Student Voice – Sports Day

Student’s Perspective (UKS2 & KS3)

 

Since March, Sports Day has been my favourite day of the year, better than my birthday, than school holidays. Last year, I had won some medals, and I wanted to equal that, or even win more. My friends knew how determined I was to win, every lesson about sprinting in P.E was all I could think about, the technique, everything from how to swing your arms and how to land on your feet. On the day of Sports Day, both me and my friends were so nervous. We didn’t know how the day would go, what to expect. The pressure we all faced – it’s hard to describe, but without it, I don’t think I could have gotten nearly as far as I did. I think halfway through our races, speed didn’t enable us to win, it was just sheer determination. Also, when I stood up to receive my medals, when I clapped along for friends winning medals. Sports Day had been more than just a couple of track and field events, for a lot of us, it meant the world. And the knowledge that I, and not just me, but all my friends and classmates had beaten themselves from last year – that was probably the best feeling in the world.                                                – Yasmina Year 7.
