Last Woodworks Class For The Year

For the last Day of Tech I had a little bit to do. I just had to put the front of the helicopter on and add the perpilors to it which was easy but long because it took half the leason for him to get to me which was very annoying but I did get it done at the end of the lesson which was good. To be honest I think my helicopter turned out good in the end. I think I did a good job on making it.

Trip To Rainbows End!

On the 31st of August I went to Rainbows End. We went to Rainbows End for Riiana's birthday.

When we first got there we went on the stratosfear. On the stratosfear once we let go we were going upside down. The second time we were going upside down I shouted to t-pose to them which was awkward because we could barely stretch our arms.

I then went off on my own to go Go Karting. It was fun because two of the people that were Go Karting got stuck when they were going to park there Go Karts. When it was my turn to go on the Go Karts I came first place because all the other people stopped.

Countdown Is Going To Stop Selling Energy Drinks To Children

In early September, people will need to be 16 or older to buy energy drinks.

The new move has had widespread support from health professionals throughout New Zealand. Many suggesting the government should bring in tighter rules, but the New Zealand Beverage Council, a group representing drink manufacturers, said it was disappointed at Countdown’s decision.

Flu Vaccine Shortage In New Zealand

Around all of New Zealand there as been a shortage of Flu Vaccine. A week into flu season only 1.3 million  people around New Zealand have taken their flu shots. That is almost the same flu shots that were taken last year.

I think having a flu vaccine shortage is bad because if the vaccine runs out that means the people that didn't get their shots wont be as immune to sickness and then they will get sick and if they are in public they might get people around them sick and that is not good.

Teacher Strike 2019

Around 50,000 teachers in New Zealand went on strike and didn't show up for school so that means around 750,000 students were not taught according to a Kiwi Kids news article. I for one really like that the teachers went on strike because that means no school but it wasn't good for the teachers because some teachers that go on strike meant they get less money even though they are going on strike for the money.


The government and the teachers are currently in  negotiations to decide how much the teachers get paid for the next three years.
