Cross Country by Ishwanka

Last Thursday it was Cross Country Day.  I ran in the year 4 girls' bunch.  I came 18th.  I wasn't keen on that place.  It was kind of disappointing for me.  A girl called Carissa came in first place.  I wanted to be 2nd.  First the year 5 girls ran then the year 5 boys ran.  Next year 4 girls ran then the year 4 boys ran.  Next the year 3's ran.  All the runners had to step in the mud.  It was slimy and filthy.  Mrs Cater threw hose water on us.  We all got wet.  I was puffed at the end of the race.  We had to jump over obstacles.  We went around the whole school.  It was an ideal Cross Country day
