top team

last Friday we had an opportunity to participate in top team. In this event you are in teams competing against other teams. My favorite challenge was the sling shot, we had to sling shot a bean bag so the people in my team could catch the bean bag and then put it into a bucket. we only got five bean bags into the bucket and the other team got six but I still really enjoyed this challenge. We had seven people in our team they were Max,Me,Grace,Tu,Cooper,Jin Hee and Ebony, we were a really good team we worked really well together and we did our best to have fun. There was also a memory game and games that needed more than 3 people but I liked working with a team because the team I was in did not fight about who would do what and I was really happy about that.






If you were in top team what your favorite challenge be?

Tough kids

On 20 of November I went to an event called Tough kids it is about kids doing course wile doing a run.  There was over 50,000 kids it was crazy my school had lots of fun and i mean it there was lots of water and mud and the news on TV 1 was there we saw the big camera. my favorite obstacle was when you were walking in water and getting splashed by every one and there were lots of schools in cool clothes and had face paint on there faces they were just crazy the best thing was about the day being so perfect for tough kid and the music when we were warming up.

have you ever done tough kids before?

letter writing

Dear Father
This is my second day in Vietnam protesting for the war. All my university friends are getting ready  for the very big protest on Friday so I also have to get ready for the protest as well. There has been a lot of fights going on in the first few days and my friends are trying to get out of it but they say it is really hard to. There are soldier’s fighting right now so I have to talk to you when the fighting has stopped so I won’t know when that will be. I love you very much and miss you can please tell mother that I miss her and love her too.

From your loving daughter Zoe

Dear government

I am writing this letter because I think those New Zealand
soldiers who went to Vietnam should not be there because this is not
our war to fight in.
So I want to write this letter so that you will let the soldiers come home
and I will not stop until you do.
There are thousand of people who are just like me protesting for these
innocent people just let them come home.

Sincerely,

Zoe Newdick
