Christmas Celebrated in China

All over the world Christmas is celebrated in different was then other country's. In China very Christmas different to other country's did you know that in China One of the most popular Christmas traditions in China is to hang beautiful lanterns indoors and outdoors and strung around a plastic Christmas Tree called “Tree Of Light”. Also as in Western culture Christmas day involves a family feast. But instead of the Western traditional turkey or ham Chinese families are most likely to eat food associated with Chinese New Year. And finally in China only about 1% percent of Chinese are Christians so only few people celebrate Christmas. In China Christmas is only celebrated in major cities. In these big cities there are Christmas Trees and other decorations on the streets and department stores.

Year 6 Bike Ride

A few weeks a go some of the Year 6's went on a bike ride everyone in the group was exited first we had to get the school bikes from Mr Hitch-man when we got our bikes we put them on the trailers some parent volunteers brought with them my mum was a volunteer she brought the big car we have so she could bring her bike. Me and Brock where with my mum when we got there we got our bikes put on some sun block if we didn't have any on already when I put on sun block I'm as white as a ghost. when we started of we where fine but as we moved on forward we came across a hill that was the hardest part of the first part of the track you can tell from my face expression.  

 After the howl ride we had McDonald's I ordered a small hot fudge sundae with a flake then we went back to school and put our bikes away and then went home.  

Whetu Survival Rotations

Today  we had Whetu survival rotations because it was our last day for Whetu survival. The first rotation was making a baked potato and a banana with marshmallows and chocolate chips.

The second rotation was a treasure hunt for letters and there where two clues the main clue was "What do bears call people in a sleeping bag" at the end we had to guess what bears call people in a sleeping bag the answer is Burrito.

The last rotation was campfire making they way you had to do it is you had to make the grass in the middle like a con the put the smaller sticks on like a tea-pea and then put the bigger stick on like a tea-pea as well. We also where able to make sparks with a flint & steel when everyone did both things Mrs Kennedy tried to make a fire out of paper but it was to windy to start the fire. 

            After all of that we where able to eat the baked potato and the BBQ banana the BBQ banana was really good I didn't eat the potato because I'm saving it for my mum.
