Yesterday we had our cross country carnival. It was held at the sports ground near our school,coburg athletics track. Children have been training for weeks for the carnival. We arrived at the sports ground at nine thirty in the morning. The age races were run first of all. Lucy Vincendese was the 10 years girls champion, Anthony Vincendese came fourth in the 10 years boys race while Saeed Abdul-Waheed came sixth. Natesho and Yahya ran very well and may have even won if they didn’t trip over their own feet. When we got back to school all the results were checked. It was a very tiring day but we are all looking forward to next years carnival.
