WELCOME TO MY SPEAKER'S CORNER

I am going to tell you about my favourite hobby which is athletics.

Why I Love Athletics?

The reason I like athletics is:› I always liked running even as a toddler!

Loved jumping from high objects› Beating the school bell› It is a competitive sport. › There are fair rules.› It is non contact.› It is fun.

Every week, children can go to Lee Valley to learn about athletics.

LEE VALLEY☺ Then every six months, Lee Valley

hosts an athletics competition called a Minithon for children in Yr 3 to 7 to compete.

Lee Valley Minithon

Guess who ?

At the Minithon:› You could take part in 60m / 200m / 600m /

Shot put / Long jump / 60m Hurdles / High jump / Turbo javelin.

› I always compete in 60m, 200m and 600m.› The hardest race I think is 600m, on the other

hand, the easiest is 200m!
