Cross country 

We walked cazily over to the deck and Lined up in our year groups.

My stomach felt  like there was a pack of angry bulls trying to get out.

Then we watched as the year 6 girls slowly walked across the field and start there warm ups. After they had done the warm ups they all stared silently as they all looked glumly at the cycle mountain.

The hooter went and then before I new it they were leaving the field. After about 10 minutes the next race went and then the next and then the next. Finally it was the year 5 boys, we were so Nervous and so excited at the same time.
