Cross Country 2017

Our School Cross Country

On Thursday it was cross country day. I was excited.
When Mrs Jones said, "Ready set go!",  I zoomed passed most girls who were running with me.
I got very hot!
 Everyone was cheering and clapping.
When I got back to the finish line I came 34th. I was exhausted!

Ollie's Cross Country

When Mrs Jones called out year 3 and 4 boys I stood up and walked to the starting line.
Mrs Jones called out "Ready Steady Go." We were off!
I jogged past the parents then over the hill I went. I was at the golf course! I was all most at the end when I walked up the hill.
I sprinted to the end.
I came 42nd and l was proud.

The Middle Team Trip

Quick, quick! I have got to get to school early for the Middle Team trip.
We lined up and we were put into groups with a parent. Then we walked onto the bus.
 Off we go to the Square. We had a treasure hunt and searched for some facts.
 Then we walked to Te Manawa and stayed in our classes. We went around each area learning and playing.
We drove up to Pork Chop hill that had a great view over the city a d around the university.
Off to the Esplanade for lunch. We walked to the Lido and had a swim. There is a bit were it pushes you. What will I do if I get sucked in?
Then we had a long drive back to school.
It was an awesome trip!

Note from Miss Tanner . . . .

In Room 7 we have been learning how to write recounts.
We write recounts when we want to inform the reader about an event. A quality recount tells the reader all about the event and uses detail.

When commenting please comment on how well Carter did this and something he improved on.
