Dan Carter moving to the Blues

Dan Carter is moving rugby teams to the Auckland Blues but he is from Christchurch. The Blues have a lot of good players this year like Beauden Barrett and I think that they will win every game they play because of how many good players they have.  The Super Rugby Aotearoa competition starts this weekend.

Pod of Dolphins spotted in a Waikato River

There was a pod of 60 Dolphins that swam up the Piako River in Waikato. When bystanders  saw the dolphins they took photos and filmed a video. They were 24 km inland. People think they were chasing food up there.  This is the biggest pod of dolphins seen up the river in 50 years.

Persuasive Writing

Persuasive writing

Have you been in an airplane for more than 10 hours well a
big airplane because one of the biggest airplanes in the world is
going to go out of business and that plane is the A380 because
they cost too much to run and because of fuel cost.but how will
the government travel around the world and were will all the
money go when they disappear and I don't want that to happen
because I really want to go on one because of how big they are
and that is why i would like to go on one.

Reason one:The A380 is so big it costs to munch to run and to
munch money to build it something around 15 million dollars to
build or something around that price.

Reason two:The A380 is so big that it can comfort 2,800

People and it is 845 square metres big that is bigger than a
house.

Reason three:The A380 is ten years old and that isn't very old
but I get how big it is but what about the government getting
around the world in style.

I think that these reasons are good enough to keep the A380
alive and I think that's why I think the A380 should stay alive.
