The neighbours in Tonga are both islands Samoa and Fiji,but in Ireland there is England Wales and Scotland as their neighbours, three big countries.

In New Zealand the capital city is Wellington and 195,000 live in Wellington. New Zealand's other major cities are Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch but in USA the other major cities are New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. My neigbours are Canada and Mexico.

there is only 4.4 million. In South Africa 632,000 people play rugby, in New Zealand 138,000 play rugby. The time zone in South Africa is 27 hours behind New Zealand time, so if it is 10am on Wednesday in NZ it will be 7am Tuesday morning in South Africa.

Mrs Logan an author
On the 17 August 2011 Mrs Logan come along and read us her wonderful stories about history in the Manawatu region. One of Mrs Logan's stories is going to be published and is very suitable for kids. Miss Inskeep who used to be a DP at our school brought Mrs Logan along. We all enjoyed her stories and hope she is able to come in again. We know she is looking for children to illustrate some of her stories.
