Tui Cross Country

Nervously waiting on the cold concrete ,I challenged myself to beat my mates at today's cross country. The weather was so windy and freezing, so I felt like an ice cube. Luckily I was wearing my jumper, so it could keep me warm.
When it was the ten year old girls, I went up and got ready to race All that I could imagine, was it was like me and my brother were racing. Then in three seconds, Mr Burt banged his clappers together and it looked liked we were racing for the trophy. At the finnish line I came seventh out of the girls. I felt a little disapointed because I know that I can do better.

Nervously waiting on the cold hard concrete, I challenged myself to beat my mates at today's cross country. As we started, I felt shy. Then Mr Burt said, "Go!" and I just started to jog. After a while I started to run faster. I ran past my best friend Jesiah and I was coming first. I got to the finish line and I had run so fast that I felt puffed but totally excited, because I had won

Hosannah My Cross Country Story

As MrBurt clapped the clapper, I sprinted as hard as I could to try to beat my mates in our cross country. While I was running through the freezing puddles, my feet were numb. I started to stop because I had wasted my energy and it was harder than I thought it would be. Once I reached the finish line, I was proud of myself because I had given it my best effort. I was happy that it was finished and I was so exhausted that I felt like drinking my whole bottle of water.

The Exhausting Race

As I heard Mr Burt bang the clapper, I was exited to see Takitimu kids dash over the start line. I saw people huffing and puffing as they were struggling through the difficult race. I bet it was a good run for everyone. It was more fun than I thought it would be. I wish I had run after all.
