The Cross Country

The Cross Country Race

“Time to warm up boys and girls!” Mr Wesbonk shouted loudly. It was the year five boys’ turn. I was determined to get to the top five.

As soon as I heard the starting signal, I pushed off and ran as fast as I could on the sandy and uneven ground.

As I was on third position, the person in front of me fell down and I overtook him. For the rest of the race I ran as fast as I could, because I knew that he could overtake me any minute.

When I passed the finish line, my mum shouted, “Well done, Connor!”

Cross Country

First I shot along the sunny sandy beach.

Then I jogged across the long itchy grass.

Next I zipped through the strong brown

swaying trees.

After that I dashed past the orange cones

sticking up like mini mountains.

Finally I sprinted to the finish line and I felt great 

and very proud.
