Cross Country!

Talofa everyone!

Yesterday we had Cross Country and is was Amazing! The run was really long and it wasn't the most easiest. My legs feel really tired today that when I get home I might sleep until dinner! There were lots of activities like games, warm ups, runs, Tennis and a rest station. Some of the yr 6 were leading the games and the stations. The others would be on the course telling the little ones were to go. I was with 2 other leaders and 1 house captains. The 1st station was the Cross Country run which starts near the Te Waka ako. The 2nd station was the warm up station were you get ready for the run. The 3rd station was the blindfold game which I was leading. The game is really simple, you get a partner and one has a blindfold. The other one guides them and can't touch them, just by words. The 4th station was Handball and it looked like a lot of fun. There was lots squares and handballs bouncing around! 

Station 5 was Tennis and it got everyone moving. The last station was playground relay and it looked like the best one. In the morning the day started like a normal day except no school uniform and poles. Everyone was wearing house colours such as blue, red, yellow, and green. If they didn't have house colours they would be wearing their uniform or black and other clothes. 

    We had an early morning tea which was at 10:30 to 11:00. Our first group was the 0/1 yr girls and we had lots of other groups to go through during the day. When our last group finished it was our turn. All of the Yr 6's were going to do their run. I was really nervous when the boys already went.

When we started running the whole school cheered and roared across to backtrack. I was really tired and I wanted to keep going. The side of my hip started to feel really sore and everyone was a head of me. Some of them all ready crossed the finish line. We had to do two laps of the course and it was really tiring. I sprinted when I was on the drive way all the way to the finish line. I really tried my best and it was a fun day. I hope you like my blog post and here are some photos of the day!
