Devon Intermediate Sports Exchange!

This week I was privileged to participate in the Devon sports exchange that happens, every year either Mokoia or  Devon Intermediate travels down to each others schools to challenge each other in a sports fixture to win/defend the Richard Thompson trophy. About 60 students come down to play there desired sport, because there were approximately 60 students 60 lucky Mokoia Students (I was one of them) were able to billet a Devon Student. I billeted a lovely girl called Madde she was awesome! She was really interested in horses so she rode my pony called Kaia and she loved it :) I really enjoyed billeting and it was an amazing experiance and skill to have learned. I am in the Year 8 A Netball Team and we won against Devon 34/8 and all the rest of the Mokoia Teams won except the rugby so overall Mokoia Intermedieate defended the trophy. YAY YAY YAY!!! So in conclusion the Devon and Mokoia sports exchange/fixture was an AMAZING experience and I hope I can do it again one day in the future :)

Stormbreaker Report

My class watched the movie Stormbreaker after we had read the amazing novel by Anthony Horowitz. Here is the comparison with the book and the movie...

In the movie Alex Rider stands up in front of the class and talks about his uncles job as a "businessman" in the book he doesn't do that. Also in the movie it introduced a girl called Sabrina that appeared about 4 times in the book there was no girl mentioned.

The old tin mine:
In the book alex comes across the old tin mine after being chased by 4 quad bikes and then escaping after driving a quad and its driver over the edge of a cliff and then discovering the tin mine. In the movie he just happens to know where the mine is, how to get to it and what to do when he gets in and there are men there engineering the stormbreaker.

Nadia Vole:
The character Nadia Vole appeared just as i imagined she would be. Evil, ugly, suspicious and creepy.

Alex Rider: 
Alex Rider was played by Alex Pettyfer who played him amazingly!!!

Overall:
Overall the movie was awesome and i loved the book :)
