LMV Athletics Day 2014

On Wednesday it was LMV Athletics day.Glenham, Tuturau, Edendale and Wyndham were competing.


My first event was long jump, my best jump was 2 meters 45cm.  Then we went to 200m, in the heats I came 3 and in the final I came 4th.  Then we were going to discus and I was atually surprised that I got it in the fan!!!  After that we had high jump, I got up to 1 meter and some others got up to 1 meter 10cm.  Then I did 100 meters and in the heats I came 3rd and in the finals I came 5th.  Then it was the relays 'oh no' I was so nervous, Holly was the first runner, then me, then Chloe then Grace.  After lunch we did shot put and I came about 6th or 5th.

After all my events I was puffed and I couldn't wait to go home to my cozy warm bed.

Monarch Butterfly

A monarch butterfly has two pairs of wings, each pair has two wings. On the butterfly's head it has two antenea. Under the dark colours they are lighter.  The caterpillar is 55mm long.  A monarch butterfly has a middle bit, they have 3 segments. On the monarch butterfly it has white dots and orange in the back round but it does have black lines and it has 1 black dot on each side. Before the caterpillar turns into a butterfly it has to turn into a chrysalis.

Sun Smart

Some people like to get tans from the sun. If you’re not careful enough you can get life threatening disease from it too.

The sun can cause all sorts of things like melanomas or skin cancer.  In the future you might have to get melanomas cut out of your skin and the cancer can get into your blood stream and can spread it and also kill you. The operation to get the melanomas and the cancer out of you is not always nice and cannot always get it out of your system.

Sun screen screens the sun from your body in and out of water only if its water proof.

To protect your head from the sun you can wear a sun hat and it will stop your head from getting burnt and your hair won’t get sun bleached.

Everybody on earth should be sun smart so keep yourself safe when you’re in the sun.
