Highlanders

Highlanders

The Highlanders are a New Zealand Rugby Union team based in Dunedin that competes in Super Rugby. The team was formed in 1996 to represent the lower South Island in the newly formed Super 12 competition, and includes the Otago, North Otago and Southland unions.

Ben Smith has captained the Highlanders for years he has captained them about 135 times he is my favourite player he is the fullback or winger.The stadiums that the Highlanders play in are Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin and Rugby Park in Invercargill..

The Highlanders head coach is a former Crusaders player Aaron Mauger. Aaron Mauger was an All Black a very good all black. After the 2007 Rugby World cup he received a contract from the Leicester Tigers for 2 and a half years and he accepted. Leicester is a city in england.

The Highlanders are my favourite club in New Zealand. There are only two clubs in the South Island of New Zealand, they are the Highlanders and Crusaders.

The Highlanders are coming 4th on the table in the New Zealand Conference in the 2019 season. They lost their finals match against crusaders

Places in Kumara

This morning we had to put labels of places we knew in Kumara some were up on the bord to help us.

Weekend

On Sunday I went for a bike ride with Karen, Dad and Rylee to the Taramakau Bridge from Greenstone Road. We went because Dad got a new bike and we have family day on Sunday. It was pretty cool because when we got to the Taramakau Bridge we got to have a swim and we got to have some food and some water because we were all really thirsty and tired.

The bike track was through the bush at the Taramakau Bridge. They made a bike road, it's like a road but for a bike. It even had a roundabout; it was really cool. There were a lot of other people on bikes biking around where we were and there were lots of cars as well. On the way home my butt was really sore and it was really tiring but Dad got home really quickly and brought the truck to pick us up.

On Friday and Saturday I did nothing but sit on the couch and watch TV. On Saturday there was a Warriors game, the Warriors won 40 to 6 against the Bulldogs. On Friday there was a rugby game Hurricanes vs Chiefs, it was a 23 all draw and the Hurricanes are one of the top teams and the Chiefs haven't won a game in the whole 2019 season. Sadly it was Monday again and I had to go to school and that wrecked the whole weekend.

Labradors Report

Labradors are large type of retriever-gun dog. A Labrador is one of the most popular breeds of dog in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Labradors were bred for physically demanding jobs, and they have the high energy that goes along with being a working breed. They need at least 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day. Without it, they can vent their pent-up energy in destructive ways, such as barking and chewing. Are Labs Smart? Labradors in general are considered smart dogs, ranking in at seventh place for the brightest dog breed in the world. Whatever the colour, the Labrador Retriever remains a favorite breed due to its adorable, kind and intelligent nature, making it extremely trainable in all aspects.

When you have a disease labs are the best dog to have because they calm you down because they know if you are sick. Labs are the most commonly-used breed for guide dogs. The colors of labs are Black, Chocolate, and Golden. hunt for birds and fish and they are very fast as well which is good for hunting. Labradors are also America's favourite breed which is pretty good and they are good dogs and a lot of other countries love them as well.

The Labrador Retriever was bred to be both a friendly companion and a useful working dog breed. Historically, he earned his keep as a fisherman’s helper: hauling nets, fetching ropes, and retrieving fish from the chilly North Atlantic. Today’s Labrador Retriever is as good-natured and hard working as his ancestors, and he’s America’s most popular breed. These days the Lab works as a retriever for hunters, assistance dog to the handicapped, show competitor, and search and rescue dog, among other canine jobs.

To keep your dog in great condition, he needs the right diet and plenty of exercise. You probably want to know exactly how much exercise your Labrador needs on a daily basis.
