Venus is closer then Mars?

I used to always think that mars was the closest planet to earth... until a few days ago when I heard that Venus was closer to earth. I heard everyone around the room all questioning and wondering what was correct. We searched it up of the internet and Venus turned out to be the winner.

Still today we are wondering what is closer, so we double checked and Venus won it again. I am still startled.

The Best Holiday Yet!

The term 3 holidays were AWESOME! I was at both a very hot place and a very cold one.

On Saturday the 20th of September, at six am, I was sitting on a plane to Brisbane as we were taking off. The flight felt longer than it was. I tried to go to sleep but I cannot sleep on planes. As we arrived we got our bags out and ran out because we were so excited. We were puzzled because we couldn't contact anyone with our phone because it wouldn't work and we could't use the phone box because it was way different to the New Zealand phone boxes and looked way to complicated to learn. we got outside and found my Aunty and Uncle waiting for us. 

We did many things in Brisbane but the highlight for me was going to movie world. As we got to movie world we went to the stunt show because there is only 2 stunt shows a day and I wanted to experience it. it was awesome. At the begging of the show they chose a guy out from the crowd and he was very clumsy but and the end of the show is was obvious that he was acting. After the show was over we went over the batman ride. It is pretty much the fear fall/giant drop except it goes really fast up as well as down. I wanted to try the other rides but they were mostly closed and one opened at the end but by that time my uncle and I were both very tired.

When I got back on Saturday 2 weeks forward, I went to a birthday party the day after we arrived and saw the maze runner. It is an AWESOME movie. The day  after that I went with dad to Taupo. We were going on a fishing trip. The first couple of nights we ended up in a motel because the weather was horrible and cold. On the second day there we went fishing and caught our biggest fish of the ones that we caught. the rest of the day was just sitting around and talking with dad. The next day we went fishing and I wanted to catch a fish of my own so dad had a few turns and once when I went to get something from the car, I came back to find another fish on the ground. I was very annoyed.The next day we went fishing AGAIN and this time I caught a fish, that day was also our last day on Taupo. We left and got home and all I could do was sleep. 

There is no doubt that I had a good time!

I Want Another Production!

I LOVED the production. I thought we all did really well. for year 7 and 8's, we needed to write the script, think of props, make up dances and much more. I can remember when we were first starting and we were thinking of a name for the production and names for the bad and good guy. We have come a long way and we have done well.

I give big thanks to all of the teachers who have pulled it together (Mrs & Ms Bolger). We have all done really well and all you can do is do your best, and that is exactly what we did. Good job
