Things about my town

I live in Hokitika. The things I like about my town is that we have a museum and it has dinosaur bones and gold. People used to mine for gold in the 1880's. The dinosaur bones look like crocodiles. We can go body boarding and surfing because there is a beach with medium waves. We have a concrete boat by the Hokitika Beach called the Tambo. There are tables on the boat where people can eat. I like to eat fish and chips on the boat.

  1. Kia Ora Jack,

    My name is Rachel and I am working on the Summer Learning Journey programme this year. It is wonderful to see that you have joined us this summer! I have really enjoyed reading your posts and learning more about your hometown of Hokitika. It sounds like you live in a really cool place. I love the sound of eating fish 'n chips in a boat. I have never done that before! Has your family been to Tambo?

    I currently live in Auckland with my family and we really like it up here. There are a couple of great surf beaches, including Piha, which is about 30 minutes by car from our house. My partner, Andy, doesn't surf but a lot of his friends do so we sometimes go out to Piha to watch people surf. It looks pretty tricky to me. Have you tried it?

    I hope that you'll have time to write back and that you will also have time, this month, to completed some more activities for the SLJ. We'd love to continue the learning journey with you.

    Bye for now!

    Rachel :)

    1. I live at the beach my dad tries to surf, me and my brothers go body boarding. I like the waves fizzing on my back.

    2. Hi Jack,

      Wow, you are really lucky to live at the beach. I have heard that there is nothing quite like surfing. I will have to give it a try one of these days!

      Enjoy the surf :)

      Cheers,
      Rachel
