Cross Country!

Tired, exhausted. Yesterday, our school, Glen Taylor, had cross country. We planned to start at 11:00 am but we started at 9:00 am. Do you want to know why? Because it was about to rain at that point of time. It said it would rain for a few more days.That's just a bit weird. At 9:00 am, all the students went to their house groups. Maungarei, Taurere, Te Wai o Taiki and last but not least Kaiahiku - ( Red, Green, Blue, Yellow )

We went by youngest syndicate to eldest:

Year 0: Around the field once

Year 1: Around the field then to the (basketball & Netball) court then back

Year 2,3 & 4: Around the field once after that, one lap around our whole school

Year 5 & 6: Around the field 1 when finished, two laps around our whole school

Year 7 & 8: Around the field once when done, three laps around our whole school

We all had to go to the table when we were finished to see what place we came plus we had to go half of the field. It was raining when most of us was running. When we got through the entrance then we got water-gunned by teachers and a student. When we finished the lap we got the dot and still got water-gunned. Everyone probably did not like it in their face especially. 

After, when everyone came, everyone looked like they never wanted to do it again but we do it every year. We  also went inside our school hall then started to do Zumba until the bell rang for morning tea. 

At slightly before home time, we found out who came 1st, 2nd, 3rd in the syndicates. Also the house points. The first house was a tie, Maungarei/Red & Te Wai o Taiki/Blue. 

Cross country was fun but tiring. I hope you enjoy this blog post and the pictures!
