The Great Taupo Cycle Challenge - Week 2

If I did the Lake Taupo Cycle Race I would take the following three people for my support crew:

1: MUM Because if I fall off my bike she well help me up. She will in encourage me to do it.
2: NANA Because she will have the first aid kit in her handbag.  She will encourage me to keep going.
3: POPPA Because if my bike breaks down he will be able to fix it.

I would like to have all my family with me to support me and cheer me on to the finish.

SLJ Blink and you'll miss it Week 1

Logging in New Zealand
I think logging shouldn't be allowed in New Zealand because it destroys our animals habitats and then they will have nothing to eat and nowhere to live. We also need trees for oxygen. But we do need logs to build our Whares and furniture and to make paper.
We need to make sure we re-plant our forests when they have been cut down.

SLJ Salt and Pepper Week 1

If I built a hotel I would build it out of concrete with lots of glass windows. I would build it by the beach.

Why are you on the $5 dollar note?

How long did it take you to climb Mt Everest?

What did you eat while you were climbing Mt Everest?

How did you go to the bathroom? Were their toilets on the mountain?

SLJ FRESHWATER SEALS WWF World Wildlife Fund week 1

I have created a Thinglink about the Freshwater Seal.

SLJ Tane Mahuta Week 1

Kia Ora,
I have already visited Tane Mahuta with my Uncle and his wife Dawn from America. It was huge and green everywhere. It is sad that Tane Mahuta is getting the Kauri Die Back disease in the forest. I don't want Tane Mahuta to die. We need to look after this great tree and keep it nice and healthy.
