell us what to do. We were the first school there so we did a warm up while we were waiting for the 2 other schools. We got split into girls and boys. We started with relay races and had to go through obstacles and jump over hurdles. We did quite a few races and we came 1st in 2 of them. In my group I had Jude, Alecia and Keira. When we had finished the races we went to the feild events and the boys went to running.
We started at chest push which was the hardest one. You had to sit on a bench,lean back and throw the ball as far as you could. I got 3.25m. We moved to speed bounce which was jumping over a hurdle side to side. We had 20 seconds and got 33 jumps. My favourite was the standing triple jump. You had to hop on your strongest leg change foot and jump. I got 5.08m. There was so much to do it was really fun! There were students who wanted to teach athletics there to help us.
