cross country

Last thursday Pt England school had their cross country run. The kids

were waiting and waiting for the races to begin. The sun wrapped it’s warm arms around me and it felt like I was melting like an ice cube. I saw the children wearing silly wigs and amusing costumes.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my house captains run up to the front of the crowd  cheering for their teams and all the children were cheering with them.  

Finally it was the year 4 girls turn. When I heard the  clapper I bolted across the starting line.

My legs were sore but I was still going until I got to the to the finish line.
