Week 1 - Day 2 - Bonus Activity

The name of this place is Rerepouri
It is 15ks outside of Kaikohe
This place is special to me because this is where all my family is.
When i travel from Wellington to Rerepouri we go to Te Ngaere beach and have a swim. We celebrate Christmas and New Years eve by having a family midnight dinner every year.
I like to come up north to catch up with my brothers and sisters. All my sisters and brothers go into one room and play on our phones.  Because we don't have internet at my Nana-Ma and Papa Dears house we always use our phones.  I try to ask my mum for her hotspot. Rerepouri is our family gathering spot.  When my Nana-Ma tells us to get off our phones, we go outside on the farm to ride the quads, motorbikes and play sports.  Sometimes we go to the creek to have a swim.  When we do we always have bbqs.  My uncle made the bbq out of bricks and a big plate.  My favorite memory of the farm is going down to the creak and having a swim.

Week one activties day two

The famous attraction i would like to visit in japan is Nagashima Spa Land.  It is 2000 miles from Tokyo.  i would like to ride on the Steel Dragon 2000.  The ride is 8,133 feet long witch is the length of 8 Eiffel towers. it's  the world's longest ride with face melting speed of 95 mile's per hour.  The Steel Dragon 2000 opened in 2000.  It is the most expensive roller coaster in the world it cost $15,0000.  It needed twice the amount of steel because it was built in a earthquake zone.  The highest point on the ride is 318 feet high it is higher then the Statue of Liberty.  It takes 4 minute's to complete a 1.5 mile ride.  That is why I want to go to Nagashima Spa Land.

There isn't much sun out today but it is still hot.  I am going to play volley ball with my aunties, uncles, cousins and mum.  Merry Christmas everyone.

Preparing for Christmas

On the 21st of December, my family and I moved into a new house.
It was hard work, because we had to pack up everything from the old house and take it to our new house.
I did heaps of work helping my mum pack and move the house.  I was very tired, but am excited because once we finish unpacking, we will be travelling to Dargaville to spend Christmas with all of my family!
Once I have sorted out my room, I am allowed to share a photo with you all.
