All Blacks On Tour!!!

Well this morning I woke up to a surprise! My mum told me that the all blacks were in town, and she said I was going to see them. Actually I knew that they were going to be in town but, I thought that I wouldn't be able to go as both my parents had to work today.  But lucky me, my friends Mum said she would take me, which was really kind of her.
When we arrived at Rugby park it was manic, swarming with people all waiting to see their heroes the All Blacks. The queue waiting to see them was crazy long it took half hour of being squished and poked and pushed!

There they were Dane Coles, Ardie Savea, Beauden Barrett and Tj Perenara, all of them right there! How amazing is that they came all the way to Gisborne. They gave us a signed poster. Thank you All Blacks for coming, GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!

My Fun Weekend Away To Rotorua

Hi again, this time I'm going to tell you about our weekend away to Rotorua. We were ready in the car,
all packed ready for a long four hours drive.

 When we arrived to Rotorua we picked up my mum's new Liv embolden full suspension mountain bike. It's a really cool bike! After that we went to our hotel that we're staying in, It's called Holiday inn.


After we checked in we went mountain biking straightaway. The cool thing about the hotel is that you can ride from the hotel to redwoods to go mountain biking, which is really cool because it's much easier than driving there. When we arrived to redwoods we got on a shuttle to the top of the hill to get on to some of the trails that are hard to get up to because there's a big steep hill you have to rid up. When we got to the top we followed some people to the trail called Corners, it had really steep corners. After that trail we went up to the shuttle again, to a trail called eagle vs shark, a nice smooth trail with lots of berms and table tops. I think that's one of my favourites because it had a nice flow to it. It also had lots of table tops. At the end of Eagle vs Shark we went up the hill to ride B rude not 2 (it's actually how they spell it!) and it's fast flowing and a little bit of technical around the end, my mum really liked it on

her new bike.

 After a yummy breakfast, we went to go mountain biking again. To do some different trails. Me and dad went up to do a trail called Grinder. Grinder was a grade 3-5, and it has gnarly drop-offs. After Grinder, we went down to a trail called Rosebank. A trail with uphills and downhills and it had a gnarly drop-off at the end that was about 3 feet.

 I really can't wait to go to Rotorua again.

My fun trip to Auckland

Hi again, this is my blog post about me flying to Auckland by myself to visit my aunty's for the weekend. Hope you enjoy it.

It was Saturday morning and I was packing my bag, ready to board the plane. When we arrived at the airport, I had to put on this wristband and a necklace around my neck to enter the plane. When I scanned my boarding pass I hugged mum and dad goodbye. I was off, to Auckland!

When I arrived at Auckland my aunty's were waiting for me at the airport to pick me up. It was so great to see them because I have not seen them in ages. When got to the car I saw their dog in the boot. Their dogs name is Brook, Brook was meant to be a guide dog, but she didn't want to wear the coat that they had to wear, so she got rejected, then my aunt's adopted her and she turned out to be the best dog ever for them.

At lunch we went to Swashbucklers. Swashbucklers is next to the harbour. When we looked down at the water we saw too big stingrays that were just gliding on the water surface. I had some yummy oysters and a orange juice for lunch. 
Have you ever been to a maze? Well we have been to one, and it's called the Odyssey maze. It was so fun. First there was a wobbling maze and a jungle maze and there was even a hard mirror maze the funnest at the end was the noodle pool. It was like a big pool of noodles, and you jump in and it's really soft. After that we had dinner at this food court and I had dumplings. When we got home to aunty's house we watched the women's rugby. In the morning we watched the All blacks rugby and had yummy banana pancakes for breakfast.

In the afternoon we went to this place called Game Over. It was a go kart racing area, it was so fun because I raced two girls and they were so slow, I came first in my race. I love my aunty's so much. They've paid for everything for me and that was so special to me to spend time with them, it's been the funnest weekend i've ever had.

I am going to talk about what social activity is better for your body. I think the activity on the right is better for your body.
Because your getting outside.
Exercising by doing fun activities for your body to build fitness and build muscles and to get stronger and stronger.

The left activity is gaming, and it’s really bad for you because your just sitting there on the couch.
With a big screen and being on a screen is very bad.
For your eyes and it’s being pretty lazy just sitting there than getting outside.
You should not have too much time on there any way because too much is bad for you.

I think fitness is way better than screens because at school kids are on there computers all day.
And after school some kids go on their screens again, and they possibly have up to six hours a day.
Which is way over the recommended time for kids.

I am going to talk about what lunch box is healthier. I think the lunchbox on the right is healthier because it does not have any serious plastic packaging in it. Also all of the food is fruit and vegetables which are all full of good vitamins for our bodies. We need these good foods each day to help our bodies get stronger and to help our brains learn.

The lunchbox on the left, is full of food that is full of fat and sugar. These foods are not good for our bodies or our brains. They are treats but not to have everyday.

For our bodies to work at their best, we should have a balance of good foods, containing vitamins and minerals and we must drink plenty of water to keep hydrated.
