The Clifton Terrace Cross Country

Room 15 shows perseverance yet again!
On Wednesday the first of June we had our cross country. When we lined up by our ages I was very nervous. After the six year olds and seven year olds had gone it was the eight year old girls. When we had just lined up I was getting really nervous.
"Ready, set, go!" The whistle went. I ran as fast as I could. We went down the steps, across the bridge, up through the trees, down the hill, through the mud and in between the fence and the fitness circuit. I could hear people cheering and I had to do two laps. When I got to the finish line I found out that I came thirteenth. After all of that I was tired.

"Go!"
Running, coming first, Marcus is in front now! Kaio is in front of me, now I am coming third! Up the hill I go. I have now got a mark on my hand. Ryan is in front of me- now I am coming fourth. I don't want Joseph in front of me. Now up here, going down. Now I am running past the fitness circuit, now I am running past the playground.  Now on my second lap, I am running up the bank again past the muddy part. Now I have got another mark from Dene, running down the hill, going up puff puff, going past the fitness circuit
again, past the W again, past the playground again - finished!
 I came fourth now I can get a drink, that was fun! My Mum is proud of me. It is sad I don't get a medal.           By Oliver


"Ready, set, go!" Racing across the field. "Go, go, go!" is all I hear. I try my hardest. Everyone is watching. The harder I go, the faster I go, everybody cheering in my ear. I try to get up the front but I can't, it's too hard, so I try again but I still can't,  so I try again, but I still can't.      by Latoya

At the cross country I was nervous because there were lots of people. When I had done one lap I slowed down like a soft green leaf floating in the air..... but then I sped up like the wind, it was blowing in my face.   By Elisha
