Taranaki vs Waikato

On Friday the 18th of September 2015 Jorja, Dad and I went up to Yarrows stadium in New Plymouth to watch the Tāranaki Bulls vs Waikato and Taranaki thrashed Waikato with a 41-0 win with 5 try's scored and converted also 2 penalties converted. The man of the match went to Berny Hall who plays for Taranaki. It was old timers day so they had to wear there JD Hickman premiorship socks and since next year Hika Elloit is playing for Coastal Rugby he wore some socks that dad gave to him. Jorja and I were on TV 4 times and we caught a loaf of bread and a packet of lollies. After the game was over we went down on the field and got photos with players and there autograph. We got players like Seita Tamivaliu and Berny Hall. Then on the way home we got MC Donald's and then went straight to bed.

MT SPA X-Country 2015

Today was the MT SPA X-Country which was held at the Manaia Domain by the Golf course. In the age group I ran in I got 6th and 4th out of Auroa School. The course that we ran was 2km long but it felt like it was only a 1km run. Bethany came 1st, Tiani got 3rd, Paige got 4th, Caro (me) got 6th Sophie O got 7th and I think Ebony got 9th. Auroa won 2 races the 9 and under girls and the 10 year old boys. The next competition we go to is Tāranaki X-Country. Good luck to everybody who is traveling to Hāwera on Wedensday. " GOOD LUCK".

Caros Photographic Tour of Opunake

The Coastline Of Opunake from Myles Webb on Vimeo.

Yesterday me and my sisters went to stay at our Nanna and Grandad's house and we decided to go for a walk along the coastline of Opunake. First we went past a river called Namu where my Dad use to go swimming. Opunake is located in Taranaki, New Zealand. Then we went down the main beach of Opunake and went on the swings. Granddad and I went to take some phtos. Also Opunake is the safest beach in Taranaki. But if you don't agree with me comment down below also comment which video was better.

Virginia 1788



Hi over the past days I have had a comment from one of the best bloggers in the world called Mrs Yollis. She asked me what this coin was and I said "It's the Virginia 1788 coin also with Jamestown 1607-2007" The mint mark is: D. The total amount produced is 651,616,000. It is worth 0.25 cent in USD. A rendering of the arrival in 1607 of the three ships, Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement, is accompanied with the legends "JAMESTOWN 1607-2007" and "QUADRICENTENNIAL. Also on the bottom it has 2000 and the word "E PLURIBUS UNUM" If you know anymore information please comment down below.
