Christchurch Travel

Do you want to know where to go in Christchurch? Well you have came to the right place I'm going to tell you some of the best places in central Christchurch. First off if your looking for a good place to stay I say go to Omaka Scout Camp not only it's a great camp with heaps of enjoyable, family friendly equipment it is really close to Christchurch. First I suggest you go to the botanic gardens and see the conservatory with all the pretty flowers. Next up you should go to the Art Gallery and go up stairs and get lost in amazing artwork. Then I suggest you go to the Tram at stop 10 and get off at stop 17 and go to the Margaret Mahy Playground it's a great place for the kids and parents to hang out it's state of the art toilets and equipment. Next go back to stop 17 and get off at stop 4 and look at the Bridge Of Remembrance, this is a good place to have lunch because of the Re-Start mall. Then I think you should go to Quake City and learn about the 2011 earthquake and other earthquakes another cool thing at Quake City is the make your own earthquake. Then if your up for a walk you can go to the Cardboard Cathedral and see all the cardboard cylinders. Also you could go to the Canterbury Museum and go through time and then to top it all a lovely walk through the Botanic Gardens.

After that we went out to the sandbar and along the way we pasted a warf and saw some interesting boats:

Book review

In the last few weeks I have been reading Uncollected Volume one by Paul Jennings. It's a great book a great way to past the time and get lost in a book and the great thing is that it's not just one book it's 16 short story's in one book! The story's range from happy to sad but they always make you smile. Overall I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My speech!

On Tuesday Team East had to do their speeches but unfortunately I was terribly sick so I did it on Thursday, my speech was about Antarctica (the video is below) I chose this topic because I always liked Antarctica but Antarctica was such a big fan topic so I narrowed it down to why I chose the topic what I'll do in Antarctica, what to take and how to get there.

High Ropes Day

High Ropes Day

On Friday the 3rd of June all the year 8s went to the Groins to complete a William Pike challenge. When we arrived I was feeling extremely excited about climbing but also feeling nervous because I am a bit afraid of heights. I don't know why but I feel more comfortable and safe climbing trees without a harness but get very nervous and I sorta get frozen in place when I stop climbing on a climbing wall with a harness.

But now I know what you're thinking “come on how high can it be??” Well…… The answer to that is very high, very very very high and all four of the climbing walls are the same height. The names of the four walls are the giant ladder, the vertical play pen, the floating islands, the horizontal pole (I call it the angle pole because it was on a angle) and last but definitely not least the Flying Kiwi.

My most proud moment was when me and my friends/teammates got past a certain point on the giant ladder when Hayato (who is terribly afraid of heights) couldn't get onto the next pole and I had to get Hayato onto my knee so he could climb up and the poles are not very wide and so I almost fell off the whole ladder, after Hayato got up to the next pole he wanted to come down so then it was just Benj and I on our own.
