Avery was very excited to start his last year at Derby Grammar. His class of 8 boys from last year has grown to 15 so there is much change to come. School started on Thursday and on Friday evening the school held it's annual Cross Country. We were all very excited to see how Avery would perform in the race. He does love to run, but usually short distances.
We told Avery to pace himself, to not come out in front right away and burn all his steam early. The race was probably about a half a mile long. Going against everything we told him, Avery took the lead right away, and continued in the lead for quite some time. There was a moment when one of his clasmates started to pass him on the last lap and Avery got this determined look on his face that was priceless.
Avery continued on, out steaming his opponent and triumphantly finished first in the race! We were so excited....it was the perfect start to his school year.

The boys then continued on with the Tug-of-War, which Atkinson house placed 2nd in Year 6. A very enjoyable evening for the Belangers!
