Cross Country

Last Wednesday it was the big race at school  because it was the School Cross Country . The 7 year old boys had to run around the track on the field two times.  We had to jump over hay bales and run beside the cones. Tukitahi was leading most of the way and I was coming second.but I just kept running and Tukitahi slowed down and I past him.  I sprinted over the finish line.  I was first!  I was feeling tired but happy.   Room 10 kids were cheering me on. Mum and her friends were cheering me on too.
