Crazy Cross Country

This week we had our LAST ever V.A.S. Cross Country!

We ran...and ran....and rannnn....and then we did a quick sprint!

2km's down and we had the first three places for the boys Year 6 run. First, second and third!

Check out our photos, can you spot someone you know?


Best thing to do before a race is relax! 




 Deep in thought pre-race.










Adoring fans watching the runners
I think I can win, if I concentrate really hard I think I'll be the fastest...




KOStable Gordon off for the fourth time today...

Warming up... 













First, second AND third!

Woohoo! Congratulations to all of the runners and their supporters!

NZ's new flag


New Zealand is heading to a referendum about our flag.


What do YOU think? 

Should we change our flag? Why or why not? 


If we were to change our flag, which design do you like the best?
