Cross Country

On August the 15th we had the big cross country. We walked to the Botanics in groups. We had to cross heaps of roads. The whole school was there. We lined up in our age groups and the five year olds went first. The six year old girls and boys went second. First the girls went then the boys. Before the race I felt nervous. I thought I had butterflies in my tummy. I felt good when I was running because I ran the whole way. After the race I felt exhausted. I wished I could go to sleep for two days. The best part was seeing my dad there. I didn’t think he would be there because my brother goes to kindy until lunchtime. It was nice to have him there. I hope we can do it again!
