Cross Country

On the 7th of september Point England School had their yearly cross country, I was so excited. We were meant to have it on the 3rd but it got postponed because it was raining. On Monday our day was different because we had to get changed and eat at  12:15 pm so that we could start at 1:00.

The year 7 &8’s were told that we had to wear our house colours. Each student at Point England has a colour that they stay in until they leave our school. Red, Yellow, Green & Blue are all of our house colours. Everyone had to remember their colours on monday.

All of the year 5- 8s had to wait for the  year 1-4s to finish their run. When we ran we had to run in our year levels. Some of the really fast year 7’s & 8’s had to run in front of the year 1’s-4’s so they knew where to go.

This year cross country was more different and harder than  last years because last year we did 1 lap around our school field, around the reserve  once and  back to school but this year we did 2 laps. Heaps of people kept slipping over because the glass was wet and muddy.

When everyone finished their run they were all tired. I think that everyone tried their hardest. My favourite part was running in the mud because we all got dirty and it was slippery. Mostly the year 7’s & 8’s got muddy because they were sliding in the mud.
