Stop Energy Drinks

A Supermarket called Countdown has started to make an age restriction for energy drinks. So that means you have to be a certain age to buy energy drinks. From early September, people will have to be over 16 to buy energy drinks. Reason being is because there is just to much sugar and caffeine inside the drinks. Making kids go crazy.

Energy drinks are surely going to be missed by those who drink them. So if you are younger than 16, enjoy energy drinks while you can.

Lake Tekapo Up For A Name Change

One of the lakes in New Zealand, Lake Tekapo, is currently waiting to have a name change. Reason being, we have been spelling it wrong the whole time! We say and spell it "Lake Tekapo" when it is actually Lake Takapo.

It was confirmed by the mayor that it currently has no meaning or effect, so in that case the community supports a change to the name. The people of the community have said that it's the computer's fault for spelling Lake Takapo without the little maron.

In My Holidays

During the holidays I went to watch a movie in the City Cinemas. The movie we watched was Spiderman - Far From Home. It was a fun movie, I went with Kain and Jaden. It was a cool movie and it had the supervillain, Mysterio.

We were so busy watching the movie that we didn't realise what the time was. When we came out of the movie it was past 10 o'clock. Then we started running towards the train before the trains stopped running.

Then we arrived back at Glen Innes.

Cleaning Up Tamaki Estuary

Yesterday the whole school went on a field trip down to Dunkirk. We went down there because we were cleaning up the rubbish around our area. We found a bunch of rubbish and I was shocked at how much trash there was.

It was all around the field, in between rocks and hiding inside some bushes. Sadly we weren't able to pick it all up, but we managed to pick up all the trash we saw. We went with some guests from the Auckland Zoo and they talked about a lot of things.

Towards the end we had a chance to play on the playground. All the students were playing and it was crowded. Most of the students were rushing towards the slides and swings. I enjoyed cleaning up our area.

Friday Rafting

Last week Friday, Room 12 went on an exciting trip to Vector Wero Whitewater Park. It's a place where anyone can go to do some rafting or kayaking. By the looks on the students' faces we all had fun. On my raft were Kain, Tristan, Sione, Mario, Ethan (the tutor) and I.

I had a bad and very awesome time. The bad thing about the trip was putting on the wetsuit. It was like a mission to put it on, but eventually it slipped right on. After all I still had a good time. My favourite part about the trip was when we had the privilege of standing up while the raft goes down the river. It was awesome. I was sad when it was over though... I hope I get to go again another time.
                     

Tech

At Tech we were with Mr Thompson, I finally chose to make a CD holder to put all my games in it.

I have chosen this item because I needed something to use as a storage holder for my CD's, so that they won't get lost. It has 4 slots and has a bottom piece to hold the PS4. I have to make it strong so that if it drops then it won't break.

Next week I'm going to carry on sawing the wood and chizzling it. 

Plane Crash

Sadly in the weekend two pilots have died in a plane crash. It was confirmed that there were four extra parachutists on the plane and they jumped before the crash. The parachutists were lucky they did not stay any longer they could have been hurt or even died. 

The incident was caused because the two pilots did not see each other and were trying to land. When they were about to land the two planes went right into each other causing a huge explosion and pieces of the plane falling. 

I think that the parachutists were shocked when they heard that the plane they had jumped out of seconds ago, exploded.
