Have you ever been to Rotorua New Zealand? Because I have, well specifically to the luge and zip lines. Today I am going to be talking to you today about how I would feel if I went down the zip line

(Photo byhttps: mustdonewzealand.)


While walking high above the ground, on a wooden bridge, I look upon such a beautiful sight. The tree's flow like hair, birds sing like angels, and people had the brightest smiles on their faces. 
While I was waiting in line I was watching everyone put on their tight gears, clip onto the lines, and glide down the zip line with joy, but deep down in side I feel like the cord was just going to break and then they would fall.

When there was only 1 more person before me, I look behind me to see if there was anymore people, but, there wasn't, so I stood there, frozen, speechless, and scared. The lady had finally jumped off like a frog and soared like an eagle. I was last person to go and I was scared to dear life. I told them to say "1, 2, 3" before they pushed me off, but, the worker said "1" "2" and pushed me off (well that's what I thought). I held onto the zip line for dear life and sweated a storm, I yelled, and yelled, and yelled, and closed my eyes but little did I know was that I was still on the platform, and they all looked at me as if I was crazy.

When I had finally calmed down, he then decides to push me off, and then the episode restarts. I held onto the zip line, wrapping my legs around the zip line too, as I was looking down at the ground that looked like it was 10,000 kilometres away from me but really it was only a few meters away from me. While I am still in the air I slowly calm down and look up at the beautiful view. I saw all of the beautiful forest and saw all the beautiful animals within the bush, and I realise that I was scared for no reason, maybe if I just worried about the views than the height maybe I wouldn't had been so frightened.

Once I am a few meters away from the ending, I hopped and wished that I was never scared at the beginning because I could have seen much more if I just left my eyes on the fantastic views. When I am finally back onto the ground/platform I am sad because I didn't see most of it, but at least I will know for next time to worry about the view not the height.

I hope you enjoy/ed my story about going down the zipline in Rotorua

The Seven Sisters . . . . . . .

W3/D4/A2

Today I assigned to write a short summary of the book. What was it about? Try to summarise the story in 6-8 sentences.

Basically like a book review.

So here is my book review:

So this story is about a a man named Mitai and his brothers. Mitai's brothers were very self conscious and cared enormously about their looks.

One day they heard voices of angels so they followed it up onto a hill , and it led them to 7 stunning wahine, and every brother fell in love besides Mitai.

The brothers then treated the wahine as if they queens and didn't want to disappoint them. The brothers cared so much about the wahine they forgot to look after themselves, and Mitai's curiosity starts to increase.

One day when the brothers had returned early from gathering kaimoana the wahine had disappeared, so Mitai decides to go out to the eldest brothers house to look for the wahine. When he gets there he sees 6 birds sitting outside on the tree and sees another fly out of the house. They then turn into wahine and start talking about their plan about starving the brothers to death so Mitai flew back to the village to warn them.

When he gets back he has a conversation with the brothers and koroua about what they were going to do to get rid of them, and koroua had handed them special nets to capture them with and then throw them the farthest away from this earth.

So the brothers go out on the search for the wahine. As the wahine came out of the house each brother caught them and had taken them to Uru-te-nga-nga (god of the stars) and asked her to throw them to them away to the farthest Heavens, and so she did.

And every year Uru-te-nga-nga gives them a chance to shine in a special occasion called Matariki.

What I found challenging: What I found challenging through the process of making this was just writing the book review in general.

What I found easy: What I found easy through the process of making this was nothing, for me it was completely hard, but I do recommend this book to any ages because it is a fantastic book.

Here is a question, if you were one of the wahine what would your evil plan be? Comment down below

W2/D3/A2

Today I have been assigned to

Ohhhhhhh!! hello, you startled me, well follow me into the kitchen and I'll show you how to make my famous nacho's.

Here are the ingredients that you are going to be needing:
1.Lamb or beef mince
2. Chilly beans
3. Mexican style tomatoes
4.  chips
5. Preferred amount of cheese 
6. sour cream (optional)
7. Chopped chives or spring onions (optional)
8. Some oil

So first we are just going to get a non stick pan (or just spray non stick spray or butter on pan) heat a dash of oil on the pan and then put the mince onto the pan until it is brown.

Once the mince is cooked add chilly beans and Mexican tomatoes to the mince and let it simmer (low boil) for a few minutes.

You could either put the corn chips in a separate bowl or lay them on the same plate as the mince. So add mince to plate then sprinkle the cheese all over the dish, and if you want you can add the sour cream and chives on top, but it just depends on you then....

Bon Appétit!!
