Sam, Skye and I went to the Maatangi Whenua competition, deciding it would be good fun, and we would get free pizza out of it.

I need to mention, although being Level One Geography students our knowledge was not quite extensive. We put up a fair fight though and went through the multitude of tasks doing as much as we knew and guessing others. Fighting over what category Kaikoura fit into and how to do a 3D model with play dough. All in all, lots of people showed up, and Summer, like the star she is, even managed to get some pretty good answers through in the final round and butchered others. Skye even thought that choking on sour patch kids in the van would be his highlight of the night, only to do the same exact thing two days later in the exact same van. Common theme right? 

Maatangi Whenua was an awesome opportunity to bond with my classmates, and to pick my brain for some Geographical knowledge whilst communicating with my teammates to try and achieve a good place. Overall, it was a pretty memorable night and I'll make sure that Skye never forgets that time he choked on sour patch kids at 9pm in a van. Thank you to Miss Brorens, and Miss Munro for giving us the opportunity to represent the school and allowing us to have an awesome time!
