On Friday the 9th of September, Jonah Lomu, AKA the human steamroller stepped on the legendary field once again, for the opening ceremony of the rugby world cup, held at Eden Park to greet fans from all around the world to New Zealand.
This was followed by Tonga’s anthem and New Zealand’s beautiful national song. Seconds later the horrifying hakas took place, done by Tonga as well as the All Blacks.
Dan Carter kicked off the most anticipated match of the year, (New Zealand vs Tonga), with a big and strong kick. In the first half Israil Dag scored the first try of RWC 2011, followed by a close conversion by Carter. And then, one more try by Richard Kahui followed by another one from Daggs amazing ball skills.
Tonga kicked off the second half and then failed to stop Jerome Kanoi from getting the ball over the line for a try. Then they swapped round a replay as Tonga scored a try followed by Nonus gnarly try putting this one in the bag, in one of the last plays in the match.
F.W.

Rugby World Cup
Recount about opening ceremony
For twenty five years New Zealanders have been waiting for the rugby world cup to come to them! The rugby world cup kicked off at Eden Park on Friday the ninth with an awesome ceremony with fireworks and shows. 10’s of 1000’s people gathered to make NZ history.
Lights, camera, ACTION! The ceremony was full of colours like red lava, blue water and dancing yellow. First of all, a kid named Ethan was playing a game of rugby and then big rugby players came to try and stop him. First he made the try line bend so he could put the ball down. Second he started side-stepping all the rugby players. Thirdly he ran up the players back and jumped into a swimming pool of players with a big splash.
I think that it was a great night and we had lots of fun. I can’t wait for the next RWC to come to NZ.
E.P.

We learnt some fantastic, fun-filled, fascinating facts about the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere.
*DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SKY TOWER IS THE TALLEST TOWER IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE?
*DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN LOOKING OUT FROM THE MAIN OBSERVaTORY YOU CAN SEE APPROXIMATELY 82 KILOMETERS AWAY?
*DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SKY TOWER WEIGHS THE SAME WEIGHT AS 6000 ELEPHANTS?
*DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SKY TOWER IS MADE OF 3 MAIN MATERIALS; GLASS, METAL AND CONCRETE?
*DID YOU KNOW THAT IT TOOK 33 MOUNTHS TO BUILD THE SKY TOWER?
*DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE 51 LEVELS TO THE MAIN OBSERVATION DECK?
*DID YOU KNOW THEY USE SOMETHING CALLED A DYNO SPHERE TO RELEASE THE LIGHTNING UNDERGROUND SO NOBODY GETS HURT?
*DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LIFTS IN THE SKY TOWER TRAVEL AT 18 KILOMETERS AN HOUR MAKING THE TRIP FROM THE GROUND TO THE MAIN OBSERVATION LEVEL A QUICK 40 SECONDS?
*DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE THREE MAIN EMERGENCY ROOMS CALLED THE REFUGE ROOMS
Highlights of our trip
Our highlights of our trip are...
*watching a 14 minute video about the history of the Sky Tower and NZ!
*going into the lift to the main observation deck.
*looking out from the observation deck.
*going down a few levels of stairs to the refuge room.
*having free time at the observation deck, looking at Rangitoto, Great Barrier island and seeing other cool stuff from the lookout.
*answering questions at the observation deck and if you got it correct you got a green dot if you got it wrong you got a red dot.And the questions were...
*What is the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere?
*What is does the Sky tower weigh?
*How long can you see by looking from the main observation deck?
So at the end everyone had a great time, learning about our new topic (structures) lots of people hope they can next time bring some $money$ and buy something hopefully, so they have a terrific time there. Just to visit though.:)

The awsome trip to the sky tower
On Tuesday 21 september 2011 Botany primary students went to the Sky tower. We learnt that the sky tower is 21 million KG!!WOW that's heavy.
More than 1000 people built it.The sky tower can withstand winds up to 200 kph now that's an amazing structure.
The sky tower is the tallest building around even bigger than the Effiel tower,Statue of Liberty,and the Empire State building.
At a normal pace it would take someone about 24 minutes to climb 1,029 steps to the main obeservation level.
The sky tower lifts travel at 18 kilometers per hour, making a trip to the main observation level a quick 40 seconds.
It was built by August 3 1997 and took 33 months to build this amazing structure out of concrete,glass,and metal.
It has 300 aerials coming off the tip of this man made structure to help t.v and police,ambulance and those types of things.
The best parts were when we could stare out the lift and look down the bottom and looking at the sky deck.
In the the end some people were talking about how awesome the Sky tower was and what they had learnt I also heard someone say that our new topic was awesome.
