The Cross Country at Point England School. Years One to eight Children are preparing for a Massive run by running everyday.

Team four is the most serious about getting fit for Cross Country. They run about one kilometer everyday single day and they do it twice. The year 5 and 6 kids do it before Morning tea and some come back in time to have their lunch but some are not fast enough to have lunch. Some are getting really fit but some are just lazy.

Here we have Katarina from Point England School to tell us what she thinks about Cross Country this is what she had to say “ Its fun because we get to race our friends but its boring because we get tired”. I asked Katarina what she thinks about running everyday for the Cross Country and she said “Sometimes I want to do the run and sometimes I don’t”.

We asked one of the children where do they go for their Cross Country Run. Here we have Ariana to tell us “so Ariana where do you go for your Cross Country?”  “ Well I follow cones that are on the ground” Thank you for your time. The Cross Country track starts from the start of the field and run down all the way to the Point England Reserve around the field and back only the year five to six do this. The year one to four run around the field.

At the end of the Cross Country the winners from year one to eight will go on to the in-zone championship and will run more races.
