Highlights from School Triathlon

Today at Auroa Primary School we had our first major school event - the 2015 School Triathlon. The event was supported extremely well by the local community.

Thank you Mrs Yollis

There are many wonderful educators who are around the world who we've had the pleasure to be in contact with. One of the very best Bloggers in the world, and we can say that because she's had 1.4 million page views, is Mrs Yollis whose a classroom teacher in the USA. She has an amazing blog which you can click on here. She also has a fantastic Photo Blog where she features photos from around the world.

The latest photograph on her blog is one that was taken from our school field, it was taken by one of our students and showed our local landmark, Mount Taranaki, in all its splendour.

On your marks, get set... 

Blood pumping, sweat pouring, eyes bulging out of my sockets like a jack-in-the-box. I hear Mr Chittenden’s voice booming across the field. Kids were setting themselves up for the first triathlon race of the day. “3,2,1, GO!!!" Just as the middle kids were starting their race. I was whisked away like a lighting bolt toward my tandem bike. Fear was in the air. By the time Dad loaded me into my tandem bike kids were swarming around like flies, trying to get a glimpse of my new wheels. At last we were off. “Pedal Dad, pedal!" I shouted, anxiously looking behind me. The wind blasted my face. Quick as a flash Izzie passed us with a grin from ear to ear. Halfway through the race, I started to get a weird feeling inside me. Black clouds gathered around us and it started to rain. Spits fogged up my glasses. Dad was red faced pumping with energy. I looked behind me. Soon we were passed by bikers from every direction. As we turned around and headed for home, I commented worriedly, “Dad, I don’t think we are going to pass the bikers” “Don’t worry, we’ll pass them” Dad chuckled with a smile. After we climbed up the steep hill, he suddenly put the bike into fast gear. I was happy that we overtook the bikers. I felt like we were flying as we zoomed passed the finish line. I could finally relax and have a hot sausage and a drink.
