Cross Country 2017

Hey Blog World, this week we had our cross country. Despite all the bad weather we had to do it in order to have people in our cross country zones. The juniors did one lap of their course. Then the seniors did two laps of theirs. The juniors ran 1 km and the seniors ran 2 km's. This year we did cross country different because the grass was so muddy. The year sixes like me, had the last race because while the other years 1-5 weren't racing we were keeping them company and playing games with them. We played ball games and blindfold games. They also played with the school's terako stick and a station game where you had to move to different stations. Then their was the year sixes warming them up before the big race. They did excercises like star jumps and running on the spot. Then four year sixes guided them through the course because it was their first time running the course and they didn't know where to go. It felt challenging because sometime's the kids wouldn't listen to me while me and my group of leaders were giving them instructions. But it felt good because I liked it when the kids listened, had fun and were smiling and laughing having a good time. I had fun today and know that the purpose wasn't just a race. It was to keep our fitness up to make our heart rate healthier. 

Reflection

I had such a fun time today. I had fun being a leader and watching everyone including my friends run cross country and enjoy themselves. I hope that in Intermidiate next year cross country will be just as fun as this year.

Here's some photos and videos of the day. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment.
