Dear Family                                                                                                  

I have been thinking about you guys all the time. I hope everything going well, It has been a Rough few months  out at sea  trying to   make our way over the world to England. To try and meet king George IV. Busy on the Ship last night there was a big storm, I was up all night helping out with the crew with the Broken hole in   our Boat, but by the time morning had come the storm had passed over . We finally made it a couple of weeks after we expected but at least we made it We made a 6 hour Hike from the sea to get  there too get to the king  after we had seen the King he gave us  some gifts on recognition of Hongi's help in introducing Christianity to the Maori people. I decided we should make the Journey back over to New Zealand But on the way over stop in Sydney. While we were over in Sydney we exchanged King Georges gifts with Muskets and ammunition, To help us fight over in New Zealand. After our Journey in Sydney we made it back to the ship. It was very late by the time we got back to the boat somewhere around Midnight but we had to Determined to New Zealand we Travelled through the Tasman sea and Finally reached back to New Zealand.There have been lots of wars happening again. Sorry got to go  Cant wait to see you in a couple of years hopefully.

THE BUG MAN

Last Friday Ruud Kleinpaste aka the Bug Man. He came in because last last year a group of people from our school went in a competition called Tremendous where they design on a peace of area of the school they want to improve on in our school they wanted to build an out door class room and a little board walk by the ditch near the play ground and the won the competition so they won some money and Ruud came in to talk to us about different bugs. The people in the group got to see some different species after. My Favorite things he talked about was the sloth and how slow it goes and how it goes so slowly down the trees to go toilet and then slowly back up and how he went overseas and he saw some blue Butterflys at the top of some tall trees but the camera couldnt reach the bird so then he went into the village and asked every one how can you get  those birds down the tree then one of the villagers said you have to be like the bird, So he went and to find something blue and in the end he painted himself blue and then the birds came down to see what that blue thing was and then they got some good pictures.
