Cross Country

"St. Francis! St.Francis! St.Francis is the Best!" we proudly chanted as we made our way onto the slippery field. The other whanau houses began to pile in but at the same time a dark and gloomy cloud was hovering over our heads. Miss.Mules grabbed the microphone and talked us through what we would be doing and how things were going to work. "The first ten people to cross the finish line will earn a point for participating, they will also get extra points depending on what place they come" she powerfully declared with an emphasis on the line "First Ten People".

The five year old girls were up first, the five year old boys were next and were being warmed up by Miss.Chaney. The little girls took their place at the starting line. "On your marks. Get set. Go!" Miss.Mules exclaimed.

Game On!
