PE News
Good Afternoon,
The kids have been practising the cross country course at their own pace. While some have been focussing purely on the running, others enjoyed the obstacles put out just for fun.
CROSS COUNTRY
The school cross country carnival is racing up on Tuesday 14th March. All Year 3-6 students will be running laps of a 1km course while the P-2 students will run a 500m course. The expected distances and program is as follows:
8:50: Yr 3-6 arrive on oval. 12yrs warm up.
9:15: 3Km Boys & Girls 12yrs DOB 2011
3Km Boys & Girls: 11yrs DOB 2012
2Km Boys & Girls: 10yrs DOB 2013
2Km Boys & Girls: 9yrs DOB 2014
1Km Boys & Girls: Yr3, 8yrs DOB 2015
FunRun. 1Km Boys & Girls: 9-12yrs
Lunch
11:50: Junior students arrive on oval
500m Boys & Girls Yr 1
500m Boys & Girls Prep
1Km Boys & Girls (2x500m) Yr 2
The boys will start their race. The girls will line up immediately after and as the boys begin to leave the oval the girls will start. As one age group begins racing the next age groups begins warming up.
These times are approximate. The day may run earlier or later than expected. Parents are welcome to attend but I urge you to arrive early to watch your child’s race, rather than risk missing it.
Students age 9-12yrs will be offered the choice to either run the full 2-3km distance asked of their age or a single lap 1km Fun Run. The 2-3km distance will be timed, ribbons awarded and times may lead to attendance at the District Cross Country for 10-12yrs. The Fun Run will not be timed, there will be no ribbons but all runners will earn points for their house for participating and giving it a go. Students in year P-2 will be receiving participation ribbons and will all earn points for their house.
On The Day
Family members and friends are welcome to come and cheer on their child/ren during their races.
- Students need to come to school prepared with:
- House shirt and shorts
- Appropriate footwear
- Sunscreen
- School sun safe hat (students do not have to run in their hats but they must wear them when not racing)
- Plenty of water and food.
Helpers
I will need parent helpers on the day to supervise a section of the course. I will rotate you around so that you do not miss any of the action. Please email me on cxmar5@eq.edu.au if you are willing to help.
Congratulations
