Dear Mum,

Thank you for taking transport for the Amazing Race, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I think my group enjoyed coming in our car, it looked liked they had so much fun. Thank you for giving us lollies every day.

We had heaps of fun learning about all of the places we went to. My favourite day was Wednesday, because we got to go to Waihi where the beach hop was. I really liked the idea of the amazing race, it was so cool.

Thank you for coming we wouldn’t have had such a good time if you weren’t there. Thank you so much!!!

Yours sincerely

Abbey Cooper

Dear Peer,

Thank you for letting Rimu house come to your maze, I had a great time running around and having fun. I liked it how you could look over the maze so you could see where to go before going into the maze. Its so big when you get in there. Its hard as to get around the maze.

I love the gardens around the maze and the animals are great to. The butterflies in the cage are cool. I had such a awesome time there.

Once again thank you for letting Rimu house go to your maze on the amazing race!!!

yours sincerely

Abbey Cooper

__AMAZING RACE REFLECTION__

__WALT: Reflect on our learning experience of the Amazing Race.__

__Day 1- Te Puna- Katikati- Waihi- Karangahake Gorge__ My team on the Amazing Race was Nicola, Nicolas, Cody, Tristan, Quinn and me. The driver of that day was my mum Andrea Cooper. Nicolas mum Tina also came along as well. They were very helpful. My highlight of the day was down stairs in the Waihi information centre. Which was where heaps of gold mine information and equipment was. My team came last because we all split up and got lost in the Karangahake Gorge.

__Day 2- Papamoa- Te Puke- Rotorua__

Today my team came in second. My highlight of the day was going through the maze and coming second. Going through the maze was so much fun because we were following another team, then there would be a dead end and then we would be in front of them. The last bit the other team went one way and we went the other way which was the write way. Day 2 was my favourite day only because we came second.

Day 3- Tauranga- Mt Maunganui

Day 3 my team came third which was better than day 1. So we were proud of our selfs. My highlight of the day was going to the Art Gallery, because I learnt so much more stuff about Lynly Dodd. My team had so much fun. It was just around Tauranga which meant not as much Driving which was good. I was sad that it was the last day of the Amazing Race.

**Good reflection Abbey, although you could have written a bit more! Nice honesty. I am glad you had a such a good time on the Amazing Race. Nice voice recording too!** **Miss Crone :)**

L.I. We are learning to use detailed language and a writing style that is appropriate and directed to audience to produce a brochure advertising a place we visited on the Amazing Race S.C. We canuse formal language (no slang)use persuasive language/emotive language e.g. you would love ...use objective and/or powerful language e.g. certainly, must, absolutely.



Good job it looks awesome and it makes me want to go there and do some blokarting or laser tag or clay bird shooting the only thing you did wrong was that it didn't tell me how old i have to be for clay bird shooting. You used heaps of different colors that stand out and that catch my eye and you also used a lot of images that show me what i can do. I like how you spread it out and made it easy on the eye and there is no spelling mistakes i really like it - quintin

My map on what makes a kiwi



Why kiwi's are the best!!! Kiwi are the best because we have big families with parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, grand parents and cousins. Also we eat kiwifruit, fish & chips and we also have a hangi every now and then, our main drink is L & P. We are mostly known for our sports, netball (Silver Ferns) rugby (All Blacks) Football (All Whites) hockey (Black Sticks) and more. We have loads of places to visit in New Zealand. You can go to theme parks, awesome shops, lovely beaches, gardens and tons more. Thats why kiwi's are the best!!!
