Rotorua Lakes High Visit

On September the 11th we went to Rotorua lakes high for an open day. It was a real cool day crammed packed with fun activates my personal favourite was pirates in the gymnasium. Pirates is a game of tag but mega sized with tones of obstacles to put you off. One person even climbed up the basketball hoops. 
We went to the science lab and dissected a deer eye which was pretty cool.  The deer lens was clear like glass and everything was upside down. In the lab we also played with dry ice and deer lungs. 
We also did cooking were we made moulds for chocolate, languges we learnt greetings and maths we had to make a puzzle. 
Over all I thought it was a great day and I enjoyed it.

Devon Intermediate Sports Exchange

On Monday 2nd of September Devon intermediate our sister/bother school from New Plymouth came on two buses to our school. They had a team of 77 there smallest team in the exchanges history but as Matua Del said it was there best 77.  I took one billet, his name was Toby. On the first day we went for a swim in a natural hot pool that was heated geothermaly and the sand was super hot and so relaxing after that we headed to my mates place. At Finn's(my mates) we had a really nice dinner(his mum spent 3 years in cooking school)we had a BBQ with sausages and bread, real kiwi food, burgers with nice lamb patties, rissoles with herbs and my favorite chicken with a yummy marinade. The salads were soooooooooo good. For desert we had such a good pavlova. On Tuesday 3rd of September the sports began with an explosive start with B Ball, netball b team and girls soccer. The basket ball was a good game with Mokoia winning 68-26. Netball B team gave Mokoia a 2-0 lead on the cup winning 28-12. Girl soccer was an interesting game and it was sounding to good to be true Mokoia wining 1-0.
