On Thursday we were supposed to have our school cross country race, but with thunderstorms forecast, we postponed the race until Friday. Sadly, we had to run in the rain on Friday because the weather did not want to cooperate!
All of our students joined in and tried their best, even in the rain, and our Year 2s all completed 2 laps of Putikitiki (our school field). They all showed perseverance and were proud of their efforts. They will remember this cross country race day experience because of the weather!
Here is some of our writing about the race...
We ran by the road and I came 5th. It was exciting.

I ran. I was breathing fast. My chest was puffing and my heart was beating fast.

I was not happy because I felt sick. Afterwards I put on my jacket and I was warm. I felt happy.

On Friday we did cross country. It started raining. We were running and Peachgrove kids came. When we came in I started crying because I wanted my mum.

I did cross country down Putikitiki with my friends. It was pouring down.

When I went in cross country it was raining super hard. Year 2 boys had to wait for a wee while. We ran though. I came second.

Brilliant effort by the teachers and the students. Loved the support and encouragement from the parents; just wonderful.
