My recount on Cross country

 2014 Cross Country

 

On Friday 22^nd August, Saint Peter’s Catholic School had their school cross-country; there were parent’s teachers, family, friends and students. This was it, a 3k run for the year 7s at Lake Te Kutu Park, WHAT A CHALLENGE!

As the clap!!! went it was an adrenalin rush for the year 7 students. After about 20 or so minutes I was in sight of the finish line. It gave me a good feeling after the painful, difficult run.

Seeing the finish line was great because the hills we had struggled up and the rocks we stumbled on were enough for me. It was like I couldn’t handle it any more; well that’s what my body was saying all right.

Go Tia!!! Go!!! I thought to myself but it was actually the St Anne’s team saying Go!!! Go!!! Go!!! , It gave me even more off an adrenalin rush. It was an amazing feeling to be able to have other people supporting me, as well as my friends.

Finally “YES!!! “ I thought to myself, “I’ve done it, I’ve come 5^th out of the year 7 girls.”

It was such a great feeling to have and it’s not like I cared about getting a certificate, because I had a great time and a lot of fun doing the run by myself, even with no friends running with me at all.

So to conclude my cross-country experience, I had a great time and enjoyed the whole lot of it. Mr. L and Mrs. Gordon did a great job together doing the amazing job of organising it .

Oh don’t forget Go St Anne!!! .

Mighty 11's Ausralia

 Mighty 11's - Australia

We were based in Macarthur Sydney; we travelled to Liverpool for a club day but stayed in Macarthur. The final day was on the second of June, the day before we got home. This was a tragic day for the New Zealand ‘Mighty 11’ team.

After the final race we were worried and wondering what was going to happen. Had we won? Had we lost?

The teams thinking was driving the parents mad and crazy.

Finally, after the 30-minute wait we got told to walk up to the ramp. It was a debating mind game. We were going crazy! We were losing it. What was happening? It was the team thinking to hard, over thinking more like it.

Then the results were announced, No!!! We lost! It was a disappointing moment. We worked so hard. What had just been announced?

So it was a tragic day but we did our best and we didn’t give up, and we all worked as a team.

It was a great trip and I would do it again.

Avantidome Work Day

                            Avantidrome Work Day 2014

It was raining outside and muggy inside.I was asked to vacuumed the stairs to the top floor, so I set of to vacuum what I had been asked to do.

  

About thirty minutes later I was at the top. It was a back pack vacuum and after I had finished my back started to hurt. 

As I walked down the stairs in pain I thought about home time and remembered I  hadn't had lunch and from working hard I was quite hungry and thirsty.
 "I Think I'm going to get dehydrated " I thought to myself. I needed water .

I heard a voice. It was Nicky. She told me to get a drink and have lunch. I was relieved.
What a day, I thought to myself. What a day!

Ash Wedensday

Today St Peter's Catholic School attended mass for Ash Wednesday the day after Shrove Tuesday and Pancake day.We had a lovely mass with some amazing songs sung by the very own St Peter's Catholic school and we had Ashes blessed on our forehead as a symbol to remind us that we have all sinned at some stage in our lives. It is now Lent which is 6 weeks before Easter and this is to be a time that we prepare for Easter.
