Cross-Country

                                                        Cross-Country 

On Wednesday the 11th of September  it was Cross-country for Waikowhai Primary School. I'll tell you what us year 5's did! First we got to chill-out and play games. We got to play Somakalo and eat brownies or ice blocks. Next we got to do skipping! My favorite part was when I could do more jump ropes than Madison and Genevieve! I did 2000 n something! Next we did kicking for soccer. We had to try and kick in the goals from were the cone was. It was really hard to kick the balls into the goal! After that, we had goal keepers to try and kick the ball away from the goal. Next was the obstacle course! MY FAVORITE!!!! It was really fun! So first you had to bounce on the blue balloon all the way to the playground. Then you try to go under the yellow fish nets, then you grab a little ring hoop that has a knot, tied around the place! You had to untangle the hoop to get you to the black ropes. The black ropes its near the red bridge that leads you to flying fox... Which is also red... anyway! After you go across the black ropes you  jump over 5 Yellow cones. Then you go on the jungle bars (Which is Gray no Blue just gray) there are 4 jungle bars so you have to go across 4! After the jungle bars you hop on the mushrooms, there are about 3 of them and their color is Dark Red. Try not to fall on the bark or you get disqualified and go back to the Blue balloon to bounce on. Once you finish jumping on the mushrooms you go on the Silver ladder, Don't go through to tunnel go to the green slide or the Orange fire pole. Once someone is at the Green slide the other 2 kids have to do the same thing! after the pole or the slide you have to jump in these colored hoops. There are 5 hoops you have to jump into, when you've done you'll go and throw 3 Pink or Blue balls into 3 Green buckets full of bark and jump over 5 Orange bars. After the bars you have to climb over the Blue and Yellow rock climb. Then you have to run all the way back in the wet soggy mud. 
Next was the run we had to do the course 2 times around the whole school. I was pushing myself the whole time and I'm proud of that.
