This is my report about cross country that happened we have been fundraising for a long time to do this and we finally got to do cross country. The money that you fund-raise you get prizes for how much you raise Cross country Last Wednesday the 11th of September my school students participated in cross country day. We did it to fund raise for a canopy and just to have fun and get fit. My favourite part was my run. First I was waiting for my turn to run. I was sitting there scared for my turn. Chilly wind blew on me while I was waiting in the shade on Te Waka Ako’s deck. Butterflies danced around in my tummy. My friends had dancing butterflies in their tummies . It was also supposed to be really muddy on the run, Ew ew! Well I was waiting for my turn I was cheering for the year 1 girls Yay!. I was Shouting so much that my throat got very sore. The rain started pouring on me and I got even colder and the wind got even stronger. Thirdly, I had to warm up and get ready to run I still have butterflies in my tummy. To warm up I was Stretching my legs and turning around in a circle like the wind spinning flowers around. I was also jogging on the spot. I was excited to run now. Suddenly ms sands shouted one, two , three go!! Run. Squashy mud covered my shoes. I was disgusted. I was Almost there than I won 1st place for the year three girls. Hooray hooray. My friend Paige got 2nd place for the year three girls and my other friend Anna got third place for the year three girls. I love cross country because… it makes me fit and strong and I can try new things out and have fun.
