Peter
King is an weird and unsociable teenager with many odd hobbies. He was
forced to go on a school wilderness camp in the Wanoom Peninsula with a
14km walk to the camp site at Whalers Cove.As soon as they get to the camp site Peter is put in a group with Emily, a girl he has never talked
to, Bethany the girlie girl in the camp and Sully the school bully.
The first task they had to do was a navigation exercise in a dense
forest. They were given a sheet of instructions, a map, a GPS and a
compass.They were told that they had to find four markers in the forest.
As soon as they start the exercise Sully takes charge of the group and
takes the lead. They start taking short cuts and as soon as they know
it they are lost. Now all they have is a map, a compass, a dying GPS, a
useless sheet of instructions and each other.
My
favourite character is Peter King because at the beginning of the story
he wasn’t liked and didn’t have many friends. He developed and became
more manly and was starting to have friends near the end of the story.
At the end of the story he had become friends with all of his team mates
and had become a responsible and brave person.
I
like this book because it has lots of adventure and it has a thrilling
plot to it.I also I like it because of the way main characters
develop.
One thing I don’t like about the story is that it is predictable because I can predict what's going to happen next.
I
would recommend this book because it has an awesome plot and is
thrilling. I think the appropriate age group is 11yrs and up and I have learnt that
teamwork is easier than doing it alone.

Dear Speaker of the House
Kia
ora. My name is Joseph and I am a year 8 student at Tamaki
Intermediate School.Thank you for welcoming us into the Beehive and
talking to us about parliament.
We
are grateful to you for sharing your time to talk to us about
parliament and your job. Your speech was inspiring and you have taught
me lots about what happens in parliament and what you do in parliament. I
have learnt about the different roles the Ministers play and what they
have to do. You explained to us how issues are debated and laws are
made.
You
motivated me to want to have a job in parliament and I also appreciate
how you were so happy to talk to us and how you gave us an opportunity
to ask you questions.
It was an amazing experience and I would love to meet you again.
Yours sincerely
Joseph
