Matamata has just been celebrating the centenial ballot. This is when they divided up the firth Estate a hundred years ago. On Thursday last week I went to the historical Firth Tower. There I was schooled for an hour as they were a hundred years ago at Gordonton School Matamata, Kiwiland. During the school hour Kurt Hillis (a very annoying boy in my class at school)almost got the strap!!!! After that I went to a spot the difference thing where you went into a house and you had to spot the things that were from modern times. In the bedroom it was pretty obvious as they had a TV, a torch and a digital clock - ha ha! Later we went and did the olden day washing. Some of you will know what this is. We shown how they used to use the copper, the dolly and the mangle.
Today we went to Rotten Rua (Rotorua) trout fishing. The local anglers showed us how to cast and supervised/instructed us while we were fishing at a hatchery. We all caught one trout. Mine weighed .585kg. It took me about 30 mins to catch one. For about 28 minutes I was very bored! But it was cool when we caught the trout.
