Wero Whitewater Trip!

Last Friday Room 12 and I went on a trip to Wero Whitewater Park. It was my first time that I've gained knowledge and experienced new things from rafting. 

The best part that made my day was, rafting, swimming around the river and eating.

I just want to say a big thank you to the instructor who took care of my group, 

I had lots of fun and I hope we can organise another trip there.

I really appreciate you guys heaps!

Fungal Disease Killing Kakapo

A deadly fungal disease is the reason why seven Kakapo have died in the last few months.

One of the Kakapo that has died was 100 years old. He was one of the sickest ones who had been treated in the New Zealand Center Conservation Medicine at Auckland Zoo.

There are now 35 Kakapo in three hospitals around the country. 160 birds remain alive in New Zealand.

The sick birds have been provided with their favourite native plants to eat and have been medicated twice a day.

It is important to keep our native animals safe and healthy.

Tornado Hits Northland And Damages House

Around a dozen houses in Northland have been damaged by a tornado and strong winds this morning.

Cooper's Beach area has been damaged by roof tops getting lifted up from the tornado. There has been no reports of serious injuries which is good. However Cooper's Beach residents had said that it was a frightening experience but they had saved themselves by ducking into a motel from the tornado that had nearly hit them.

From me I hope that their safe.
