Main Stars ~ Play A Board Game

For this main star we had to play a board game with our family then upload it to a blog with photos and instructions as proof. 

Me and my family played The Terrific Tuatara Trail game. I chose this game because it is a good game to play as it is full of New Zealand trivia questions.

Here are the brief rules of play for this game. Each player has a New Zealand animal / insect token. Their objective is to get the highest score out of everyone. You have to answer New Zealand questions based on timeline, geography and facts. Each correct answer gives you a tuatara body part.

You need 4 Tuataras made up of 3 body parts each. Once you have all these, the game stops and everyone turns over the body parts to reveal insects. Each insect is worth points (Weta would give you 2 points a Dung Beetle and Millipede gives you one point each). Whoever has the most wins the game.  My Sister won the game but I am pretty sure she cheated!

Main STar ~ DO a DLO

This week we made pizzas! The reason we made the pizzas is because we went to Harold. The pizzas were very yummy.

On the pizzas, we could choose any type of topping. There was meat, dairy and vegetables that we could use.

I reckon the best part about the pizzas was eating them!

Main Star ~ Write a book review

Bio:
This book is about the two camps of Roman and Greek mythology, camp half blood and camp Jupiter.  Their goals are to join forces with the Gods and take down the forces of Gaia and the giants.

My thoughts on this book are that this is the best book in the set at the moment because it has the most action out of all the books. I would give this book a 5/5 star rating because I love action type books

This is a video showing under the water at the Coal Creek falls. I clipped it as the original went for 39 seconds which was too long for this blog.

Here is a photo of the trees that were blown over in the big storm that happened last week. 


Here is some more threes that had fallen over. 


Here is a photo of the falls with my sister and me taking videos and photos of under the water with my GoPro. We didn't see any fish.

I didn't go swiming becuase I had a cold and Mum wouldn't let me get too wet.
