School Cross Country



On Friday it is our school Cross Country.  It is to be held at Rabbit Island and we will be travelling there and back by bus.  The postponement date is for the following Friday.  If you are unsure of the weather on the day, you can ring the office to check. We will leave school to get on the bus at 9am and will be heading back to school around 12 lunchtime.  You are most welcome to take your child home after the cross country from Rabbit Island, but please let Mrs Trolle or Mrs Howley know so we can mark them off our list.

The children will need:
*To wear their PE gear and running shoes to school (with their warm school polar fleece) and some track pants.  No bare feet!
*They can bring an extra jacket and/or rain coat.
*Their packed morning tea and lunch and a large drink of water.

An approximate timetable for the morning is:
9.45am  5 year old warm up (6 year old warm up and race)
10.05am 5 year old race (6 year olds begin activity rotations)
10.25am 5 year olds begin activity rotations

*If you would like to see all age groups and their times, come and have a look at the timetable on our noticeboard in Hui Space.

The activity rotations are 20 minute sessions with a teacher (a game, a morning tea break, etc).  They keep the children entertained and busy for the morning after their race.

You are most welcome to come and support us on the day.  Mrs McQuillan is always looking for any parents to help with set up/pack up or standing out on the course to direct the children.

Please come and see us if you have any other questions :)
