N.Y.L.D 2012


On the 28th of May 2012 Muritai Schools Year 7 and 8 went to Nation Young Leaders Day on the bus. We left at 8.30am and got there at 9.30am we arrived and saw other schools waiting to come in to the hall to get to there seats. As we came in, two famous people that are presenters were hosting it and they were really funny.
First Nick Tuatasi came out and told us about bad things that have happened in his life includnig death and being stranded, and even some funny moments but what he was really trying to tell us was about SPARK.
 The second person was Jamie Fitzgearld who came and told us about how he set a world record for travelling to the north polewith his friend. What he said was, never let performance get in the way of safety, and how much effort have you put in.
 The next person was Cassandra Treadwell who told us about her charity in Kenya who helps kids that need help from war that has happened and she has built a school, orphanage and nursery. Her main ponit was, believe in yourself and others will to. 
The fourth person was Cam Calkoen who was my favourite out of all the five people, he is a famous runner for New Zealand but has cerebral palsy which is a type of disorder which causes brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. His main point is Dream big and achieve more. 
Finally we had was Dave Akinson who was really cool. He made a penguin out of a banana. His main points were, to stick up for what's right, choose good friends, and live for others. After that we went back to school and I went home and told my parents all about it and I am definately going there next year!

Buddies!! =)

Buddies
 Every Friday, Room 22 go across the road to our buddies in room 5. We do spelling, reading and playing games with them. My buddy is called Seren. She has blonde hair and is English. Sometimes she is a bit hard to control because she is so crazy and cheats on her spelling tests. Her best friend is called Sarah who is Ella's buddy.  I love spending time with our buddies because we get to relax and have a good time with them. It is really great because we get to do fun art with the and them with their work. I love going to buddies and helping them out!
