Our Garden
Outside room 11 is a garden. But the people from Tamaki College came and took them all out and had to replace with new ones. So I chose the Hibiscus plant because it is one of the most beautiful plant that I have ever seen in my life. The Hibiscus is the national plant from Haiti.
Here is the Hibiscus plant:

Stars Backing Black
The All Blacks may have just won the Rugby World Cup but they also have fans that were supporting them as well. Ahead of the big final the boys in black have some words of support from a well know super star as well as congratulations on their record breaking win. Celebrities including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, David Hasselhoff, Russell Crowe, Snoop Dogg, One Direction’s Niall Horan, Lorde, Justin Bieber and even Prince Harry (after England was eliminated) are just some of the stars who are backing black.

Carter And McCaw Finish On A High
The Two mates Dan Carter and Richie McCaw ended there careers with a amazing play at the stadium at Twickenham in London. Carter's performance was as good as any of his 111 test matches. He was the All Blacks top tackler. Including the 19-points from that drop goal of his. Richie McCaw the captain of the All Blacks and the person with 148 test matches. McCaw was in fine form against the Wallabies back rowers. Steve Hansen said:
“McCaw is the greatest All Black we've ever had, and Dan’s a close second.”
“The only thing that separates them is one’s a flanker and you shouldn't play 148 Tests as a flanker. That’s unheard of.”

The Airport
On October the 17th we had to go to the airport. We had to go pick up my sister Senila . But there was only one problem, we got there a whole hour early! so I asked my mum if we could go to McDonald's but she said no. So I asked again and again until she got really annoyed, gave up and said yes. It was 11:00 when we saw my sister at the gates. When she came out the gates I asked her if she had bought me anything.

Jupiter
Jupiter is the biggest planet and is the fifth planet from the sun.There are large clouds circling around Jupiter. The winds blow the orange cloud one way and the rest blow opposite. Jupiter's big orange spot is a massive storm cloud that swirls around like a hurricane. Jupiter has lots of moons and two are Ganymede & Callisto. It spins on its axis faster than any other planets.

Mad Messenger
Yesterday we went to a mad messenger lesson. The lesson was all about us and how we had to get all of our feelings and put them on the board. This photo is of my class and a drawing of Iron Man that Petia created.
