Dear NZ Opera and the Turner Centre

My favourite character was Adina because I really love her voice.

I didn’t think her voice would be that loud but her voice was beautiful.

and I really liked the set and that they had sung it in english so we could understand better.

Thank you soooo much Nz Opera for giving us 45 free tickets to the opera. We are all really grateful that we all got to go and the people that didn’t go were very unlucky because it was a very amazing experience for all of us.

Oruaiti school

On monday ngaio and kauri class went on camp we had to be at school at 9:00am we all got on the bus and went to Ruapekaka we had to walk in the rain then when we got back on the we something to eat then the bus was back on the road to Whangarei pools it was so fun and there were two and I was soooo happy because K-J was swming with anyway we got back on the bus and went to camp when we finally got to camp it was really hot so we made our beds and then went for a swim and jump off the pontoon or if you didnt want to swim you colud play voallball I was so happy because K-J was jumping off the pontoon after we went for a 30 SEC SHOWER and then went to bed.

In the monring we had to get up at 6:30am!Then we all got ready and went out to the hall to have breakfast.After breakfast we got our day bags ready and went on a 5km walk around Smugglers Cove it was really fun but my legs were really sore.After we all went surfing it was really fun and we got back at like 5:30pm and we have nachos for dinner and after dinner we all had a shower and then played spotlitgh and I won every round (because I’m so good).Then we all went to bed but bed time was kind of challening because some of the year 7 were really loud!I was the only year 8 in dorm after a while we all went to sleep.The next morning we woke up 7:00am then we packed our bags and got our day bags and went out and have breakfast then we had a big clean up the did a lot of activities then went home!

on cross I came 9th.But I don’t want to go on Friday  but my mum said if I ran and if I get tired I have to jog and I cant walk she will give me $100 to spend at the arcade so I have to do it.I ran the whole way with my friend marea she laughed at me when I fell in the mud!I HATE CROSS COUNTRY!
