Dancing in Mandarin

Today we were very fortunate to have a performance in Mandarin today.  This is a traditional dance that we learned last week with the intention of performing it this week!  Well done girls!

Cross Country

I went to school in mufti clothes. I was excited. My mum was cheering at me. I was running in the mud. It was fun. It was a big race. I had to run around the whole school once. Then we had to run around the field two times. It was challenging by people running in front of me. I was very close to the end and I saw everyone who was in front me. I was at the finish line. I came in fifteenth place. I was determined.

Last week we read a book called Spanish Omelet.  Our follow up was to create a recipe of our own - we could think of a recipe that we already knew or we could create our own recipe!  We had to think of what ingredients we needed and how we could tell other people how to make these recipes.

It was Thursday when it was cross country.  I was in the cross country but I didn't come first, second, third, fourth or fifth.  I probably came 16th.  First the Year Two boys went.  Ted came first for the Year Two boys.  Then the Year Two girls went but I don't know who came first for Year Two girls.

I felt happy because my mum was cheering when I ran past here.  I had to smile when I ran past her and I could not stop smiling.  My mum came with Liam.  Liam is only three weeks old and he is a baby.  There was squishy mud under my runners.  I almost came last.  When I got to the hub, my runners were all muddy as I had been running in the mud.  Madi was running in the cross the country so she was taking photos of us.

On Thursday I was standing on the grass with Madi.  We took photos of the learners running past.  They were faster than me.  I look some sweet photos.  I got a sweet photo of Keira and Scarlett running past me.  I knew who would win - Emma.  She is so fast!  Emma came second, Sarah came first and Anna came third.

When I came to school it was cross country.when it was my turn to run, I sprinted at the start, jogged in the middle and sprinted at the end. When I crossed the finish line I felt amazed because I had tried my hardest.

I am a year 3 and the year two boys were first. Out of the year two boys race Ted came first place. Then it was the year two girls race. The year two races was a bit slow then it was my turn the race was the fastest race out of all the races.  I did not get muddy at all. When the whistle blew everyone in the year 3 boys were running like goons. I was so fast at the end and the start.  At the ending there was not a lot of year 3s. When the year 3 girls went they were slow at coming back. I felt happy when I came back from the race .  I was very tired after the cross country and it was long. We had to do two half laps. I changed into my uniform.

Today I went to school for cross country. When I went to school I felt nervous.  Then I went to line up for cross country. It was time for the year three boys to go.  We ran three and a half laps. At the beginning everybody rushed to the finish line like a racing car. I was puffed out but I said to myself keep on going.  Then I came eighth it was a hard race. I heard a lot of cheering you had to get two marks before you finish. If you were first,second or third you got a certificate at assembly. Blue certificates were for first, yellow were for second and red were for third.

When it was start of the race I was squashed by a lot  of people and I felt frustrated. When the whistle blowed everybody ran like a bunch of bulls. The mud was splashing on me like hard rain drops. When I was on the mountain my legs were all sore. Then I saw people cheering.When I reach Mr Hessian I was kind of puffing so I went jogging up the hill. When I reached the concrete I felt exhausted.I tried to run but I was too puffed. When I reached the finish line I felt happy and my breath was not puffed.

When I started running I saw so many people sprinting and I was like "There is no way I am coming first, second or third." There were red flags and parents to guide me. There were not too many people behind me. I was being so determined. It was so hard because I was stopping a lot. When I was on the second lap I was saying to myself "Come on I am so close." I was pacing myself so I don't get too tired. When I saw Mr Lewzey at the finish I was like "yes because I finished the course and I didn't come last!"

On Thursday it was cross country. There was loud music and lots of people. It was like a school fair. Time went so fast that I nearly thought it wasn't our turn. I felt nervous and scared but still excited. Then I heard the whistle. I ran as fast as I could but then I realised that if I ran slower at the start I could go super fast at the end. So I just jogged. Then I got to the squishy mud it felt like stepping into a pile of wet leaves. I ran over the mound and around the field and onto the rocky path that felt like I was in a tunnel of rocks. I did one lap because I got one vivid mark on my hand. Then I went around the school again and heard people screaming. I did the last half and I was relieved and I got 10th place. I was happy because I did the run.

At the beginning of the race people rushed like meteors. People sprinted and puffed. Grass got stomped on like we were giants. The fierce wind blew like splashing waves. We climbed the hill. We bashed onto the rocky pathway on the hill. We ran like lightning strike to finish our first lap. We sprinted to finish our second lap. Then we rushed like bulls acting we saw red. Everybody zoomed to reach first place. We reached the finish line. I felt proud of myself because that I finished.
