Dear Mrs Peacock

Thanks heaps for taking your valuable time to come and drive us around in the Amazing Race. With out you and the rest of the parents that helped out during the week, this activity would not be possible.

It was pretty cool how at the start of the day we were coming last but then at the end of the day we came 10th or something (thanks to your driving). I liked it how you helped us through out the whole day and even when we were coming last you still supported us.

I liked it how we all worked as a team especially orienteering... until we found the other teams and just followed them half the way. I found it pretty funny how nearly every time we found a clue we all froze while opening the envelope under the pressure. The maze was pretty funny as well. We all had no idea were to go. I think that was probably one of the things that slowed us down on that day, along with the blo cart activity.

My favorite activity out of the whole thing was scuba diving which I did on the last day. It felt really different and the whole time I had to breath out of my mouth which felt a bit strange. I had to swim through two hoops, then go down to the bottom of the pool and grab these photos out of a bag and write down what sort of fish they were. To get the clew I had to once again swim down to the bottom of the pool and lift a whole lot of crates up and swim under to get it.

When you told us that you weren’t coming the next day Taylor and I were pretty gutted.

Once again a big thank you!!!

Dear Te Puia

Thank you very much for letting us come onto your site for our Amazing Race activity. You guys were a big part in the race. I know that you don’t usually let school kids onto your land but thank you for letting us on it.

I found it very interesting seeing all the different carvings and flax designs. I’ve never seen how people make them in person and if carving were my job it would taking me ages just to do a short little one.

The walk around the area was very interesting as well, in fact I found the whole place interesting... Maybe apart from the smell. The mud bubbles were cool how they just blobbed up and then back down.

My favourite part was the kiwi dojo. It was awesome. Again, that was my first time seeing a kiwi in person. Some other activities we did were, Scuba Diving, Making our own fish’n chips and we had to find our way through a massive maze. Overall the whole Race was awesome fun.

Once agin Thank You very much !
