Silver Ferns Steal The Win 52-51

New Zealand had the chance to take the World Cup against Australia. I am extremely proud of them since they have stolen this win and taken the Netball World Cup. The Silver Ferns led by 28-25, by half time.

Australia didn't give up and sooner or later fought back. At this point Australia thought that they maybe might have just swiped this win, New Zealand held on and came walking out of the arena, The Champs.

Helping The Environment (Tamaki Estuary)

Monday the first of July marks the beginning of Ruapotaka's way of helping the environment.

This special moment took place at Tamaki Estuary. We first collected green and blue buckets to put our rubbish we collected in. We had to partner up with the children from Room 7 and my partner was Sefo.

We walked along the footpath and bridge searching for rubbish. Madisyn found a golf ball and had a bucket full of rubbish. When I saw all the buckets full of rubbish I was sure this river wasn't clean at all.

Design Brief

I have chosen to make a Jeep for myself. I think this is the best choice because I would approve of a moving object. It will be used to play with and trials will be held. Since it's a Jeep, it will be adequate to move due to it having wheels.

 I will most likely play with the Jeep at home and my sisters will play with it too. For this project I have to consider how to get the stairs right on my vehicle.

Our WET Adventure (Vero Whitewater Park)

Friday 21st of June marks the very first day I have ever done rafting or kayaking in my life. This special moment took place at the Manukau Vero Whitewater Park.  

My favourite part was swimming. We had a chance to jump off the plastic barrels and we later got pushed by the current and the big waves. Once we went past the metal stairs  we had to perform freestyle until we went to the stairs. We couldn't MISS it or else we would have ended up in the middle of the lake. 

White Ferns Lose To Canada

The White Ferns have lost to Canada and now have 14 games left in the women's world cup, although they have already lost two. In Grenoble the team lost by 2-0. Canada attempted 17 goals and only two got in.

The White Ferns only hope to have a chance against Cameroon, the next team they're up against.  

Hawke's Bay Apple Grower Starts Compostable Stickers For Apples

NZ was first to add compostable stickers to help improve the environment. The apples from the company wants to reel more compostable stickers next year. Although the compostable stickers are more expensive, Bostock hoped that the manufacturer would start using them. 

Current 52km Bike Trial Conductive To Otago

This new trail will be called The Lake Dunstan Trail. The first chunk is said to be completed by this summer, and it to be finished and opened by next year. This trial will be part of the $26 million dollar New Zealand Cycle Trial Project.

I think this is a great time to open up new places for tourists, to enjoy and have fun.
