Today we had people reading with us toitoi books, it was very good, and also my favorite was when we were talking about our hobbies we had fun talking about stuff while we were reading about it.

In my group there was only katrina.We read over 15 stories and we read the long stories first because they were really good and fun like this lost world story about a person on a scouting mission looking around the world because the humans have moved to mars because of the pollution and sickness, the place is thriving with plants,animals like red pandas,monkeys and even got attacked by a white rhino it was a very good story.

Sir Peter Blake was New Zealand’s most celebrated yachtsman who led his team and New Zealand to victory in both the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race and the America’s Cup.

Following his sailing career he turned his focus to helping protect the environment and raising awareness of the issues it faces by voyaging to “environmental pulse points of the planet” and sharing what he discovered. Onboard his exploration vessel, Seamaster, Peter  and his crew visited Antarctica to look at the impacts of climate change, and then to the Amazon to look at the impacts of deforestation.

Tragically, Sir Peter was killed while carrying out this work. His death cut short his vision to inspire millions of people around the world to care more about the environment and take action to protect it.

The Sir Peter Blake Trust (BLAKE) was established in 2004 and is dedicated to continuing his environmental leadership legacy.

Each year BLAKE aims to inspire thousands of young New Zealanders to care for the environment through activities and adventures that encourages environmental awareness and leadership, and show a deeper sense of kaitiakitanga within them.
