Cross country

Yay! It was cross country.  We went to Bill Brown park.  Our whole school went together in buddies. Yeah! we were nearly at Bill Brown park.  My buddie was from room 6. 
I was so nervous about my race but when we got there then I felt better.
Yes! It was my turn.  When we all lined up bang! Mr Greer closed the clapeer.  I zoomed off so fast that I was tired like a sleepy owl but then Thomas and Nikau zoomed! they passed me so I had to start running faster.  Then I passed Janade, rats! but not Nikau and Thomas.  Then janade caught up to me and we had a tie breaker.  All the parents and students were cheering us on. 
I loved jumping over the hay stack because it made me go faster.  I felt nervous and happy. 
My favourite part of my day was running like a cheatah.
