Kids Connect is a camp specifically for children with physical and mild (轻微的) intellectual disabilities aged 9-16(Individual consideration given to those over the age of 16). It is held in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland. Sometimes we require meeting a child before camp to make sure we are able to meet their needs during the camp.
Our camps are conducted by experienced staff. We take every effort to give your children a safe and enjoyable weekend. Our aim is that every child comes away with lasting memories of what they have experienced, explored and enjoyed at our camp.
We focus on building strong, healthy relationships with other children (with and without physical disabilities) and with group leaders.
We have a weekend packed full of activities, action and fun.
·Team games and competitions, songs
·Orienteering (定向越野) on a wheelchair accessible track
·Quad bikes (四轮摩托车)
·Craft
·Discussions, great food and loads of fun!
The camp fee is about $135(subject to change). We also accept payment by way of Ministry of Health carer support forms.
Day visits and fees can be organised on an individual basis if a full weekend stay is unsuitable.

【推荐3】The London Eye, formerly known as the Millennium Wheel, is on the South Bank of the River Thames. At an overall height of 135 meters, the London Eye was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel from 1999, when it was built, until 2006, when it was surpassed (超过) by the Star of Nanchang, in Nanchang, China. It is one of London’s most popular tourist attractions.
What is now called the London Eye originated as a work sent by David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects in 1993 to a competition. The competition is supported by The Sunday Times and Great Britain’s Architecture Foundation, for a new landmark in memory of the millennium (千禧年) in London. Although no winner was declared, Marks and Barfield carried out the development of the project themselves and found the site where the wheel now stands. Most of the money was provided by British Airways.
Construction began in 1998, and the wheel was put together over the river before being pulled up.The London Eye was ceremonially “opened” by Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 31, 1999, but didn’t admit its first paying passenger until March 9,2000. Originally scheduled to be taken apart after five years, it was kept in place because of continued popularity. In 2006 an LED lighting system was installed in order to make the wheel more noticeable after dark.
The wheel rests on two supports, which are fixed firmly to a foundation on the riverbank and lean (倾斜) out over the river at an angle of 65°. The power to turn the wheel is sent through rubber tires that are placed on the base of the structure. Placed on the wheel are 32 eggshaped “capsules”, as the cabins that carry the passengers are called. Their number agrees with the 32 boroughs (自治市) that (together with the City of London) make up Greater London. Each capsule can hold as many as 25 passengers. The wheel moves so slowly — two circles per hour — that it needn’t stop for passengers to get on or off, except for those with disabilities.
1. When was the London Eye the tallest Ferris wheel in the world?| A．In 1993. | B．In 1998. |
| C．In 2004. | D．In 2016. |
| A．To compete for a prize. |

| D．To realize their dream of riding on a Ferris wheel. |
| A．It leant out more than 65°. |
| B．It was officially open to the public. |
| C．It was decorated with brighter lighting. |
| D．It faced the threat of being taken apart. |
| A．Greater London consists of 32 cities. |
| B．The London Eye spends an hour spinning around once. |
