Today we went down to Botany College fields for the annual Point View cross country.
We lined up near the field in girls and boys lines behind signs that said Year 3. Then we waited for the cross country to happen.
Year 3 boys went first. We had to spread ourselves across the start line, fast people at the front and not so fast people behind. We listened to instructions about how to start the race. When the whistle blew, we were off. It was like a stampede of rhinos running around Botany! At the start it was tiring, even if we weren't up near the front. Some of us felt a bit thirsty in the middle. At the end we were glad it was over, but we were pleased with our results. Jonathan was 4th and Crist was 9th.
Then it was the girls' turn. We started the same way as the boys. In the middle of the race some of us were feeling a bit faint. At the end we were a bit out of breath. Our best result for the girls, was Rina who came 12th.
It was very, very tiring.
Hi Room 14
ReplyDeleteIt was funny at morning tea on the day of the cross country because there were no big kids around! Lots of the Junior children came over to the middle school to play!
It sounds like you had lots of fun especially the part where there were Rhinos running around!
How far did you have to run?
Did you have a very quiet afternoon after all that exercise?

Oops sorry we put Room 14 ... we meant Room 16 sorry.
