Dear Dad

Thank you for driving me & my group on all three days to the destinations and activities for the Amazing Race. I really enjoyed your company. I know you enjoyed it just like me. I loved filleting the fish & I really enjoyed the fish & chips at master chicken. Thank you for providing transport we couldn’t have done it without you.

Love

__WALT: Reflect on our experiences of the Amazing Race__ My group for the Amazing race was Conner (Rm 29) Rocky (Rm 41) & Liam (Rm 42)

Day one: Te puna - Katikati - Waihi - Karangahake Gorge

The thing I really liked was having my dad as the parent helper.I also really enjoyed the Te Puna quarry because it was really easy to find the pictures & we got out of there quick. I really hated the walk at Karangahake Gorge & going under the tunnel because I couldn’t see a thing. The best thing that we did on that day was the beach hop in Waihi.On that day we came 4th out of 30 teams.

Day two: Papamoa, Te Puke, Kiwi 360, Rotorua, redwoods, Te puia

What I really liked about day two was climbing the stairs at kiwi 360 because I have never been there before. On day two I really hated the orienteering because it was really hard and we got stuck & lost in the park. We came 12th on the second day which was pretty good.

Day three: Sulfur point marina, sand fords, dive center, earth2ocean, master chicken, kulim park, art gallery & the elms

On friday I really enjoyed the fish & chips at master chicken & I really liked going to the art gallery to discover stuff about Lynley Dod. What I didn’t like about friday was the waiting in lines & having to get stopped all the time. On that day we came 17th. Overall on the Amazing race we came 4th.

**Excellent reflection Dave. Fantastic honesty. I am glad you had a such an awesome time on the Amazing Race. Nice voice recording too!** **Miss Crone :)**

It makes me want to go there, also you picked a very good map that I can see where to go! Ella.

**L.I. We are learning to develop effective questions and draw conclusions from our findings.**

S.C. We will have

__ Thursday 14th April __ Why Kiwis are the best  New Zealand is the best country in the world because they have different cultures. New Zealand has the best Rugby team & the best Netball team in the world we are one of the top sports countries in the world. Also New Zealand has a great scenery any where you go in New Zealand you will really like the scenery.Kiwis really like camping out in the bush and going to the beaches & like to take holidays around New Zealand & overseas.
