Cross Country
I know a number a people took great photos on the day. Students also would like to use these on the wiki. Could you please send photos to school or pop in with your memory card so we can put them into a folder for student use. Many thanks.
Suddenly I was scared because we were off to the cross country. We were late back from Australia, and I had to sleep in until 8am.
I quickly jumped out of bed I landed on the floor. We drove to the cross country at Waituna West. It was fun. I came 1st only just. We went through the creek. Then I went over the fence, then over rocks, they slowed me down. I was puffed after the cross country some people went the wrong way but I didn't. I had a mad face when I was running because I had the stitch.. Alex
Goal setting: This year for my
training I feel I have become twice as fast as before when I wasn't training.
Now I can run for long periods of time without stopping. Even when I'm really
tired, I still keep on going. What I have been doing for training is sometimes
running 1.3 kms up our really steep hill. I have been running 20 minutes
non-stop at school and some days I run from our turn off to school which is 2
km.
For my goal on Friday; I
aim to run as fast as I can and push myself to the limit. I hope to come in the
top 5 or 6.
Cameo: As I crawl into my sweet
soft bed, I think about how tomorrow it won't be so sweet and delightful. My
feet will be clashing with the cold muddy ground. I will be soaked from all the
drenched water in the stream. I will be as puffed as a dog that has been running
non-stop all day. As I wake to mum turning the light on, still in a sleep mode,
I literally roll out of bed and start screaming at mum. I eat my delicious
porridge and get ready to leave.
Soon I'm at Waituna shaking
like a baby's rattle. As the races come and go I feel worse and worse. Soon I
find that dad is by my side saying hi. - Cole
Production - Junior Students
All junior room students, except Tyler, need black trousers/tights and a long sleeve top for the production. If you do not have these, please just let us know as these are common items and I'm sure someone will have one you can borrow. If you have extra that we could borrow for the show, we would really appreciate it if you sent them to school with your child. They will be returned on Thursday night or Friday.
