On the 20th of June, four students (Cody, Brock, Josie and Holly) were selected to travel to Monash Primary School with Mrs. Bretag (Principal) to attend the Bluearth Student Leader Forum.

While we were at Monash, we met a lady named Jean Blaydes. She was from Dallas, Texas. You could tell she was from Texas because she had an American accent. She taught us a lot about how our brain works and how exercise is really important and crucial.

After the event finished we thought about the whole thing. This is what we think about it.

"It was a great experience for all of us, and hope to do it again next year, but I can't because I go to high school next year." Cody.

"Jean Blaydes was quite interesting and while we were at Monash, we did three dances. They were called the Soul Man, the Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble." Brock.

"It was an awesome day for me and I wish to do it again. I hope everyone can experience this someday." Josie.
