Improve My Long Jump

This is my long jump 20 October 2015: Click here to watch the slomo!

I am practicing for athletics day on Friday.

Our teacher has videoed us so we can analyze our own jumps.

 We have picked up some tips when watched a video of what a professional long jump looks like. 

This is what the long jump process is:

Run up: Constancy, and to be able to stay on the same place every time you run down.

Your speed needs to be really fast all the way down so that you get momentum when you jump.

Take off: There is a bit before you jump where your hips sink, use that to push off and with your free knee, and lift it up to get high in the air.

Flight: There are different types of flight. One when you push off sail through the air, and when you move your feet like a running motion through the air

Landing: At the end push your legs in front of you, and then pull your body through the air towards your feet.

100 Word Challenge ...it felt like...

The hills looked taller, and more darker in the shadows.

The sea was more rough and greener than yesterday, and the wind; it felt like whips, lashing out and striking my cheeks until they became beetroot red. Behind me, the poles that were holding down our tent that we were camping in, were almost coming out of the ground.

Little sand storms were forming on the beach, but it was deserted, infact no one else's tent was even in the camp ground.

Suddenly the air got extremely hot, and turning towards the hills, I realised why we were alone...

My School Holidays

My holiday was fun, we spent the first week on Plantation Iceland, which is a Iceland off Fiji, which ended  my three month holiday around the world. 
Here are some photos:

This is the Oasis Pool, that was right outside our house.

This is what you see as the locals greet you when you arrive on a boat there.

They give you shell necklaces and as you walk up the waft you see all of these fish in knee deep water swimming everywhere.

This picture doesn't show it well,  but all the fish are lots of different colors. 

One time we came there at night and saw a school of fish swimming around in a circle, there was 

thousands of them, and on the other side of waft we saw a group of Angle fish.

The last two photos was our final day and we were rushing around taking photos of everything!

Once we got back on the second week of school holidays, we went to the Horn Castle Arena, for the three day convention of Jehovah's witnesses.
