I think we should still have Cross Country because it keeps kids nice and fit, also healthy. It is good for people who may not do much exersise out of school.
Cross Country is also a great challenge for the Team B students especially, because if they get in the top six they get to go the West Coast round, and also some of them get the oppurtunity to go to the Canterbury round. One of the other reasons that it is challenging, is because it is quite a long way and sometimes you get quite exhausting. It it also great for Team A for when they are older so that they can get into the other rounds.
For the sportier kids, it is great practice for when they do other sports especially when you jump over different obstacles on the course.
Cross Country is a great idea for kids who don’t like the ordinary school subjects like reading, writing and maths because they get the oppurtunity of getting outside for a run.
If you don’t do cross country but you like doing things like, for example, tramping/hiking, it builds up your fitness for when you do those types of activities.
Hi
ReplyDeleteYou have written some good ideas for why we should have cross country. I knew you would agree with this topic as you love it and went so well in it the other day. I think you might need to read your arguments just to check whether the ideas you are trying to get through are clear.
Hi Reagan, I enjoyed reading your persuasive piece of writing and can see that you really enjoy running. You have included some interesting vocabulary such as opportunity and challenging. Next time you could make sure you give a supporting reason for each of your ideas such as jumping over the obstacles is great practice for sports people who participate in netball and basketball as both of these sports involve lots of jumping.
