School Cross Country

On Friday the 1st September, Fitzroy school held a cross country at Peringa Park and on a paddock through the trees. In the paddock there was lots of cow poo and thorns. We walked from school to Peringa Park at 10:30am and finished at 2:10pm that was 3 hours and 40 minutes, wow that’s long.
The 5 year olds had to run 2 laps of the soccer fields, 6 year olds had to run one lap of all of Peringa Park, 7 years had to run 2 laps of Peringa Park, 8 years had to run once around Peringa Park then a lap of the paddock, 9 years ran 1 lap of Peringa Park then 1 lap of the paddock then another lap of the Peringa Park, 10 year old boys and 11 years did 1 lap of Peringa Park 2, laps of the paddock then another lap of Peringa Park.
On the day some Taranaki rugby team players came with the Ranfurly Shield to show us. We’re lucky.
