As we got to the court we saw everyone lined up in their age groups. We joined our age group, and waited. It was a beautiful day. The house captains were on the field cheering for their house. The house colours are Takitimu (yellow), Te Arawa (Red),Matatua(Green), Tainui (Blue).I'm in Takitimu.
Each age group went up the the start line and were let go to run their race. Its started off with the 5 year olds all the way to the year 8s. Time went very fast when watched the other kids run.When it was our turn to run we lined up on the starting line. All I could think about was running and how long it would take.”On your mark get set err err “ was the sound off the siren. Then we were off. Everyone started sprinting and i didn’t want to start of being last so i just sprinted to.
The hot blazing sun didn’t help it just made me feel really tired.The mud didn’t help it was slippery and muddy.
We even had the choice of going through the mud slide that Miss Walters and Mrs King was standing by and taking photos. There we all massive puddles full of water as we got further down the track. We had to do 2 laps.
