Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Today was one of my favourtie day of the week. It was Tuesday, the day which my class had our P.E. My physical education teacher told us that he would be splitting us into 2 groups and that one group would be doing high jump while another group would be playing floorball. My group would be doing the high jump.


Our physical education teacher Mr Lee first set the pole to about a little shorter than 1m. He showed us an example of how to jump first. After a few demonstration, he than let us try it out personally. We queued up according to register number. A few of my friends went first, seeing them jump makes me think that it was quite easy. When it was my turn, i ran at full speed and jumped. I flipped over the pole and i made it! My friends were all cheering and i was very happy. After the first round, we realised that it was actually a trial. Mr lee raised the pole to exactly 1m. Seeing the increasement, we were all anxious. When a few of my friends jump, they failed and this made me anxious. When it was my turn, i did exactly what i did at the first time. I ran with all my might and jumped. Looking back at the pole, which was still intact, i realised that i have made it!!!.
Mr Lee told us that does who made it would sit at the side and may proceed on to the next round. After the second round, only about 10 made it. The second round, the pole was about 1. 15m high. A lot of us gasped as the pole was like a third of our height. As usual, i did what i did, but on my first attempt, i jumped and my leg touched the pole, i failed. I was abit disappointed,but Mr Lee gave all of us 3 tries and so, i went back to the queue, hoping to clear it on my second try. When it was my turn again, my friends cheered for me. I ran at full speed and made jumped. I realised that i made it!!!. However, at the end of the second round, only 3 of us made it, Me, Justin and Damien. The last round, Mr Lee raised it to about 1.3m. As i was first, i made the jump. my leg touched the pole and i failed. After the last round, only Damien and Justin made it. I failed despite that Mr Lee gave me a fourth try.
Today's experience was great and i hoped that during the next jump, I would clear all stages
