Usian Bolt (Worlds Quickest man ever)

The world’s fastest man to ever live and he is just amazing.

Usain Bolt (born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter. He won the 100m in these amazing Beijing games with a world record time of 9.69 seconds and winning the hundred by a clear 2.5m and celebrating 15m before the line. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt".
Everyone is talking about how amazing Michael Phelps and he is but me I'm a classic sprint man that’s what the Olympics is about the track 100m. Every sprinter what’s to win the Olympics gold in 100m and that’s what everyone builds up to and well Bolt killed the field, by 15m he was celebrating. It was unbelievable and Phelps is amazing but he is just as good because sprinters only have 2 events 100m and 200m unlike the swimmers who can 8 like Phelps.

So in my opinion Usian Bolt and Michael Phelps are just the same ranked the same for amazing Olympians.

Kiwi Bird

Quesition1: The Kiwis extinction is possible, scientist believe that before humans arrived in Aotearoa, 12 million kiwis lived in the North, South and Stewart Island. Today the population has plummeted to around 50-60,000 birds. This means that there population over the last thousands year have dropped over 99.5%. The adult weights about 2.2 pounds and that was enough to fight of smaller predators but since humans arrived over 1000 years ago there have being bigger and stronger mammals that could kill the kiwi easily. Another problem is that 95% of juvenile kiwis are killed in there most vulnerable period by stoats and cats; also there have been 194 in northland alone for lose or wondering dogs. I quote “It’s because of people introducing predators: ferrets, stoats, weasel, cats, and dogs” says Jeremy Magurie, manger of the Willowbank Wildlife reserve. “They are a species in decline, and if it continues at this rate, they will become extinct”. Finally it’s not only the animals doing the kiwi but people driving carelessly where kiwis are around.

Question2: A lot seems to being done to stop the kiwi extinction; in it all started 1991 when the Bank of New Zealand made a partnership with the Department of Conservation and the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society. The program covered the conservation and management of New Zealand’s, national bird. Northland alone at least 12 kiwi projects have begun since 1999 the cost of this annually is around $110 million. New Zealand’s very first community- initiated kiwi sanctuary began in1995- on Kuaotunu peninsula, in the Coromandel. Volunteers do most of the extensive predator control on both public and private lands. More recently, communities in Kerikeri, Russell, Cambridge, Whenuakite and Whangarei Heads, to name a few, have begun work to protect habitat and remove predators from large tracts of forests and farmlands.


Question3: The Kiwi as an emblem first appeared in the late last centaury in New Zealand regimental badges. Badges of the South Canterbury Battalion in 1886 and the Hastings Rifle Volunteers in 1887 both featured kiwis. Later, kiwi appeared in a great number of military badges. The Kiwi symbol began to be recognised internationally in 1909 when the Kiwi Shoe Polish was launched in Melbourne by a man with a New Zealand born wife. Soon the polish was widely marketed in Britain and the USA during WW1. The kiwi name came about inWW1 when New Zealanders craved a giant kiwi on a chalk hill above Sling Camp in England. In Flanders during the war, the name ‘kiwi’ for New Zealand soldiers came into general use. Over seas New Zealanders are still known as Kiwis. So if the kiwi does go extinct our name and national icon will be gone so will we still be called kiwis? Who knows?

Moving

June 9th

Moving House, I got up early to help my mum start packing up the car with our luggage. My dad stayed at the house and help the moving company. When we were moving the couch there was a massive cockroach under it and then I crushed it. My dad pulled his back trying to move some plant pots so I ended up doing it. Then some people from jehovas witness called at the door to convert me but I declined the offer.
The removal men arrived and took over the job and we were soon on our way. I then sat in the new house and watched TV while evrone else unpacked.......my mum then told me to get off the sofa and sort out my room. I walked to my room nor happy..............
I was happy we had moved but now had to packmy room before we went skiing.

