Cross Country

Cross Country 

Ready, Set, Clap… and off we all ran. Chasing behind one another being careful not to tread on other and not to be trodden on. For the first 40 meters I was following behind Holly, Holly, Piper, Jess and Brooklyn, around the bottom field around the middle one and up the top all following each other like a herd of elephants. Around the top of the top field I overtook Jess and Brooklyn and when I went down the hill I got in between 20 meters of overtaking Piper. I went around the bottom field and into the forest my breaths coming out quick and sharp. Once I was in the forest I quickened and started to quieter my steps like a cat stalking on its prey aka overtaking Piper.

Out of the forest and into the daylight my eyes still adjusting all I had to do was go up around the middle field and down around the bottom so I kept on running ignoring the pain in my stomach the stitch that was splitting in two and separating on each side. Almost at the end and I was ready for it to be over so I picked myself up crossed the finish line not caring if I beat Piper, once I crossed the line I was feeling drained so walked over to my bag packed up congratulated Holly and Holly got my brother and sister and my dad drove Finn and Lily and I home I got some food then went to bed and woke up at 7:00pm. Overall I was very proud that I had completed 3 km and that I was going through to tri schools.

Boy In Striped Pyjamas

This Is My Popplet Of All The Characters I have Discovered So Far In The Book: 

Mt Richardson

Mt Richardson

At 8:30am everyone got loaded onto the bus and around 9:15 we arrived at Mount Richardson. I was feeling nervous and wanted to go back to bed. We numbered off, I was number six then we headed off onto the track. At around 11:00 we stopped for a morning tea break, it felt like only a few seconds before we were off again. My legs were beginning to ache, at one point the the slopes were staying at the same angle making me regret my decision. 

I kept pushing onwards wanting to achieve my goal and reach the top. Soon my water bottle became empty. "Hi Emma" said Annabelle once I had reached the top which took forever, I then plonked down on the ground beside my friends Holly, Annabelle and Anna. Holly, Annabelle and I took a photo by a sign on the top of the mountain. It was easy going down as it always is I definitely thought that I would have a long sleep, when I got home I went to sleep and didn't wake up till 6:30 pm. Overall it was really challenging and fun and I'm thankful I won't have to do it again.

The Boy In Striped Pyjamas

This is the book that I'm currently reading with Jess, Alex, Samuel, Hayato and Marcus.

So far I have read up to chapter five and I'm enjoying the book. At the end my group might possibly watch the movie.
