cross country.

On Thursday 22nd August Pt England School had their cross country. Everyone was really excited. Lots of people dressed in their house colours. I am in Tainui and my house colour is blue. After lunch Room 13 lined up outside the classroom and went to the hard courts to get ready for cross country. It was so hot it was like we were getting baked by the sun. I was racing in the 9 year old boys race we were running 1.5 kms around the school field and the reserve. We had to wait a long time before it was our turn to race. The 5 year old boys were the first race. Suddenly it was my turn. I had butterflies in my stomach as I waited nervously for Mr Burt to start the race. The siren went and I took off down the field. When I got out to the reserve I started slipping in the mud. I kept running but I was getting tired. “Yes I’m nearly finished!” I said to myself. Finally I crossed the finish line as everyone was shouting and cheering. When I had finished my race I went and go a drink of water from the drink station. Miss Williamson and Mrs Flavell were in charge of the water station, I said “Thank you very much.” I went and sat back on the courts but this time I sat in the shade by the wall to help cool me down. I felt proud of myself that I had finished my race and didn’t come last. I hopeI will do better next
