To finish off the year Room Nine competed against each other in an Amazing Race. It was amazing and awesome and I know all of Room Nine loved it. We started off at school where we were split into six groups; the Pinky's, the Shifty Bananas, the Great White Sharks, the Awesome Oranges, the Epic Ningers and the Blueberries. After the team names were sorted out we headed to the domain for the first challenge. When we arrived the first challenge was already ready. The challenge was to blow up all the balloons and then have one of your team mates sit in a wheelbarrow and hold the balloons in while another team mate pushed the wheel barrow through the cones. I was pushing the wheelbarrow for my team and it's not easy steering it through cones especially with one of your team mates in it! Other fun challenges followed, like eating a meringue with no hands, performing the chicken dance in public, guessing ice cream flavours, and speaking German properly. On what most people thought was the last clue we headed back to the domain where what seemed like a million more activities were. They were all fun exciting and tiring. The last challenge was a six legged race back to the school. As my team, the Pinkys entered the class, we realised we had won. Only just though. The next group arrived almost just after. Every one was tired at the end of the Amazing Race but it was a fantastic day and I am sure I'll remember it. Special thanks to Sally who organised this wonderful event and all the parents who came along and helped. We couldn't have done it without you.