Cheese Cake








Mmmmmmmm....... don't you just love cheese cake it is the best dessert ever made. Why you’re thinking? Well, firstly they just look amazing don’t they, if you don’t believe me look at this photo I’ve got (it just makes you drool doesn’t it). Secondly there are like hundreds of different types of cheesecake e.g. Vanilla, Strawberry, Blueberry and Chocolate and that’s just to name a few. Also there are loads of different styles of cheesecake; every country makes it different but just as good. Like you have American, Canadian, French, British and Australasian, Italian and Greek and there is more than that. Finally you have the amazing taste and texture; first you have the bottom layer of crouched biscuit which you can taste but not too much. Then you have the cream cheese part which is the main bit of it and gives it its texture and finally the topping which gives its flavor and just makes it amazing.

Rugby : WGP Vs Long Bay

On the 14th of June we played Long Bay College in rugby at home. This was our first win and the score was 26-15 to us of ofcorse because we won. Try scores were JT who scored the first try I set it up by drivig 13m to the line and Jt drived for the line and scored.Then Taylor who ran hard at the defence all day, he scored when the forwards drove had from the half way line to inside the 22 and he drove 8m to get over the line. Corby then got to 2 trys the frist in the second half , I set it up by driving it 10m to the line and then we got a 5m scrum (I don't now why) and JT just passed ot to Corby on the blind side and Corby walked in. His second try came again in the second when Trent put a great kick in and our teams great chasing, made ther Full Back mess up and the ball came to Corby who divided over the line I played really well. Long Bay had a consolation try through very weak defence from our team. I nearly scored two tries but I was short of about 20 cm on each occasion. The refereeing in this game was quite good. And he didn't feel intimidated to use his cards which we found out when he sent the opposition openside flanker off the field. Vinay also stepped a guy.

The Future of Whangaparaoa

As I accelerated down the highway at 350km/h (well under the speed limit) in my new, flash Lamborghini X 3000. I saw the turning to my old neighbourhood Whangaparaoa so I decided to check it out. At first not much had seemed to change but that all changed when I drove past my old Rugby Club Silverdale. It wasn’t just a bunch of old rugby field anymore; it was now this big stadium which could hold over 20,000 people. So I decided to pull in and check it out. As I walked in I saw people training and straight away I noticed someone, it was Vinay Reddy so I went and had a chat with him. He said that Silverdale was now in the Super 30. I didn’t have much time to chat after that. So then I was off to the next place which was Whangaparaoa Plaza.
As I drove down Whangaparaoa Road there was another shock as all the shops on the road had been knocked down and now they were all Bungalows. Rows and rows of bungalows they seemed to go on forever but I realised that why they had been knocked down when I got further up the road and saw this huge building then I noticed that it was the Plaza just a lot bigger. 8 storeys high bigger, so I pulled in to check it out. As I walked in it said worlds biggest mall, I could not believe it Whangaparaoa Plaza the world’s biggest mall! and it had everything shops from all round the world K-Mart, Asda, H&M, Abercrombie and Fitch and loads more.

While I was shopping I saw someone else I had grown up with, Michael Broughton and he was with a load of supermodels and wearing some sweet clothes. I started to talk with him and he told me he owned this mall, also that he was a billionaire I just couldn’t believe it. So after I spent my fair share in money at the mall, I headed down to check out WGP College (my old school). As I parked up my car in the visitor’s car park I saw that nothing had changed and I as I walked round nothing at all had changed I thought with everything else but no nothing at the school had changed. So there was one last thing to check out my old road and well that was the worst it was not even there, it had been knocked down for an express highway. So as I turned on to the highway I thought about how much had change in so little time.

Day8: Universal

It was a Thursday and we were up at 8, by 8:40 everyone had eaten and getting ready to leave. We left at 9:20 and got there for 9:55 and we entered the park after parking the car. The first rid we went on was the amazing Simpsons Rid it was amazing, it was only a virtual rid but it felt sooooooooooooooo real. We left that and joined the line for Studio Tour which was a 40min rid around some sets and other stuff, the rid was worth doing. We then left and got some lunch and then headed to watch the water world show it was a great show lots of action and they drenched you with water. Other rides we did after that was the house of horror that was scary because they had live people who didn't touch you but would jump out and go inches away from you. Then the Rollercoaster Mummy rid, Jurassic park water rid and a fire show. We did more after but they were the really good ones and my favorite was The Jurassic Water rid. After we ate dinner at the park and then we left to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Cristal Skull at 8:30, I thought it was a great film and recommend everyone to see it but I LOVE all of the 4 films. Well that was another great day.

