Kayaking At Vector Wero Whitewater Park !

Today Room 8 went on a trip to Vector wero whitewater park, we got the chance to kayak with professionals and wear swimsuits. Once we all had the special gear on we had to get in a line from the shortest to tallest. The reason for that was because the instructors needed to give us the right kayak that our legs and our body could fit in. After that we got to go in the water. A Lot of people were struggling in the beginning but they got the hang of it. We had to follow the instructors all the way to the bridge. We learnt heaps from today and it was super cool.

Wellingtons Nz's Fittest City...

Wellington has been ranked the fittest city. The capital seized the title based on the public transport and the clean fresh air. American International Assurance says that people from wellington walk more and use public transport based on a public health study discharged last year. More than a quarter of all trips made by wellington between 2008 and 2014 were walking trips, the lowest rank was hamilton. According to AIA  10 percent of all deaths are caused by physical inactivity. Hopefully the whole of new zealand can get a lot more fitter and use our legs more.

Not Selling Energy Drinks To Children !

Countdown has now enforced a age restriction of buying energy drinks. You will have to be 16 and over to buy energy drinks from early september. Countdown is introducing the age restriction because of the high level of sugar and caffeine.

Energy drinks are not supposedly for young children, it also has warnings on the package. The new zealand beverage council said it was disappointed at countdowns decision. They said that energy drinks were fit to consume in moderation, and the restriction could make children crave them even more.
