Hello room 8! I hope you had an awesome last week at school! I'm missing you all can't wait to start term three, it's going to be an exciting term! Just want to say thank you for your lovely letters! They made me feel really good, and I like the suggestions of meeting with our buddy class and more games outside. I hope you all have a fantastic holiday, see you in two weeks.

P.S I'm still deciding on which company I would like to work at, it's a very hard decision!

The day I went to walking with dinosaurs

On the 3rd of July I went to walking with dinosaurs in Auckland. My mum, my dad and I all hoped off the boat from Wihiki Island and walked to the Victor Arena an we went to the car and I got changed into my good clothes. When we got to the Victor Arena my mum brought me a program and a bag but there was no t-shirts in that store so they told us to go inside to the other shop thats good theres a t-shirt at this store. When we got to the door of the Arena I saw that there were about 8000 seats. So we looked around and my dad found the seats that were ours. We sat in our seats and I looked at the program and the bag it was cool you got stickers and a pad in the bag. I keeped asking my mum and dad what the time was because I was so exited. It started at 3:00 and finished at 4:30. My favorite dinosaurs were Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the Stegosaurus. The Brachiosaurus was the tallest of all time it was 22 meters tall (72 feet).
