Who’s your favourite book character and why?
My favourite book character is TinTin.

Why? Because I like the movies and action he is in, he has a really cute dog named Snowy who is really fluffy. His books are really cool because they are in comic style. He is brave, kind, nice and curious.

2017 Athletics Reflection

I represented my house by wearing my house colours which is Rata and by getting pozies for Rata and supporting Rata.


I helped out in every activity because I had an injury and I did it well because whoever was running it said good job to me.


It was challenging for me not getting to do athletics because I really wanted to do all the activities that we went to but I had an injury so I had to help out.
