The big cross-country race

All the kids competed in a cross-country race this morning.  It had been delayed from last term due to rain.

Here are all of the kids sitting on the new turf.  They are wearing their brightly-coloured pod t-shirts.


Then they walked onto the court.  See Amiri in the red?


They lined up, and then they were off!


We ran across to meet them as they rounded the front of the school.



After that they had to run around the school, loop around the neighbouring park, and then down the hill.  It was a kilometer, all told.  Four or five big kids ran with each of the younger groups as chaperones, to ensure that no one got lost.  While they were doing that, we scurried back down to the finish line.



After that great finish, I went out to give him a high-five.  I was so proud!

You ran a great race. I bet Mom and Grandpa were great at cheering also.
