About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

Cross-Country 2013

Wednesday 14th August 2013

Cross-Country Recount Writing
On Tuesday the 13th August 2013, Saint Pius X was having cross-country.  It was a big day for Saint Pius X children. The bell rang. It was time for us to get ready. I tried to fake my headache but I was in hard luck. So the school gathered in the tennis court and get ready for the race.

Firstly, the 12 and 13 years old ran. When Miss G banged the blocks I started jogging. When we got to the bottom of the hill I started to sprint up the hill. Then I got tired. I ran past Eneasi and Vililatai. I stopped. But they caught up with me again. So I was behind. Dawn caught up to me. So we decided to power walk together. Even though we were tired we power walked as fast as we could.

Finally we came to the finish line and I finished 2nd for the 12 yr old girls. I was so proud to come 2nd.

Finally, it was time for the junior syndicate cross-country. They were so nervous. While I was watching them, I was sad because I had to leave and the race was not finished yet. But I was happy in the inside because I came second in the twelve year old girls run.  It was a tiring experience for me.
