Dear Leanne Warren

Thank you for taking us to Te Puna, Katikati, Waihi and Krangahake. And thank you for getting us an ice cream on wednesday. Thank you for giving up your time to take us on this fun trip and helping us with our tasks. We had a fun time with you and I enjoyed the train tunnel the best, but over the whole trip I loved the diving the best. if you didn’t come this trip would not be possible. This was the best trip so far in Intermediate. My group really enjoyed the trip. In the end we came 26th on Wednesday we came 16th on Thursday we came 26th on Friday. I liked the experience of going Diving and going through the train tunnel.After the amazing race I liked the park and the Beach Hop. All the cars were fancy.Thank you for providing transport for the amazing race

Dear Earth to ocean

Thank you for letting us use your pool & diving gear to have the experience to dive. It was a great experience & a great skill to learn. Diving is a fun sport to do. I think people that did the diving for the amazing race will most likely take it up for a sport. Thank you for lending us your experts to teach us to dive and keep us safe in the water. The heated pool makes it enjoyable on a wet and cold day. Diving was the best activity of the three days and the pool was set to the right temperature. Thank you for being there ready for us to come and for explaining the instructions clearly.

Maybe next time you should make the hoop bigger so its easer to get though? Other than that it was perfect.

Yours sincerely

Elly warren.

__Amazing Race Reflection__

WALT: Reflect on our experience of the Amazing Race

**Day one ** - Te puna, Kati kati, Waihi and karangahake Gorge. My team was Ella, Korben, kurtis and me. My team worked really well together on wednesday. We finished 26th the hardest activity was Te puna Quarry park.The scarcest thing was going though the tunnel if we had stayed together we wold of came 10 or 15th they were all waiting for me at the end.The matha mine we foun the question sheet easy with jonos help. kati kati was hard it took about an hour or two to do it. we were last to leave kati kati.we could of done that better. We finished 26th. Day two - Papamoa, kiwi 360, red woods, Te puia, a maze me. My team worked really well at the game on papamoa adventure park. At the kiwi 360 we got our fastest runner to go up the stairs and collect our clue. We worked with another group at the red woods and we got though it quite easily. Te puia we easily answered the questions and we got one wrong witch happened to be on the back of the map. A maze me it didn’t take us very long to do the maze we came 15th. **Day three ** Sulphur point marina, Sand fords fresh fish market, earth to ocean library art gallery master chicken culam park and the elms. I found this day the best i got to do diving, i didn’t like the fish lucky i didn’t do it. the diving was a great experience for me it was a quick activity. the fish and chips took too long and by the 24th group did them the 1st group had already finished. Day three was a big waiting day. once we got to the library we were moving faster. at the end we finished 26th after we rang the bell at the elms.

**Excellent reflection Elly. Nice honesty. I am glad you had a such an awesome time on the Amazing Race just remember to check your work and put your capital letters in the right places! Nice voice recording!** **Miss Crone :)** **This was an awesome opportunity for you and your class mates. Thank you to the teachers for the experience. Neat to hear the voice over. This peice of writing is better edited than some with regard to spelling, sentences and grammar - keep up the great work Ells. Mum.**

My brochure for aMAZEme





Good work Elly however you need to be careful with your spelling but other than that it is very good brochure. I like the layout but you may have wanted to put a background. Braydon:)

__14.4.11__ Why are Kiwis the best???

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


 * sed a variety of questions from the 7 servants
 * used a variety of open and closed questions to extract relevant information

Why are kiwis the best?

Kiwi are the best because we eat cool foods like fish & chips, lamb, beef and more. We go on holiday in Ohope, Waihi and Australia. We all look different some tanned and some not. We are well known for are sports like Rugby, Netball and football. In are spare time we tramp though the bush, we Fish, Play sport, we go to the beach we watch sport we cook food and we do a lots more. We come from New Zealand. We all have different clothes like some people like to were shorts and a t-shirt some people like dressers every one likes some thing different and kiwis don't judge you. Kiwis just rock!!  

This my mindommo map.



﻿Wow, I could sure use you skills doing this sort of stuff for my studies and exemplars! Clever. Mum.
