House Prices

 The avergae house price in Auckland is $780.000.  In other parts of New Zealand the avergae house goes for like 597.000 thousand  which is a lot cheaper than auckland. Greymouth the average house price is only $255,000.  Auckland is one of the world’s most overvalued cities for real estate.  I wonder how people can even afford to buy a house in Auckland when they cost so much!

Current Events

Today in current events we had to pick an article that stood out to us and do a blog post. I picke the one about Dan Carter.  He has switched to playing rugby for the Auckland Blues from France. He was living in France playing rugby and decided to come back to New Zealand to play for the Blues and to live in Auckland.

I think that the blues are gonna win this season becuase they have Beauden Barrett and now they have Dan Carter too.

Jordans 1's

Today in current events we had to pick out a news story and do a blog post about it. I found some interesting things about the shoes that Michael Jordan wore when he was playing for the Chicago Bulls in his rookie year. These shoes sold for just under 1 millon New Zealand dollars in an auction!

What's in the news this week?

Kia ora,  today we did current events quiz which we do every Thursday or friday.  One of the questions was about how the Ministry of  Conservation is doing a new trial  with their new project where they will release a big drone to try and track down the predators to try and keep control of pests in New Zealand. They are going to do 3 tests with it and hope it will be ready for full use in 2022.  It cost $790,000. My opinoin is that its not going to work and its going to end up like 1080 and its going to be the best what is your opinoin.

Current Events: Area 51 raid

The area 51 raid is happening tomorrow. 2.125.206 millon people are going to the area 51 raid. People have been hyping this up for 5 months. Someone has started a facebook page for people that want to sign up. People have started a new trend saying #they cant stop us all.  Watch the news to see what happens.

What's been in the news this week?

Thirteen common dolphins were found dead in Marlborough Sounds. They do not know why the dolphins stranded on the island because they did not look sick.

My opinion is that it is very sad that whales and dolphins die from beach stranding.  I hope scientists work out why and fix it soon.

Auckland vs Lime Scooters

Auckland are thinking about permanently banning the lime scooter due to the brakes failing. 
My opinion is to ban them and make something else that the brakes won't jam up and fail on. The council pulled them off the street last week until they fix the problem. Over five people have in hospital.

The council is making the final decision on the ban today. 

What do you think?

What is New Zealand spending 20.7 million on?

New Zealand is spending 20.7 million dollars on new body armour for the police.  The Police Commissioner said that it will be delivered to all Police officers in New Zealand over the next three years. 

It is designed to stop rifle bullets.
My opinion  for the new police gear is that it is going to be good because they say it can stop an rifle bullet which could save a lot of cops lives.
