Cross Country Running

Yesterday we finally had our annual cross country race.  It was rained off on Thursday so the children were ready to race.  In the year one boys race Najari came fourth and in the girls race Madison came second with Jade F fourth and Leigharna fifth but the children were all champions and kept running all the way around the muddy course.

"Yesterday we ran so fast because Mr Burt used the clappers to start our race.  We went around the field, through the gate, passed the horses and up to the finish line".  By Kohatu.

"At cross country we had a race on the field and it was muddy on top of the field.  We ran as fast as we could and we had so much fun.  All of the children sat down in a row behind a chair labelled year 1."  By Ryder
