Dear Tony

Thank you for being responsible for us over the amazing race trip. My favourite day was probably the second day when you helped us with the orienteering and we did it really fast so we got into second place. Also doing the maze we also did that really fast sort of. The day I didn’t like was probably the first day when we did that really long walk but the tunnel was cool though. If you didn’t help us with transport the third day wouldn’t have happened. Thank you once more.

Yours sincerely , Josh Gwillim

Dear Redwoods Giftshop

Thank you for letting us utilise your place for our amazing race. It was well appreciated by all the teams. The orienteering was awesome. The thing I like about orienteering was that we had someone in our team quite good at it, so when we started in last place and then we were coming second. I would like to say one more thing thank you for using your time to make this day possible.

Your sincerely

Josh Gwillim

__AMAZING RACE REFLECTION__

__WALT: reflect on our experience of the Amazing Race__ Day one - Te Puna - Katikati - Waihi - Karangahake Gorge

On the first day of the Amazing race we come 20th but we had a bus so we had to wait for a long time after we had finished our actives so we had a disadvantage. The people in my team were Erica, Anna, Keb and me. On the first day we didn’t really work as a team because we always forgot a pen or something so we had to run back to the bus to get them. My favourite active was after we had finished when we looked at all the BEACH HOP cars because we had lots of spear time to use up. The thing our team need to work on was getting our pens and stuff or ready to go.

Day two - Papoma - Te Puke - Rotoura

On the second day of the Amazing Race we come 17th and this time we were in a car so we weren’t in a disadvantage. The person driving us was Anna’s dad his name was Tony. The thing we done best on that day was being organized so when we got to our destination we were ready to go that made our team work really well together. My favourite thing on that was the orienteering I liked it because we had someone really good at it but we all did help him too. The thing we could have done better with was keeping together we sorta walked way from each other a little bit is well.

Day three - Sulphur Point Marina, Sanfords (Industry Study), Earth2Ocean, Master Chicken Fish 'n' Chips, CIty Library, The Art Gallery, The Elms

On the last day of the Amazing Race we come 16 one place better that the day before and we were in a car still so it was good. The person driving us was Anna’s mum for the day. The thing we done good on that day was working as at team because we spilt up on the boats and we done it really quick that help us heaps. My favourite thing was watching Keb dive in the pool at Earth2Ocean that was really exciting. The thing we could have done better was reading the clue probably instead of skim reading the clue that what we done really bad.

**Excellent reflection Josh. Good honesty. I am glad you had a such an awesome time on the Amazing Race and learnt things every day! Nice voice recording too!** **Miss Crone :)**

Thursday 14 April 2011    Why are kiwi are the best. Kiwi's are the best because most people around New Zealand eat of the sea like mussels, kina, crayfish, scallops and snapper and more seafood. We have also live of the bush like deer, pigs and peacocks what we shoot in the bush or catch them with their dogs. The best thing about New zealand is that we have to different cultures so we have different places to explore in New Zealand. We are very good at sport, we have the best rower's, rugby player's, netball player's and basketball player's and because we won the world cup in rugby when it first started and we have people that row most of the days just to get better. We also have some amazing sites from top of mountains write on the water, front some people just watch the waves wash in on a strong windy condition's.
