Cross-Country
Have you ever run in a cross country race before?
In the second term the senior school went out on our field and had our cross country.
In our cross country our winners and runners up were Jaycob and Josiah for the boys and Jewel and Angela for the girls.
It was a really hot and rough day and it took all afternoon. When the teacher called out your year and gender you went over to where Mr Hunt was.
There would be a big group of people: fast people up the front and slow people down the back because the fast people would get there first.
As soon as the clapper went bang everybody sprinted as fast as they could and I was jogging at the back and keeping the same pace the whole way around and giving it all I had at the end! I was proud of coming second out of the Year 6 girls.
Mr Hunt made us do 2 laps every lunch hour around the field. It was tiring but it paid off at the interschool cross country race. the day came and our stomachs were full of butterflies. When the race started our hearts were pounding. Bang! We ran our hearts out. A lot of people from our school came in the first ten runners.
We all enjoyed the cross-country team. It was a lot of fun and it took a lot of effort.
We think this was the best year yet!
