Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog, today I will be talking about High jump. Athletics is a big part of New Zealand school culture. In New Zealand each year the school will run an athletics event, one of the events is High jump.
High jump is when you jump over a metal bar that is approximately 1m high. The aim is to jump the highest. The way you jump over is you get a run up and when you make it to the bar you jump over with a scissor kick. A scissor kick is when you have one leg go up and then the other one matches its height.
When I last did high jump I failed on the first jump. Maybe because it was a big competition over all of Canterbury and I was not very good. I didn’t enjoy it but at least it was a good learning experience. I hope to learn better for the future.
