Dear Santa,

I think I have been a really good boy this year, that is why I should get lots of presents this year so get your little helpers my make me these things, ok?

So here is what I want

I would really like a new laptop because I dropped it last year and it has got a really big dent in the side of it and I am also in the in inquiry class next year at boys college and I would like you use my laptop in it. 

Now what I want is an iPhone 5S because I lost my other phone the other day and I really want a new one so I can text my mum, dad and my friends.  

I would also really want new running shoes for Christmas because the ones I have now are too small for me and they hurt my feet and I am really sport and need some shoes to run in.

The last thing I would like is a $1000 because I want to buy my friends presents.

What matter is what something is, not what it is called. this is that meaning of the the quote (a rose by any other name). It is a commonly quoted of a dialogue in william Shakespeare's play Romeo and juliet.

In 2011 the New Zealand curling team went to the Asia Pacific championships for curling. In this picture it is NZ vs China unfortunately I do not know who won or lost thins game.

Curling is a sport that is played on ice where you have to slide a stone across the ice aiming for a target that is under the ice. You have to try get the stone as close as you can to the middle of the target.

Curling is also known as chess on ice or the roaring game.

The players use curling brooms, stones and curling shoes

21 Jump street is a very funny movie with lots of action. It came out in 2012 and it was directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Starring Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Brie Larson, Dave Franco, Rob Riggle and Ice Cube.

21 jump street is about two guys that are police men and they go under cover at a school to see if they can find the teenagers that are selling drugs at the school and then they have to find the dealers.
They find the person selling the drugs and they go with him to the dealers and everything goes crazy there are lots of gun shots and everything but you will have to watch the movie to see what happens next.

I think the movie is a very good and funny movie and there is a lot of action, the movie makes you just want to keep watching to see what happens next. so i would give the movie about a 9/10.  I would recommend this movie for people 14 and over because it is a little rude and people that like comedy and actions movies.       

This morning all the year 8 boys that are going to Tauranga Boys College next year went to the school to have an orientation of the school and to see what classes they are in. When we got to the school we went into the jim and sat down, then the some people talk about that school and how good it is and the year 9 and 10s  did a haka. after that we all got put into our classes. Once we were in our class groups we walked around that school to see where everything is. nad at the end we all got ice blocks and went back to school.
