The Wrong Key

Hello

This Term we have to run our Cross Country track so we are ready to run competitively with other schools.
Its very challenging to run two laps but not every one has to, it goes like this.
Juniors run one lap and Seniors have to run two laps.
I like running the track but if you don't do your lap you have to run at lunchtime.
My goal is to be second or first,I believe I can do it with lots of practise.
Does your school do Cross Country?
I enjoy the challenge and the speed of running.
I have learned that a winner works for first place and you can't run a race once and expect to win.
We decided to make a video of us walking round the track but when we got to the gate we had the wrong key,
we got back here and decided to put the funny video on but it had stopped recording, so now we cant use it.
Here is a map of where we walked.

My hoiliday

   Taronga



In the holidays I went down to Taronga to see my family. On the first day we had bacon and eggs on toast that my Uncle made.We had brought my dog on the trip so we went to the beach so they could run around and have fun.On the beach me and my cousin had a sand castle building contest and I won.When we got home my cousin said that I could go on his scooter while he joined me on his ripstick. After 5 minutes of playing on the scooter I asked him if he could teach how to ride a ripstick.

But he said that we where leaving tomorrow so no.The next day me and my aunt took the dogs for a walk and the drove back home.

Apparently I was not paying attention.
