Cross Country

Last week on Thursday we did cross country.  In the morning the juniors ran and we went outside  to cheer for them.  After morning tea it was time for the seniors to run.  First was the year fours and next was the year fives.  Eventually it was the year sixes.  I was scared and excited at the same time but I'm happy I finished the race.

Cross Country

It was the Fifth of June. Everyone a bit blue after the end of a long 4 day weekend, and here we are, starting the week off with cross country! Everyone came in their sports uniform. And from the morning up until lunch time, us students were running the Cross Country track.

We raced in year levels, so the year 1's raced with each other and so on. Those young bunches got to only run 1 lap. While us big kids had to run 2 and a half laps! Doesn't seem that much until you add the fact we had to jog all the way up Telford Ave and back twice! It was fun being competitive and racing your friends and other people. Everyone was bursting with positive energy.

Lining up before heading to the track is where the nervousness starts to kick in. We made our way to the netball court and stretched, a bit after that the year 6 girls started running. A few minutes later it was OUR turn to run the track. We all lined up and Mrs Mcleod told us where to go, then after that, we were off. Everyone seemed extremely exhausted at the end, but finishing the race was so relieving.

Congratulations to all the children who came in the top 3 and represented their houses well. And thanks to all the parents who helped motivate and keep us children on track.
