Everyone was screaming and cheering for their house. On Friday 24th August was Halsey Drives muddiest cross country. It was a perfect sunny day but the mud was so bad since it had been raining so badly for the last few days. Children of all ages cheering for the people in their house and their friends, parents, caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and younger or older siblings came to cheer on the children.

The mud smelled like cow poo and made the children scream and in some places the mud was all watery. One or two races after their race, everyone's muddy feet started to feel tight. To get rid of the mud some people used the water from their bottle to clean their feet.

Sauwarna said she was nervous because she thought she would come last and she said the mud was squishy and cold. Sanah felt really proud that she had come first and was also feeling nervous at the start of the race. Her feet were burning under the heat of the rocks and the mud felt really disgusting and  squishy. Anoushka from room 9 said that the mud was really cold and squelchy and she hated it it also smelled like poo and it had smelled the samelast year.

Finishing in first place  for the year four boys was Dylan Wakefield and coming a close second was Aryan Raniga . The year four girls  had a close tie with Sanah Raniga coming in first place, Georgia Hamblyn coming in a close second and Ashley Simpson came in third place.

Overall, Halsey Drive had a lovely time at cross country and enjoyed the ice blocks with their friends.SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!
