The Hutt Central School Cross Country Run Off

Go Cross Country! 

On Friday the 24th of May, Hutt Central School walked to Sladden Park and had a cross country run. 

Before school I had an energy breakfast. My energy breakfast was spaghetti on toast. Mmm, yummy!

We took our morning tea, a warm jersey, a big drink bottle filled with water, and we also took our sketch book, pencil case and our refill pad in case we wanted to keep busy while we waited for our race.

First it was the new entrant class.  Then the juniors (year 1 and 2) and then it was the middles - me!

I ran in the year 4 girls race.  I think I started off a bit too fast, because when I got about half way I was getting very very puffed.  But I kept running. I could see my friend Eva in front of me.  When I was on the second to last straight I saw my Grandad and he said, 

"Go!  Keep running Belles!"

I did keep running and then I saw Mum.  She took some photos.  She said;

"Good running Belles, you're aweome, keep going, keep going!"

Bailey just passed me at the finish line because I went the wrong way.  But it doesn't matter because I came 7th which means i might get to go to southern zone!

At the end I was very puffed. But I was proud of myself because I came 7th, and also because I ran the whole way, which was a very long track, without stopping or walking.  

The 2013 Cross Country for Hutt Central School was pretty awesome. 

Button's - my cat!

My cat Button's is very cheeky.  She sneaks in to my room at night and jumps on me when I'm sleeping.  

I think that my bed is one of her favourite places because when I go to bed every night, she is already there waiting for a scratch!

Christmas at my house

The night before Christmas I left Santa some chocolate chip cherry biscuits.  I left Rudolph a carrot and some water.  The other reindeer got some reindeer food made with rolled oats, glitter and a chocolate kiss for Santa (I hid that for him!).

On Christmas morning I woke up at 5.30am! I went and got my brother Ashton and we raced to Mum and Dad's room. 

The first present I saw in my sack under the tree, was an elf hat! I felt excited when I opened my presents. My favourite presents were my purple camera from Mum and Dad, my cricket ball from Ashton, and my Pillow Pet from Santa.  I also got a Minnie Mouse top, a Pandora charm that looks like a present, and lots of Smiggle things from Nannie and Granddad.


We went to Aunty Jac's house and had a spa and some morning tea. 



Then I went with Mum, Nannie and Aunty Jac to see Great Nana at her rest home.  She is 98 and thinks I am a teenager!  She likes to eat chocolate mallowpuffs!

We had Christmas dinner at Nannie's house. I was boiling hot when we got there! Dad brought the slippery slide so Harri, Josh, Ashton and I could cool off and have a tummy slide!

For dinner we had lamb, roast potatoes and salad. For pudding we had ice cream, brandy snaps and trifle.

I really enjoyed last years Christmas and I can't wait till this years!