Day7: LA

So on this it’s was my mums birthday, we got up early and drove to the airport were Dad dropped the car of and Me and Mum checked us in but what we found out is that we were in the wrong airport. So we were panicking BIG time but lucky the nice check in lady got on a flight from that airport. So after that shock we went an boarded our plane, the fight was 6 hours but it was ok. When we FINALLY arrived we went straight though because in was an internal flight so there was no customs. When we got our bags we went and met my sister and her friend Sam who we were staying with for our 5 days in LA. Then we got in this massive Cadillac and went to Sam’s and there we gave my Mum and there birthday cake (my dad as well because we missed his birthday). The cake had there faces on it as well which was super funny, we got photos and sent it to the cake company and they put it on. After there cake we headed out to thing restaurant and it meant to be 21 over only but Sam new someone who put in a good word so I got in it was sweet. The place was a sushi place and the food was good. Well after that we went to bed.

Day6: Golf

I had to be up 7 today it sucked cause I was sooooooooo tried. But I was up and ready for our pick uo by Dads friend an he took me and Dad to golf it was about a 40 min drive where we met the other person who was going to playing us it was Me, my Dad, Joe (Dads friend) and Jim (Joes friend). To start with no one was ready playing well but we weren't playing badly either. But at the 9th we had a little problem I was driving the golf cart when we went round a really tight bend and we bumped and I hit the exclerator and we drove into a wall and it wrote of the cart. But we got a new one and carryed on, Joe started to get his game on and endded uo kick our butts. We then had to go and meet my Aunti at Tysons Corner because my dad wanted to see her. We were with her for 30min till she had to leave, then my Mum got back from dropping James at the airport and took us back to our friends house. About 10min later we had to start to shower and get ready for our BBQ at the Brides house. We had to be there for 6 but the traffic was so bad that we didn't get there till 6:35 but it was ok. The BBQ was amazing they had so many meats it was so nice, plus we got to finsh off the wedding cake. After dinner we went outside and played a game called ringtose but its to hard to explane anyway I played 7 games and won them all. I was annoying because we had to leave early to see our friends before we left in the morning early to LA.

Day5: Baseball

It was the day after the wedding and we were up some how at 9. We went down and had breakfast, then back up to the room to pack because we were leaving the hotel to stay at a friends house for the next two nights. So we packed the car with the bags and said good bye to my other cousin Johnathon and his girlfriend Jo. Then my Mum took our bags to the friends house but me, James and Dad cought the metro to a baseball game the Milwakey Brewers Vs the Washington Nationals. It started of really fast with the Nationas hitting a home run in the first inning, then scorring another but then it was dull until the 6th were Brewers got 2 run stright. Next in the 7th they got another run so they score was 3-2 to the Brewers. So the Nationals were in the 8th and they had to score and they did they got there run and took it to extra innings. And the game went to the 12th inning until the Brewers scored and endded the game. We then got the metro back and then picked up by my Mum. We went back to our friends and their daughter was there with their Grandaughter called Sky she was only like 18 months and so cute and all she wanted to is sit on my lap and wear my hat. They were only there for an hour but it was cool. We stayed in for dinner that night and had some amazing steak. And again we didn't get to bed till 11:30.

