__WALT: Reflect on our experience of the Amazing race.__

__Day one - Te puna - Katikati - Waihi - Karangahake Gorge__

My group for the Amazing race was Hamish,Taylah,Kata,Islah and Kyle.

On the first day of the Amazing race my group was working really hard to win or at least come in the top ten.My group really enjoyed running around the Te-Puna Quarry but what we really didn’t like was walking around KatiKati.We did a good job of going slow and taking it easy. I think my group did really good when we were running through the Quarry we were boosting around everywhere non stop! It got really exciting when we got to waihi because we got stuck on answering all of the questions.The Taylah the year eight of the group finally found out that we had to go to the visitors centre for the answers! We were stuck on the hill because she didn’t read any of the clues! It got really challenging when we got to Karangahake gorge because we got lost in the forest even though the signs said what way we needed to go but then we got on the right track.Our parent was waiting for us on the other side of the tunnel so he had to go all the way around the whole thing to get to us. he was tired and then he showed us the way to get around to the tunnel we got through it and my cool group finished at 23rd PLACE!!! then we had lunch and headed back to school.

Day two - Papamoa -Kiwi360- Te puke - Rotorua

I felt tired when i woke up the next morning because i was exhausted the day before.I was excited though at least i don’t have to go back through that tunnel.That would kill me.as fast as possible we headed to PAPAMOA blow carts. I ate the kiwifruit as fast as possible it was not cool.I think the best part of it was the frizz-by throw which Kata did.i reckon that we had a fun time doing the activities at Papamoa.The best part of the day was the Maze because we got lost lots of times so people came in and tried to help us get to the middle but then time ran out we quickly tried to get to the middle but then bang the teacher told everyone to get out.It wasn’t easy going through it but we all gave it our best well some of us did.My hole group didn’t like it when we had to look for at least 20 letters we got lost looking for E in the deep end of the forest or (redwoods). I didn’t like looking for K because we ran up some big stairs and ran straight past it about 5 times it got boring running up down up down up down.Our parent let us borrow a drink of water because all of our water had run out

**Excellent reflection Dallas. Fantastic honesty. I am glad you had a such a good time on the Amazing Race but disappointed that you found so many things difficult! Don't forget to proofread your work and fix your spelling mistakes. Nice voice recording!** **Miss Crone :)**

**Why Kiwi's are the best**.Us Kiwi's are the best because we are the world champions in almost every sport in the world for example here are some sports Kiwi's(Rugby League) All blacks(Rugby) Silver ferns(Netball) And rowing and lots lots more.Even on TV NZ Kiwi's have been named the best country at sport! NZ has lots of cool clothes on sale at shops like postie+ they sell all sorts of kind's school,warm,winter,summer,sports clothes and much much more.We have kids of food no one else does in any other country our national food is probably most likey the Hangi yummy yummy. There is fish,chiken,Fish n Chips and fruit.Auckland has the best fun park in NZ it's called rainbows end it's so cool every one goes there for there holidays all the tickets run out and they have to make new ones.Same with our Rugby league there is al most ninety thousand people at every game that makes the players get a lot of $money$.There are different types of birds that we have to like the Kiwi,Kia,Tui, Kakapo,Kereru,Tak
