Cross Country

Guess what our school did last Wednesday? Yup, we did cross country. Cross country is just a running race but every year we get longer tracks to run. I was in Takitimu.


This year our track is a little bit dangerous, I was absolutely terrified when I saw it. The track was very rocky and shelly. Most of all it had lots of calm shallow ponds and crocked bridges.


I was very nervous and scared, I wondered if I can even finish the race. When we got to the starting line I was shacking. When Mr.Burt clapped his hands we started to run, pass the first seniors and on the shelly paths. Zigzagging on the bridges and sharp paths, I was finally close to the finish line, I never thought that I could get this far.


Passing the fence and running to the finish, I was just relived that I made it. When I crossed the finish line I was huffing and puffing, inside I felt proud. When I looked back at what I did I felt like I had just finished a mission like in mission impossible

Spectacular New Zealand

The Rugby World Cup is bringing lots of tourists to New Zealand, but there is more than just a cup!

In New Zealand we are multi-cultural. Our indigenous people are called Maori, they are very in portent to our country.


We have lots of native animals in New Zealand. Most of them are birds our most unique animal is the Kiwi, they can not be in any other place in the world.

So if you are here to see some the 48 World Cup Rugby Games, remember to also take time out to inspect more of our stunning country.