Day4: The Wedding

This day I was actually got up early and got to breakfast with everyone else. It was the day of the wedding so we need to go to Tysons Corner and pick up my tuxedo and do a bit of shopping as well. I didn't get anything but my Dad got some new shoes and James got a new belt. We then went back to the hotel because James was an Usher at the wedding so he had to be ready for 3, although we had to be ready for 4 we didn't get ready for a while. But when we were finally all ready we went and got a large taxi to the wedding (even though it was only 3min down the road). We were there for 4 but the wedding was until 5 but we had to be there for family photos. The wedding ceremony was about 45 min long it was actually not that boring there is loads more things to do than you see on TV but thats what I thought. When it was over we left for the reception the wedding party had more photos so they came later but everyone was drinking because it was a free bar till 10 (so 5 hours free drinking) that was all drinks. For the first hour it was just drinks, then we went up stairs and had dinner. For dinner it was a buffet but it sooooooooooooooooooo nice I could of eaten it all day but before that the brides Father (Kemper) made a hilarious speech everyone laughed at. Then there were a few more like my Uncles and Nicks then we went down stairs for the first dance. Then they cut the cake and it was amazing I loved it. Just after people had had enough to drink to dance and not be embarrassed. The so everyone was enjoying them selfs. It was about half an hour from then is when the best man Chris did his speak and there was a big bet going round how long it would be it was only 1 dollar in, but like 40 people put money in. Well my Uncle Graham won it, it was like 50 Dollars. Ready after that the bar closed like 20min later and everyone was just drunk an dancing it was cool. But the funny thing was that Nick the Groom didn't drink so he was like the only sober one there. Nothing else really happen we just got a rid with someone back to the hotel had everyone drank some more there until 1 and my sister and other went into town.

Day3: Bride and Groom

Well this was the day before the wedding and we didn't have much planed, to start I wasn't up till 11 and so was my brother. So we both just made it to breakfast, we got down there and everyone else was off. My dad was early to take people o a tour of Washington because he new the way round form when we lived there and all the girl were getting there nails gone and going to the Bridal shower. And again the weather was sweet. Like I said me and James didn't get up till 11 then, after breakfast we went were in the room for an hour and a half we then went to see what the Groom (my cousin Nick) was up to. He was in his room with the best man (Chris) and a Groomsman (Rob). They were planning on go to the Bridal shower to get a light hair cut from my mum (because she was a hair dresser) and then doing something like the bowling or cinema. So we headed off in a taxi that was me, James, Chris and Rob and Nick was driving some other people to come with us. They weren't there for another 25min after we got to the bridal shower. So while we were there we met Justin an usher at the party and Erica (the brides) brother and her Granddad, her Grandma and her two Uncles. They were really nice and the funny thing was because the bridal shower was on all the guys were kicked outback. So when Nick finally arrived and had his hair cut there was no point in going anywhere so we stayed there all afternoon and ended up playing a wicked game called ring toss it to hard to explain but it was cool. Like 4 hours later every one had to be back at the hotel to get ready for the rehearsal dinner that was only the wedding party so we didn't go but we went out with everyone else who was left and went out to dinner at a Steak House which was awesome. We got back at like 12 that night again and my sister went into town and met up with my brother had other who went out that night.

WGP College

When the fog lifted from WGP college Guards where spotted with guns. I had one window in the class which used to be room 13. The rest were now all covered up. The Chinese had taken over WGP college in 2020 and they are now forcing Chinese into us against our will. I have been here from when it first happened. I was hoping to get a great future from this school but that's the least of my worries now. I made eye contact with a guard who grabbed his gun and threatened me. Its such a dark place now. Its not what it use to be like they have destroyed the future of Whangaparaoa college and the rest of the worlds. I'm lonely in this place. Deeply. There is so many people jammed in here and yet i'm lonley. I know allot of them and some are my friends but none family. I try not to be, but I'm scared of the guards. They are horrible and always yell at you in Chinese. They think since they are teaching everyone Chinese everyone knows it. Some people don't do what they are told and seem not to be scared but deep down I think they are. I'm sick of Chinese everything. I'm sick of it all. They have ruined my life and they are now torchering me. Everything has changed around WGP college, I wish it was how it was in the stories my mum and dad told me. This was not what was planned for wgp college and it should not have happened, it should be a proper school were we are taught things that matter. This is what You hear about but never think will happen. My storys the same every day I do the same routine. I want story's like my Mum and Dads. I want freedom. The Chinese took freedom from millions Of lives. I just hope one day WGP college will be how it used to be. Beautiful and free. Why did this happen.

