Training for the Cross Country Race

We have begun to train for the cross country race.  First we warmed up then with the help of two senior students we jogged around out the front gate, along to the kindy drive, around the hard court and back for another round.  The children managed to keep up a good pace.  It was a good start to their training.

Cross Country Training

We have begun our cross country training in preparation for our cross country race in week 6.  Each day we hope to do two laps around the background after first warming up.  After the run we warm down doing some gentle stretches.  Today was our first run and the children made a good effort at running.

Beginning Cross Country Training

Today we began training for the cross country run.  As it is so muddy out on the field team one stuck to the hard court area for their run.  The children had an older runner as the leader so they would know how to follow leader around a course.  They warmed up, ran the course then warmed down following instructions and doing their best.  Well done team one.
