Kumara trip

Yesterday we went to kumara It was pretty cool, We did 4 activities with our school, The Londanderry rock walk, a drama activity In an old bathing pool, team building and history. My favourite history, people might find this weird but History is one of my favourite things to do, I find Interest in learning the past because some of the stuff they went through was really tough.

The londanderry rock
This was our first activity this was probably  one of the best ones because miss donavin put on an Irish accent and told story about the banshee. The walk was about 10 minutes and at the end was this huge rock that was estimated to way around 400 tons and back in the old days it rolled down the hill and the thump was so loud it apparently stopped clocks in kumara.

The Bathing Pool
On the way back from the walk we went to an old fashioned pool called the bathing pool (I think it was called that) when there we had to read or preform a play or poem. My group did a play on blackjack Joe an villain in kamara who terrorised the Irish by beating them up I was a retired bear fist boxer and I had to save the town by beating up black beard. it was kinda fun and I got a choco fish

Team Building
This was a OK one but the building was my favourite we had to make a catapult to explain and signify what people used to do to get a message across the river this was pretty fun but we got hardly got to start be four we were out of time!


History
The last thing that we did was a history lesson about kumara. there was this guy that dressed up as the mayor or kumara which was also the prime minister of NZ

My weekend

On the weekend I went over to tyler's house On the first night we went into town to see the opening of the town square It was pretty cool watching the band play, that was really fun. But then came the christmas tree Tbh I think It looks like a rocketship about to take off and It looks a little stupid.. I dont want to be all debbie downer on it but couldn't they just walk into the bush and cut down a huge tree that would look better than it. anyway the next day we went to the christmas parade and the moana flout looked sooo good they had water guns as well and cameron spied me in the crowd and shot me down right in the face. after that we went to were they had the zorb balls and that was really fun.

My weekend

So it was camp and we got back on friday that day we went down to queens town so we arrived at queenstown at 10:00 after we left at about 3:30 We did it like champs no stops just keep on driving. when we got there I hit the mattress and slept like a log and woke up at 7 me and tasmin went into the main part of the house and watched some tv after that we went and had brekkie at a place, blah blah blah. the wedding so i had never been to a wedding before. like i did but i was 5 and i didnt really know what the heck was going on. so I just kind of went with the flow I dressed up with a tie and shirt and stuff and then we did the ceremony it went fast probably because it was ten minutes. but after that we took photos. Then the plan was to go to the heritage and PARTY but that started at 5:15 and it was like 3:30 so me and my older cuzzy went to this fancy icecream place. Being theo and a little bit of a grapefruit I choose chocolate when there were all these fancy ice cream flavours I chose chocolate. then It was the party which was by far by favorite we were all dancing and yea that was my weekend

Weekend recount

So On the weekend Me and niko had to do some filming for some kind of promotion thingy for the west coast that took about half the day. Anyway after that Ridge came over. At our house there is a construction site that has been like that for about 5 years half built this hole time But beside that there is another construction site that is actually getting built on put A lot of rubbish in the one that has been half built for 5 years. when i say rubbish i mean polistiren A LOT OF Polystyrene. so in this half built house there is a hallway and there is no roof on top of this hallway so we grabbed all of the polystyrene  and made stairs so we could climb out of the hallway this took a long time and the stairs were so so so dogey they were falling and snapping when we were climbing. After that we had a bb gun war during this we went into the construction site that was actually getting built on and climbed the roof and sat up there. The next day me niko ridge went out on the boat and I had a blast wakeboarding.

Canoe!! like and It filled Up with water and sunk below the surface anyway 150 meters off shore we were floating in the middle of the lake and with huge waves hitting us in the face. I was on the ocean kayak so i was dry Until dad told me to get out and swim back to sure. I was wearing long johns shorts rain jacket a polyester jersey. and luckily I had a life jacket So heres the problem so far.
