Rally racing done by Maui.

WALT: write a speech and then say it
in front of the whole school.

What is more enjoyable than school?
I’ll tell you right now it's the smell of petrol, the sound of
cars screaming around a race course
and the sight of cars slamming and drifting around corners,
That’s right! If you haven’t already clicked Im talking about rally racing.

Hi my name is Mauitepotikirangatira Matene.
Today I am here to tell you a few things I know and love about rally racing.
Did you know, that rally racing is a form of motorsport that takes place on
public or even private roads with modified or specially built road-legal cars?
If you have never seen a rally car, I tell you now that your missing out.
My favourite car is the 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR owned and
rebuilt by Ken Block who just happens to be my favourite rally racer in this
whole wide world. With his Mustangs rebuilt V8 engine and its 1400
horsepower,
ohhhh need I say more?
In my opinion Ken Block is the man! He may not be the best in the world but
to me he is! Ken block started his national rallying career in 2005 with a 2005
Subaru WRX STi and has been turning heads ever since! Ken Block
caught my
attention last year after i seen a video of him drifting, i gotta tell yous ever since
then any chance i get I go and quickly watch his videos.  But dont tell
my teachers.
If you are into fast cars and like i said the smell of petrol, the sound of cars
screaming around a race course and the sight of cars slamming and drifting
around corners then rally racing is what you need!
ANyways thank you for listening and just remember if you have everything
under control it means your not driving fast enough.

My Adventure

I was so angry when my Father drop me at  Papa’s  House. He was always dropping me off .  He said goodbye and was gone!  That morning I found a photo of Dad and papa when they we’re young. “Hands and feet inside the trolley at all times” Papa told me.I was excited to go on a Adventures.

First  We went through the noisy Forest. Monkey’s were screaming.

Then we went down  a steep waterfall. The water Was running quickly.

After that we parked up at the park me and papa and had some lunch.

That's where he told me about the alien Zapping everything.

That was a cool story It was getting late so we made our home.

It was a fun day today.
