Wiari's writing sample Tough Kid Challenge

 This is my Tough kid Challenge day 

Tough Kid Challenge!!!

Yesterday at 8:30 we were getting ready to go on the bus to go to the tough kid challenge in New New Brighton, once we were there I saw that there were 10 and around 4000 to 5000 kids there, as people were getting the change we were waiting for the race to start. But we had to wait for other schools to start the race before we could go. While we were waiting we saw a jump jam group do jump jam. Our school and other schools joined in jump jam, while jump jam was going on my favorite jump jam song came Ooh Eeh Ooh ah Aah Ting Tang Walla Walla bing bang. Then it was our turn to race the marathon and before we started batman was here to say are you guys ready to start, YES!!!, so we started the race, and there were some obstacles to go through.

1. The high jump mats

2. The mountain of  tires

3. Around a playground

4. Though the bouncy castle

5. Across the field

6. Though the woods 

7. Over three fences

8. Up and over the ropes

9. Through the water

10. Through the mud 

11. Over the rocks

12. Through the ground water slide

13. Over the mud pools 

Once we finished the tough kid-run we started walking to New Brighton for surfing lessons to be safe on the water, and how to be a lifesaver on the water.
