The outstanding, magnificent KellyTaltons with its freaky tiger sharks lurking in the deep, crystal clear, dark blue water!

The fun filled, fabulous Butterfly Creek with its colourful, beautiful butterflies soaring through the air and disappearing through the trees.

The remarkable, attractive Rainbowsend where there are exciting, speedy rides and delicious, pink candyfloss.

The incredible, humungous Chelsea Sugar factory with its sparkly, fantastic, murky, green water.

The shiny, dazzling Crystal Mountain with all its glittery, glossy, crystals.

Aotearoa is the magnificent Queenstown with the extreme jet boat ride that splashes you with the water .

Aotearoa is the remarkable Rotorua with the fun, warm hot pools.

Aotearoa is the brilliant Tiri Tiri Matangi with its amazing bird perching in the trees.

Aotearoa is the fabulous Wellington with the exciting beehive were the famous government works .

Aotearoa is its scared kiwi that looks for its scrumptious worms that they find in the spooky bush.

Aotearoa is the lovely Mt Cook that touches the light fluffy clouds.

Aotearoa is the exciting Hamilton with the huge farms and lovely hills.

Aotearoa is the damaged houses with its horrible earthquake in Christchurch.

Sarah's Aotearoa poem

Aotearoa is ...
Amazing brilliant Auckland that has red, fiery pohutakawa trees waving gently and catching the sunlight.

The fantastic, exciting puzzle world in Queenstown with all its extreme puzzles and optical illusions.

The tiny but, spectacular Waiheke with its fun banana boating and shy stingrays.

Remarkable Rotorua with steamy, hot pools that looks out to the wonderful lakes and picturesque scenery.

The exciting, incredible Mt Cook with its pointy top
