Hornby Athletics Day

Yesterday was Hornby High's Athletics Day I participated in the social part of athletics.

CARR Values were clearly demonstrated by the other students in the school by achieving their best speed, jump and strength, and showing respect to other people scores, and they showed resilience to their challenging activities, and they showed commitment to show that they are dedicated to athletics.

I demonstrated the CARR Values by participating and showing respect to people, and trying to achieve something in athletics.

I was PROUD of getting 1st in 50m sprint. 

Next year I will do competitive.

Slam Poetry

 (Read In Rhythm) 
Panic
You hear a beeping sound in the distance, you can’t be bothered to reach it, you get up to it and
smack it with your fist, and then you get back to snoring. You know it is a school day. "You said i'll
wake up
in 5.

You wake up and you check the time, and then you get so shocked. "Oh no" you say I got to dip
I can't believe the time. You swiftly run across the

room with your unzipped tiny bag, but you gladly stare at the calendar and say "hooray" it's a
Saturday
afternoon.

Respect @ Hornby High


Respect


In the last few weeks since starting 2020 we have been learning about what respect looks like/feels like and sounds like respect to me means give kindness to people. We also looked @ how we need to respect animals environment and people. This means that respect is good for you and giving it to others is helpful.
