On the 7th of May, the children in Years 3-6 ran the cross country course at school. At 9:30 a.m that morning we walked the course, from school up to Water Works Gully so we would know where to run. At 11:30, 3/4 and 5/6 ran the full course while K-2 ran laps around the oval. 5/6 had to run further than 3/4 so they ran past Water Works Gully and ran until they reached Mrs Savath.
K-2 had so much fun running laps around the oval. After they ran a few laps they sat down on the oval and cheered the big kids as they headed back to school.
We interviewed some people in the school:
How did you feel when the 5/6 students made it to you?
Mrs Savath said, “I knew they had run a long way and were exhausted. I was proud to encourage them all to keep going.”
How did you feel seeing all the kids in the school run past?
Mr Grey said, “I was extremely proud.”
How did you feel when you finished the course?
Brayden H said, “I was puffed out even though I’m fast.”
Xavier said, “I felt good and excited to go to District.”
Lilli’anna said, “I felt happy when I ran around the oval"
Tanner said, "I was happy to see my buddy (Olivia Wiggins) running to the finish line."
Arlen said, “I was glad to see my buddy (Zac Anthes) was alive.”
Cody said, “I felt proud, in making it to district.”
I think we can all say teachers were extremely proud to see their class cross the finish line and the students were all proud of themselves and their friends for making it through the tough run.
We love seeing our students get active.
