Whole School Cross Country 2014

On Wednesday the 28th of May, Tauriko school had whole school cross country at Waipuna park.

We all arrived at school before 8:20, ready to go to cross country. Everyones hearts were pounding and bodies were shivering from the cold. Ding, ding, ding went the bell, we all lined up nervously waiting to get on the bus.

When we arrived at Waipuna Park we found our house coloured flag and sat down with our team mates.
Suddenly Mrs Billington said “could all of the year 1s please make there way over to the starting line’.3, 2, 1 BANG! went the starting gun. The year 1s sprinted off in a second. All you could here was cheering from the sideline for each house colour.

In a split second the year 2s raced off. Most of the year 2s were back in a flash, the first person plunged over the finish line.
The years 3s, 4s, 5s races flew by.
Before you knew it the year 6s had shot off in a hurry, down the hills, around the bends, through the icy cold grass, up the killer hill, over the log and before you knew it they had crossed the finish line. Last but not least the Tall Poppies went to the starting line BANG! off they went.
Once the Tall Poppies had finished we packed up and lined up in our classes and got on the bus.

When we got back to school we had morning tea and watched the parent, teacher, student race. It was so funny to watch Mr Rikiriki give Miss Dravitski a piggy back ride across the line. After that we had a sausage sizzle, the sausages were really hot and a little bit spicy.

WOW! that was a marvelous end to cross country.
The best thing was that everyone cheered each other on and the sausage sizzle. Everyone tried their best and didn't give up even though they wanted to give up.
After that day we all went home tired.

Whole School Athletics

On Tuesday 19th November (Week 6) we will be holding our Whole School Athletics Day at Tauriko School. The Year 3 – 8 students will be competing from 9am in a range of athletics skills. The year 1 and 2 students will partake in a fun morning of run, jump and throw activities from 9 – 10.20 using the PAC and sounding grass areas of the playground. The whole school will then join together in the afternoon for sprint finals and relays. From our school event we will be choosing our top athletes from Year 5 and 6 in each event to compete at the West Cluster Athletics Day on Thursday 28th of November (Week 7). Hope to see you all there!

West Cluster Cross-Country

Last week we had 34 Year 4 - 6 students compete in the West Cluster Cross-country at Waipuna Park. It was a cold morning but the sun was shining and we gave it our best shot. There was a field of tough competition but we achieved some outstanding results. Our Tauriko team came second overall behind Greenpark, who only bet us by two points. I was so proud of all our runners and to see all the hard training had paid off. Well done everyone.