Rugby 6th Grade

Our Frist Game

We Played Kingsway it was just a friendly game becuase kingsway had to many over weight player like there number 8 was almost 20kgs over the weight limit.

Well the day didn't start well because our warm up was rubbish we were just messing around, but by the end we were looking good.We were also playing on the rubbish water logged pitch because the seniour team was playing at the same time so they got the good one. At the start of the game they were on our line for about 15min until the scored from then on we were never really in there half our forward were fighting hard but because they wer over weight it was never going to last. Our back just couldn not hold the ball because the ball was so wet. So they could never get running. It felt as if we were continually on the back foot. And personly I though we didn't play to the best of our ability. Soooo the score ended at 33-0 to them. But we played every well in the conditions but we could of played better.

Tim

Tim could not believe it. Overnight, the world had changed from a grey, dark mess to a beautiful white wonderland. He stroled outside onto the snow and stared at it in wonder. Tim had always seen things like it in the ten years that he had been living in Mexico, and he did think that he would see it again. He spun around in the swirling white but exlebrated it when he fell over. He got up slowly, hoping every body had seen him. Tim's loving little sister came sprinting out into the street, screaming with excitement. She begged him to help her make a snowman so they knelt on the pavement and started to scoop up as much snow as they could into a pail. After about an hour, the snowman was tall and Tim was warm. He carefully stepped over the ice, back into the house for some hot chocolate.

When you think of her you smile for no reason. But she can snap at any moment once she has an opinion in her head she wont change it for any reason. Though that can be a good thing as much as a bad thing. theres nothing else to say she just my lovly sister.

English Work

My Bike
As scared as I was, I knew I had to do it. I had done it a thousand times before. But way was I sacred of doing it I don’t now if it was the pulsating road of the crowd. I don’t now but I was shore scared of doing it. So off I went I don't now what happened but my legs just started to peddle and I off I went. Peddling hard so hard I felt like it was the fastest I had ever gone and I hit the ramp I was flying I felt like an eagle. I had never got this high; it was amazing I loved it. That was until I for some reason my hand slipped off the right handle bar and that was the moment I slipped back I to reality and I realized my fate I. There was nothing I could do about so I had awaited my fate. So while I fell time seemed to stop as I feel and then I suddenly hit me the completet pain.

moives so far

So far though the hoildays I've watched 3 films, I watched them when I had some free time. So well watch I have watched is Snakes on a plane, Predator 1 and 2.

Snakes on a Plane.
posible on of the worst films I have ever seen I is sooooooooo bad I starts off about this kid seeing a murder in Haiwi but he has to go to LA to testify agaist a man who is well now for killing people who testitfy against him. So what the guy does to try and kill the kid so he can't testify against him is he put loads of poisious snakes on this plane hense the name SNAES ON A PLANE. But as it slowy goes on it starts to get funny cause its sooooooooooo bad but some of it makes sense the snakes arent just killing people because as you my have been told it not in there nature they have to be provoced and well they attualy are buy a hormone the asasone have put in the plane. Well I wont tell you what happens in the end but its not very good.

Perdator 1and 2.
Well what to amazng action moives they really are amazing if you want action you should watch these there is sooooooooooooo much.

Canadaian Game

Well the other dy our school day a Canadaian rugby team come and play our school whlie they were here they satyed in our houses I had to of them.

I will only talk about the senior game because that was the good one. THE FRIST HALF:Well it started off that they dominated the first half and they scored two trys on of them was my home stay who went straight throw the middle of the team and under the postes. It was nearing up to half time had the score was 3-12 to the Canadaians and we had a scrum (which wasnt to good for us seeing as they had won ever scrum of the half even ours) but we wonit and we gave it out to Nathan Ash who went past the 1st and 2nd five then steped past the Fullback and ran round the winger to go under the postest endding the game 10-12. THE SECOND HALF: It was going well to start off we had scored at the end of the first, now we were dominating and the Canadaians where droping. We then got a penalty to take the lead, then around 56 min Nathan Ash again broke the line and gave the ball to Buck who went 25 meters to score, we then got another penality to take the score to 21-12. The canadaians struck back at aroung 68 min but not converting th score now 21-17. Then Leesin Stockman got a try in the 74 min, when Nathan Ash AGAIN broke the line and gave it out to Leesin who ran round the winger and scored in the cornner. He scored again in the 76min, Reggie Pearce who took a five meter tap and gave it to Leesin who ran over the winger.

