In Samoa she visited with the local leaders to talk about the New Zealand Governments Pacific Reset strategy. When she left Samoa and she went to Tokelau she visited the local leaders and discussed the same reason of what she talked about in Samoa.

NZ Loses Worlds Steepest Street Record!

Sadly Baldwin street in Dunedin has lost the title for the steepest street in the world. In Harlech, Wales the street Ffordd Pen Llech has one the title over NZ. Baldwin street has been the steepest street in the world for 32 years.

I think people who live on Baldwin street are kind of sad that their street isn't the steepest street in the world anymore. Hopefully in the future our street can win the title again.

Silver Ferns Victory Over Australia!

The Silver Ferns won the Netball World Championships over Australia 52 - 51. Silver ferns have now won five times in netball and hopefully can do it again in the future.

The captain of the Silver Ferns spoke these words after their victory over Australia, "It's all worth it when you have the belief nothing can stop you. I am so glad I came back, it feels so good. I can't believe we done it! It's not just for us, it's for everyone in New Zealand."

In the future I hope that some people from my class can go and play netball to represent our country and probably win another Netball World Championship title.

Tamaki Estuary!

Yesterday all classes had to experience fresh air at Tamaki Estuary which is at Dunkirk Rd, Panmure. Older classes got paired up with younger kids to pick up rubbish, there was a lot! A lot of kids found rubbish under the bushes, beneath rocks, behind the trees and next to the rocks.

My partner was Emeline who knew a lot about the environment that we were in. She explained to me that on Friday as they were coming to the same place she and her fellow classmates found cigarette packets next to rocks and milk cartons in the grass about to fall into the stream.

After walking a long way from one side of the estuary to the other we finally stopped to have lunch which was what we wanted after a long walk. I had learnt a lot about the environment and about how big of a difference there is between the Tamaki Estuary water and the water at Panmure Basin!
