**Apple VS PC** Apple are better than PC because PC need cords and a computer box and apples are just computers that you can just turn on. PC’s can be better some times because they don’t need to charge but apple laptops need to charge if they get down to 0% other wise they turn off and sometimes you can loose your work. Apples are better because they can hook up to wireless instantly and PC have to sometimes have a cord into the wall for the internet.

**The rimu tree:** The rimu tree is widespread around NewZealand and it has been for years,Rimu trees are mostly around the north and south islands from the lowland to montane forest.In most places the large tree is quite a walk in to the forest to see one but when you get there its worth it. You would think that you would be able to see it at the start of the walk because its so big. Rimu trees can live up to 700 to 1000 years old witch is pretty long time.Think how long humans live for about 100 years old they live up 10 times more then us.

**About rimu:** Rimu is the most popular house in the school because we don’t have normal work books because we have our own laptops.Its really cool because they keep their personal work on line on blogger and wiki spaces. Rimu has a mixer of cool teachers and students. In rimu you have got to work really hard to keep up with every one else. Rimu is a really sporty house they like to go out to sport and play games.In rimu you can’t be silly on the internet other wise you get kicked out theres a lot of ways to get kicked out so you got to be careful what you do on your computer. Rimu has been in this school for 52 years and the school is 52 years old.

**Conclusion:** I think we are going to win the spirt trophy this year because this year we going to win because we have a strong team of teachers and kids.We are really special kids to be chosen for this house.All the other children have to have books and for maths they have to get their maths book out and for writing they have to get their writing books out.
