Emma Twigg Article

 Twigg Races across the water


By Samuel


 Emma Twigg won the finals in the Girls Single Sculls at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday.

¨I cant believe i actually  crossed the line really made me happy,i thought i would never get past the line”. Emma Twigg was in the front the whole time but in the end she must have used all her energy because after she was so puffed. 


Twigg started rowing in 2001 for Hawkes Bay Rowing Club and Napier Girls High School. Within two years she was representing New Zealand for the first time at the 2003 world Rowing Junior Championship in Athens, Greece as part of the women's eight. After two years in this boat class, Emma switched Junior Championships and placed 4th at the World Rowing U23.



In conclusion she's the best rower I know and can't wait to see her next year.

 When I play rugby or any sports I feel happy and after half time I feel exhausted but I keep on going.

book review

 Title:billionaire boy     

  Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a million pounds? or a trillion? 

Or even a gazillion? Meet Joe spud.
  

The  author is David Williams and  the illustrator is  Tony Ross. He has  lots of  books like  Demon Dentist , BIllionaire Boy and Gangsta Granny 


  There are lots of charters but these are the three main ones. Joe, Mr Spud, and Bob.   

Billionaire BoyJoe is rich. Joe used to go to a private school but now he goes to a normal school, he's got one friend who has the nickname Blob. 

Mr Spud is Joe's dad, they were poor but then he became rich, so rich that they would blow their noses with their money. Mr Spud lives in a mansion. 

Bob (also known as blob) is poor but he LOVES chocolate and he is Joe's only friend…


My favourite character is Bob because he was really nice and wasn't bossy like Joe was.

I rate this book 4 stars out of 5 because I thought this book was great but the end wasn't the best for me because when they became poor their life turned upside down. I think that this book is for ages 5+.

In conclusion you should go to your library and find the book now!

Refugee walk

At (NBC) New Brighton Catholic School the senior syndicate went on a walk in the red zone. We pretended that we were refugees and did fun activities. The first activity was building shelters. We had to get tarp and rope and tie up the shelters but before we did that we did we had rice. We also had an experience at the border where two teachers were speaking different languages. I don't think I would like to be a refugee because it would be hard and you might not have much food.
