Cross Country

Last week in Te Ngahere we have been training for Cross Country. We had to run around our school two times. We did this every day and the teachers had a stopwatch, when we finished two laps the teacher told us how long we took. This week we have to run three laps around the school. My first time was 6:16 min, my second time was 5:27 min and my third time was 5:18.  Next week we have to run 5 laps I think that I will take 8-9 minutes.

Cross Country

Last week our school did cross country on Thursday 6th September.
We trained for cross country on the school field. We had to see how many laps we could do in ten
minutes.
I improved by 1 lap - I started off at 4 laps, then moved up to 5 laps. We went to the Bledisloe Domain
to run our cross country. There was different courses for the younger kids. We ran by age groups.
I was really nervous. When it was the 9 year old girls we lined up and then the teacher said “on your
mark, get set, GO!”

We started around the field and then we went up the hill. I was in third place.
We ran through one gate and then looped around and then we went back down the hill.
I was in fourth place at the top of the hill. Then I went rocketing down the hill and to the finish line.

In the end I came 6th.
