Cross Country

Term 3 is the term for cross country running at BBPS. We do training during class time to prepare for it. Some classes have their own challenges within class. We have a school fitness track, which we use for training and for the school cross country competition.

The school cross country competition is held in year groups. Each year group is required to run a certain number of laps of the fitness track. We all sit in our whanau groups and cheer for our whanau. At the end of the year group competitions, we have a whanau event where we get to run in fun ways. It is great seeing the big and small children running together.

Three words; fun, hard and challenging.
