Trip to Willowbank

4th of June, me and my fellow students went to willow bank. We got in the bus at 8:50, it'll take us 20 minutes in order to get there. While we were at the bus me and my mates started making jokes about a filo meme, we also sang and made funny faces. After 20 minutes we arrived to our destination which is willow bank. After we arrived we separated in 3 groups and our teacher gave us 2 packets of food of animals. The teacher also told us not to feed the animals that has caution that visitors like us shouldn't feed them. At the start we got 20 minutes free time to walk around the reserve, and we got told to meet at the same place we separated from after 20 minutes to go to the Kea's . Me and my group spent our 20 minutes looking at the kiwi's and other birds. After our time ran out, we went to the place where me the other 2 groups supposed to meet and went to the room of kea's.

Advice to Year 10 students

Advice to Year 10 students

As a senior student who is currently studying NCEA level 1, there are few thing that i would like to advice for those people that are gonna be doing level 1 next year. It's not gonna be easy to some people, don't lose hope for failing some credits and try your best to pass. To people who are confident in passing level  1 don't slack even though u know you're passing because you never know whats gonna happen. If you've passed level 1 try and still get the remaining credits that you could get. Level 1 is gonna be easy if you just do the works that the teacher has given to you.

Kobe Bryant's death

Kobe Bryant was a professional american basketball player since he was 18 years old. He achieved
and received lots of rewards like 5 NBA championships and two NBA finals mvp and many more .
Kobe retired at the age of 34 years old, he played 20 seasons as professional basketball player for
Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe has given himself the nickname “Black Mamba”.

Kobe was killed in a helicopter crash along with her 13 years old daughter Gianna Bryant in Calabasa,
California last January 20, 2020. I am interested in this news because I have been playing basketball
since I was kid and always looked up to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. He was such an inspiration
to lots of basketball players like me.

Kobe Bryant “Black Mamba”, made an impact and difference to the world especially to women’s
basketball organisation. He also inspired many youths to play basketball by starting the Mamba
Academy where he would train amateur athletes. Kobe’s death affected many people such as his family,
NBA and all the people that he helped. 

Kobe Bryant’s death made me think about how short life is and that we should grab every opportunity
that comes to our life. We should do the things that make us happy because we never know when we
are going to die. It also made me think that we should always show our love to our family and friends
while we’re still around.
