Three of them were scored by Julian Savea. The other tries were from  Tawera Kerr Barlow who got two, with one each to Brodie Ritalic, Nehe Milner Skudder, Jerome Kaino and Kieran Read.
The All Blacks were dominant in every area of the park and showed they will be a force later in the tournament.
New Zealand will now play South Africa in the semi finals next week in London.

3D Printing at Botany College

 Today the 3D Printing Team visited Botany College to investigate 3D printing. We talked to Mr Achary who is the head of the Technology Department. Guess who he might be related to at our school??
Mr Achary and some clever students called Bradley, Kendall and Jackie talked to us about problems and solutions with 3D printing - it was really interesting and we learned a lot. The technology Department is awesome and we'd love to go there when we're older! We printed some spinning tops and then tested them to see if they worked. The students know how to print whole houses, dinosaur skulls, cogs and stuff like that.
Hopefully, they might be able to come and help us with our 3D printing and give us some ideas and solutions.
The food technology students made us cupcakes, chocolate peppermint slice and hot chocolate for afternoon tea!!!!! We just wanted to stay there. They have about 1800 students which is massive.

Nestle have reportedly made changes including adding vitamin D, B3, B6, B12 and taking out vitamins A, B1 and magnesium. Milo lovers are taking to social media to express their strong negative feelings but Nestle have made it clear they are not going back to their last recipe.

New Zealand Flag Consideration Debate

Lately, as you may or may not know there has been an on going nation- wide discussion in New Zealand about the New Zealand Flag Consideration Project. This project started when some people decided that they wanted to consider changing our current flag. You're probably wondering how this will work , well, over the rest of the year and next year, there will be 2 referendums, the first one, which will be held in 2015 will be when NZ citizens vote for their favourite new flag design out of 4 designs that have been selected by a special flag consideration panel. The second one, (2016) will decide if NZ votes to keep the design they have pre-selected or keep our current flag. There is, however, controversy over this project as it is costing tax-payers 26 million dollars and quite a few people believe we could be doing something that is more of priority with the money like improving our health system or looking at child poverty. Take a look at the top 40 flags and see which one you like best.
