Where The Heck Is ?

Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup.

I found out information about : Mangere Bridge

The location in Auckland; In Mangere

Something special about this place;

A 'potted' history of the place; Mangere Bridge is very important to the community.

If it has it's own symbol of some sort.

we chose a picture that told more about the place

“Where The Heck Is Mangere Bridge?”

Two minutes drive from the airport hotels and motels takes you to our very own typical New Zealand. it is located in the south side.

Mangere Bridge Village is renowned as a friendly, yet “real” taste of Kiwiana, and is a great way to acclimatize to New Zealand culture. The area is steeped in history and has a rich cultural heritage stemming from Maori settlement in the early 1800’s through to a vibrant Chinese market gardening community and European settlement.

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.

For this unit we are in one of four teams: Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers. My team is Brumbies will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

I'm really excited about the world cup and how much it would bring people from around the world together.

Science fiction proved wrong !

One movie I saw about flying was Iron man , it was about a super hero who wanted to fight crime and used a jet pack to fly and save a people. Glen Martian may have proved that someday we can all fly. The Kiwi engineer showed TV1 viewers how high his super fans on his Martian jet pack can go. To be careful he had to use a dummy first to test fly his jet pack to see if it was safe for him to fly.
It was a magnificent day for New Zealanders because it was the first jet pack to fly 5000ft.

“Rock Up” was my best activity at camp. There was new and exciting activities to explore. They were lots up for garbs there were chocolate and fizzes drinks and everyone wanted it. The activities I wanted to do most was the Rock Climbing.

The Dunker was a cool and refreshing activity that cool you off if someone hits the Target . Rock climbing was here and I thought that I was going to do it blind folded I wish didn't do it but it was worth 5 points so I had to do it. It was hard and it was pitch black too. I couldn't see any thing I had to yous my senses. Higher and Higher I went up the rock wall every saying left,right if that wasn't hard enough.

I made it everyone was cheering I was so happy

David Tua vs Demetrice King Backyard Brawl

I couldn't wait until the main event there were many boxing matches but that made me jump up and down more. Here it was Tua vs King. Ding, ding, ding, round 1. David is picking up his speed in his punching but Demetrice King holding his ground. David and Demetrice had great hard punching, you can really see it.

David Tua won the first two rounds, but Demetrice King came back with some jabs to the head. David Tua got faster every time. They both wanted to win by KO but they both wouldn't let each other do so. Demetrice King tried to sneak in some good jabs but Davita would not give up.

WOW! great combinations by Tua, it looked like Demetrice King was going to get knocked out but some how he could take what even David could dish out.
