What a year! 2018

This year we have come across some obstacles and bumps! With this, We have gone to a lot of places with historical features and we have also had a lot of fun. At the start of the year, we had two tournaments and we got split up into two groups on every tournament. The two tournaments were called, Pakanga and Rippa rugby, When our tournaments were running, We trained everyday until we had our strategies and our plans assorted. Our plan for Rippa rugby was to have a full back incase the guard dogs missed the runner. The two full backs were me and Jonas. Our plan for Pakanga were also to have two full backs which were the same. We took turns staying, full back and we were switching during the game to be the runners and the rippers. Our trip to Rotorua was puzzled but once again, so fun because we visited a lot of fun places, like the luge, gondola, skylines, villages,markets and many more things.  My favourite thing In Rotorua was The luge and the gondola, also the skylines, I also like motion entertainment and the markets. I liked the the gondola because it was high in the air. I liked the luge because you could feel the adrenaline pumping all through your blood! My dislike about that day was the skyline because it took long as to get to the top.

Our Rotorua trip!

Zephaniah and I collaborated and made a presentation including, what we done, photographs and our highlights.We had great fun in Rotorua, Hope you Enjoy!!

      My book review!

               TITLE:

                Tom Gates

This year, I have read a book called Tom
Gates. The main character in this story
is called  Tom. Tom has a sister named
Delia. He finds Delia, Boring and
Grumpy! He has an interesting best
friend named Derek, Derek is also
Tom’s neighbor and he has a dog
named  Rooster that is very hyper
and excited! Tom and Derek have
a clever way of communicating when
their either grounded or their too lazy
to walk to each other, They communicate
by making signs and writing whatever
they need or want to say to each other.
Tom’s dad’s name is Frank, and his
mum’s name is Rita. One thing that
they enjoy being neighbors is because
they run a band  and they do band
practise in Tom’s garage.
Their band name is Dog Zombies!
Tom gets distracted easily, Tom also
likes doodling, Well in our words
drawing. Tom and his teacher,
Mr Fullerman, are always at each
other's throats, Well not exactly but
Mr Fullerman has to always snap Tom
out of his day dreams. There is a hall
Monitor named  Marcus Meldrew,
Who hates Tom and whatever he does,
He also calls Tom, Gatesy.

My favourite part about this book
is when Tom and his family went to a
kingdom to have a family day out and
their day turned to absolute bordism.
They brought tickets for basically
nothing because there was the exact
same guard at each and everyone of
the activities, and he made them buy
new tickets wherever they went and  
when they did find a place that they
could enter, Tom and his mother got
lost in a maze and they rung the bell
so that someone could help them and
you wouldn’t guess who it was! The
same old body guard. The reason that
they weren’t allowed in the kingdom
activities was because they were
supposed to get there at 12.00pm
but they showed up at 1.15pm which
set them back in activities. Have
you been reading?

Tourist attractions in Rotorua

Do you know the many tourist attractions in Rotorua? Because I know a different variety of different tourist attractions in Rotorua and this is because I done some research about Rotorua and what some tourist attractions were in Rotorua, This work was assigned to us from Whaea Mary to find out the tourist attractions and I think she set this work up for us because the Year 7 & 8's are going on a trip to Rotorua on Monday! Here is my presentation about the tourist attractions in Rotorua and there is also information in there about what a geyser is!
