Escape From Kraznir

In our writing group we have been doing something called Escape From Kraznir. Our teacher has set slides on what to do on what days. Instead of doing quick writes we have to do Kraznir. We have to complete it by the end of this term. I am up to chapter 2. On different days we do different things.

On our first day we have to escape from the castle with the chest and start your way down what ever path you chose. On the second day you choose what you want to fight. There are more days but it will take to long to explain.

I enjoyed doing it for the first chapter and then it got a bit less fun. 

Cross Country

Today was our real cross country day. My competition was Nellie, Miriam and Ruby but there are three other very fast people though. I got seventh overall out of 18 including myself. Our whole school went down to the course. 

The year 6s have to go first because we have to longest race. It goes girls then boys though.                

Everyone cheers including the parents when you run past them. Once I had finished I felt like I could hardly breathe. 

At the end of the race everyone was so happy because cross country was over. I was glad that we were first because then it was over and done with. Here is a photo.

Cross Country Training

Next week we have cross country. Cross country is a long run that everyone at our school has to do. We all have to walk from our school to the cross country course were we will run along the sand dunes in our year groups. The first 5 people get to go to the interschools and compete for our school. If they get a placing out of the whole of gisborne that means that you are one of the best in gisborne. We have to do 2.5 laps when we are on the sand dunes but when you do it at interschools it is 3km. At interschools it is along a grass track with obstacles. We have been training alot! I am feeling quite good about getting
in the first 10.

Houora Cube

This term (term 3) our inquiry topic is Hauora Health and physical well being. We had to do a cube about  different things like what we do for our health and well being, what we believe, sports that we do and what we do as a family. Here is mine.
