Tell me one interesting fact about each of these features of the Waitemata:

Auckland’s chief port - Ngāti Whātua's lands border four harbours - Hokianga, Kaipara, Waitematā and Manukau

Viaduct basin - The Viaduct Basin, site of the old fishing harbour, was redeveloped in the mid-1990s as a site where the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron could host the America’s Cup in 1999 and 2003.

Westhaven - Westhaven Marina, with 1,800 berths, is the largest managed marina in Australasia, and a symbol of Aucklanders’ love of sailing.

Harbour bridge - The Auckland Harbour Bridge (1,020 m long) was opened in 1959 to link the Auckland isthmus with the north.

Greenhithe bridge - The Greenhithe Bridge was built in 1975 as an alternative harbour crossing, spanning the upper Waitematā from Hobsonville to Greenhithe on the North Shore.

Natural features - Natural features of the Waitematā include Meola reef (also known as The Tokoroa, meaning ‘a long reef’), a rocky submarine promontory.

Xtramaths Mosese Term 4

Camp Concert Recount 2013

“Woo hoo!” I said as it was the time for the amazing camp concert, I had waited all week to show off with my awesome dance.                                          

As I watched the other groups, my excitement grew, it was nearly my time and I couldn’t wait

Mr Johnston and Ms Kirkpatrick watched eagerly as if they were just waiting for us to do our cool dance moves. I knew it was going to be one of the best in show.

They called out my group name and I walked up, slipped on my jacket and did the dance. It was great.

As soon as I knew it, my dance was over and the whole room was clapping and cheering for us. We were the best.

Even the teacher came up and thanked me, for our great skills. I enjoyed my night as I sat down with a smile on my face.

This was my camp concert it was fun.
