Moana reading activity


http://www.rotoruadailypost.co.nz/news/x-factor-judge-brings-tour-to-rotorua/1875550/


I chose this article because Stan Walker is a X factor judge and it interests me that he is doing a world tour and starting right here in Rotorua, New Zealand. Stan Walker is a good singer and judge but he is not my favourite singer or judge, my faviroute judge is Melonie Blatt, and my faviroute singer is a whole lot so I am not going to list them.



This is the X factor judge Stan WalkerStan Walker is coming to Rotorua.

Term 1

The best thing that happened last term was when we went to camp because we got to do lots of activities and it was  good way to get to know people.

Last term I made some knew friends in Kaituna, Puarenga, and Waiteti.

One thing I did not enjoy was writing because we did not get to write much.

I enjoyed swimming sports, maths, and reading because they are all my faviroute subjects along with writing but we didn't get to do much so it wasn't as good as the other subjects.
