Cross Country

Cross Country


As the chatter of children died down the first race made their way over to Mr Mac to do his fun warm up routine. Today was the day of the cross country and the whole had gathered over at Aranui park. As the races carried on the children from the older section were discussing what place they thought they would come in their race. The year 7 boys headed of before the year 7 girls and we all started to do warm up stretches and when our race was called we headed over to Mr Mac and did even more stretches then we walked over to the start line where Mr Taylor reminded us of how many laps we were doing and a quick run though of where we were to run. On your marks, get set, HONK,and we were off running and jumping over the little ditch that's filled with native plants. Then it was across a small field and up though a patch of trees and over a small fence and through some more trees and over a little a small stream and onto the path that goes around the park then back across the field and that again 3 times and on the last loop into the finishing tent. The person who finished first was Rosie Neal then in second place was Lulu McCann then in third it was Gina Hill. The house that won for the house competition was yellow then red in second and blue and green in third and fourth. It was a fun and tiring event but it was an absolutely amazing event.
