The Future

My 3 Attractions - Easter Learning Journey

Firstly, I'd wanna go proper sailing in a large sailboat because when we went on a school trip to Kawau Island for a camp, our group sailed with no wind whatsoever and it was still fun but it would be even cooler to sail in a bigger sailboat with a keen wind prevailing and flooding my sails.

Secondly I'd want to visit Rangitoto and explore the life on a volcano island. Mt Wellington is amazing but it's not an island so I would want to compare the difference between the two and just to simply look around.

I'd also want to cross the sea to Devonport and have a scrumptious seafood lunch! Hmmm.

3 Quotes - Easter Learning Journey

Ohh! Again:
Now that we're at Level Alert 4 and everyone's isolated from each other, people find this as a great opportunity to go on their phones and contact my mum every 6 seconds. She has to grab her phone talk for ages then finally gets off and another person rings and it just repeats and repeats. Like seriously can I just get some time to spend with my mum! More than once she's just sat down to chill or sleep and all the while you hear her saying Ohh! Again.

Noah!:
In our house Noah is renowned for many things, but when he's got his earphones in and blasting music he tends to not listen, so you either have to yell at his face, splash water, or smack him. But even when he's just got his annoying ears he still doesn't listen which drives my mother crazy and she yell's at the top of her lungs to get Noah's attention. I on the other hand splash water, it's much more fun!

Bubble Formation:
Whenever we go outside for a family walk we do what we call Bubble Formation which is the entire family crowding and hugging Levi to protect him from any diseases the outside world offer. It's a silly rule but it actually generates laughter between the family and random people as they just see us chasing a family member and hugging them acting as a human shield. Just imagine once all this COVID-19 stuff was over we could use the Bubble Formation against random people, we'd look like a bunch of idiots.

NZ Map Locations - Easter Learning Journey

Rangitoto:

Rangitoto is it’s own island as a volcano. The volcano emerged from the sea

around 600 years ago. Right now Rangitoto Island is the largest and oldest

volcano in New Zealand.

Karekare:

Karekare is a small settlement in northern New Zealand, which possesses

beautiful black sand beaches and is fond of tourist’s. I myself am fond of

beautiful black sand beaches. I’m most relaxed when in water either calm or

wild. I prefer calm and talk to my companions and relax. When the oceans go

WILD! I find it as the perfect opportunity to have fun and get wasted by the

huge waves that charge like a battering ram.

Tane Mahuta:

Tane Mahuta is located in the far north and is famous for the largest kauri tree

in all of New Zealand. People enjoy roaming the track going in between several

other kauri trees to emerge and see the NZ famous Kauri Tree.

I'd Like To Try Out.. - Easter Learning Journey

I'd like to first visit the Sky Tower in Auckland City. I've actually never been up there or within 5 metres of the building itself. The Sky Tower is famous for Spectacular views and Bungee Jumping! I would only be interested in the veiws rather than the daze of Bungee Jumping.

Also I'd like to revisit Kelly Tarlton's located at Orakei. It's been too many years to remember anything permanently from our last visit. My reason to visit is to go scuba diving in the Cage where your surrounded by some Hostile fish like Tiger sharks that have obviously already been fed for safety. I've never experienced such a feeling as I was the only child from my family who STILL hasn't had a go.

Lastly, the Skyline Rotorua Luge and Gondola from Rotorua, famous for their Zipline and Luge. For those who don't know any of these let me explain - The Zipline is a strong and long line that carry's a person in a harness from one place to another going downhill at a deafening speed. The Luge is a cart which you sit in and pull the handle back to release the brakes, once you release the handle to its original position it slows or stops. There are three tracks, Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. The Beginner's track is the longest which has windy roads and soft turns, intermediate is a little tougher where you can speed and overtake people in a zip. Expert is just Zoom Zoom and your done, but still loads of fun. I'd like to experience the Zipline ride as it looks fantastic and fun, the luge is old days for me because i've already been on it maybe too many times.