So over all it was a great game for Whanga.

The Zoo

Welllllll,

What a fun day that was Drew got bit by a Meercat, the Giraffes were in mating season, an Elephant almost choked and we almost got sent out so it was a fun day.

It started off all good me and Vinay went for a walk and saw the Giraffes like you see them on the Documentary Channel. Then we went day eye out a lion which was really fun cause I won. I guess then we had to go back to meet up for our talk on endangered animals in New Zealand. Well before we went in to the talk my friend told that he had been bitten by a Meercat I was sooooooo funny then one of the zoo poeple said that he needed to get to get some tetnuse jab, then we went in to the talk, it took 50 mins it was a bit boring but not that bad. After we got out I went of with Riki and we watched a monkey for 15 mins while he tryed to get some bread which he endded up getting. Then the hole school was called over the intercome telling us that we had to meet back at the enterance. Then Ms Wilson, Mrs Rolands and Mr Pocock gave use a talk on how bad our behavour was like some people where smoking in the meercat tunnels, someone had throw a chocolate bar at the elephant and it started to choke apparently it almost died. After that me and Vinay had a photo of us taken by Ms Wilson of me and Viany eatting our subway. Then me and Viany went an shouted abuse at te Kangaroos for being Australian it was prity funny.

Nothing else really happend. So over all it was a great day.

Sunday

Sunday I guess was alot better I start off by watching fun of the film called Independence Day, it's the one where allens attack Earth they start attacking everyone and destroy big towns and city. They then start to atack in group by putting in a virus and shutting down there defences for a few min so that there planes can be attackthe ship and as you can expect they end up fighting of the aliens. After watching a great film I had a traing season an on stanmore field just some fittness and rugby skills, it was alright I guess. Then I came home had a shower and went and watched the end of my film (Independence Day). Later on in the day me my bro and my parents went to a friends house they had a pool which I spent most of the evening in haha. We had some dinner there then went home. We then went and watched the Leiscter Tigers against London Wasps. Then I went to bed.

Rugby

Rugby,

In the Super 14 I support the Sharks from Cape Town. I support they because when my bother went to South Africa he brought me back a Sharks top and that was the frist time I herd of the Sharks so now I support them. I now that I should support the Blues cause they are the closet team but I don't I'm a Shark. I of corse belive that the Sharks can win the Super 14 but the Crusiader should win it I recone.

The 6 Nations,

I can't belive that Walse won but they did deserve to win it, England could of won it but they played rubbish against Scotland and Walse. But guess who they beat in the 6 Nation France and Ireland and guess who New Zealand (the best side in the world) lost to FRANCE the team England beat how funny.

Random

Well this is my random box that im going to entre so random stuff into like this.....

I'm supercool darrrr

The War Musseum

Welllllllll,

On Friday we went to the Auckland War Messeum. I guess that the muesseum was ok, the problem was that I had been there like 5 times before so I had seen it all before. I did quit enjoy the some of it because when we did the question I look at somethings that I would not and did not look at when I before. I sore my name up on the hall of memories. I thought that there might some more names but was glade there wasn't, but there was still alot of names. I got a bit energetic so I had to sit down with Mrs.Wilson and clam down once I did I was aloud to go. I found the work hard to do or well to find where to get the answers.

That was the Auckland War Messeum.

Chinese Cinderella

The book Chinese Cinderella,

At frist I thought this book woud be really boring and not really my kind of thing. But as it started to get in to it and I started to really enjoy it. It's the kind of book that you kind of book that at the start you will think why am I reading this but as it gets going it really starts to get good. I don't really think the ending of the book was very good I won't tell you but it was quite disapointing, but I do recommend that you read it.
