It was really nerve racking waiting for the clap sound to start the race but as you got started it was fine.
Sun shone brightly down on us and I felt the heat as I ran.

RUN RUN RUN , today Te Ranga school and Rangiuru School
were competing in the cross country .

At the starting line everyone was waiting. CLAP! the group was off sprinting down killer hill then racing to get up Jack & Jill hill. Children were trying not to slip down, running past
the water trough ,everyone was cheering as the kids ran past. Then it was on to the next paddock and up the hill. As you got to the top you ended up running straight down and so fast that you could hardly stop yourself . Children cheered as we ran up the last hill. Phew it was a long way. Straight for the finish line as the parents were cheering.

Young Leaders Conference in Rotorua

We went to Young Leaders Day on Monday the 11th of April. The guests who talked were very inspirational. It was my second and last year (boo hoo) but it was still great. The whole thing is about developing young children into young leaders. It was very funny when they congratulated us on being picked out and being recognised as young leaders but there are only 8 yr 7 and 8's in our school and we all get to go to everything no matter what. It was very educational and I recommend it to any other schools that want to go.
