The Burma trail from Leilani williams

Dear Mr G
I would like to tell you why we need school camps- to ove come our fears. Before the Burma trail heaps of us were crying because we were scared of the dark. After the Burma trail I was so proud of myself. I learnt how to trust the parents, and the rope.

Orienteering by Quinn N

Hi room 6!
On Tuesday  I went to camp at Omatua and I did Orienteering with my tribe, Totara. It was one of our activities.

Orienteering  is a long walk following a map and using an ipod. 

We walked up a steep hill on Mr Absolum's  farm which has a private road. The road had black tar and lots of stones, and it was a sunny day. I saw cows and sheep. I also saw  lots of cow poo and sheep poo. 
I saw some smelly and yucky mud.
 Finally it was the finish. I was so hot!

Orienteering by Quinn O

On Tuesday last  week we went orienteering at  Camp Omatua on Mr Absolum's  farm.
My tribe Tawa climbed steep hills, we followed the road and a map  so we didn't get lost. we used an iPod to take pictures for the activities.
On the way we saw cow poo, sheep and  pigs and  I  got electrocuted.
Finally we came to the end. I was hot.

liams hunting trip

 

This  is my cousin holding a baby rabbit.
After school camp on Thursday me and my dad and brother went hunting for the weekend. We shot 3 pigs. I was really excited because I shot my first pig. The ginger one on the left weighed in at 112 pounds. We entered it in a pig hunting competition. We got 6th place, so I won lots of hunting gear.  
These are my uncle's puppies. He has trained them to hunt pigs.

Napiers new cranes

When the new cranes arrived at the port
they came in bits.

Some men came from a place called Chile,
to put them together.

                          weight that holds up 
                          the crane so it  doesn't fall over.

The Sand Dunes By Rebekah

In the holidays Mum took us to Levin but we actually stayed in Foxton (which is about 20 minutes from Levin).  We slept in bunks, which is really fun apart from when your big sister keeps on rocking the bed too much.  I liked coming home to the bach every night and organizing my bed.  One night I was really lucky,(since I always wish I could sleep on the top,) my big sister went and stayed at my aunty's so I got to sleep on the top bunk with my little sister sleeping on the bottom.  In the morning while my little sister and I were still in bed we passed notes to each other with my rope.  One morning we got to go to the sand dunes.  My legs got sore from climbing the steep sand dunes.  Unfortunately it wasn't a very nice day but we still really enjoyed it.

Dance Group by Kaden

I walked onto the stage and I saw the faces of the audience staring at me. I nearly fainted because my heart was beating so fast as if it was going to fall out. Rosemary and Sasha spoke and 'Chori Chori' started . It felt like my hands took over and I knew the actions. 

Readers Theatre by Aniela


I walked onto the stage and I saw the faces of the audience staring at me. I saw my mum and it seemed  like she was glaring at me.The narrators  started the play,''Once upon a time there was a kind carpenter named Gepetto".When the play had finished we sang 'Do you love me pinocchio' by Maria Dallas. 
The audience cheered loudly.  After the audience had stopped cheering Rosemary spoke and then we walked off the stage.

Choir by Tyler

  1. When I walked on to the stage I felt shy. I saw lots of people in the audience. I saw the principal in the audience. We were about to sing our first song Frere Jacques. I thought the song was too slow and I was a little bored until someone I don't know who tried to kick me off the stage. I would of turned around and said stop but no one was allowed to turn around. We all had to face the front and sing. I was worried I was going to fall off the stage. Luckily, I did not. When we had finish Frere Jacques the audience clapped.  We were about about to sing our next song 'Waltzing Matilda' from Australia. I felt butterflies in my stomach. We were about to sing 'Canada in my pocket'. I stopped being nervous. We sang Canada in my pocket and the audience cheered. The super six stood up and went to the side. We were singing Somewhere over the Rainbow. I said in my mind 'Yes, we're singing my favourite song. Now it was over and Sasha finished our performance by saying "Well done choir, I could listen to your singing all night." I was so happy because  I had been practising hard and it really paid off.
                                            

Gymnastics. by victoria.

I walked onto the stage. I saw the faces of the audience staring at me. I was nervous and I thought that I going to forget the routine. I was in line when the first person started  to do the cartwheel, cartwheel forward roll, forward roll routine. Next it was my turn. I started to cartwheel and I thought, I hope I don't crash again. Next was the hoop routine. I started caring onto the stage. When I heard '' I like to move it move it'' I wanted to escape from the stage because I was one of the leaders for the hoop routine. Finally it was over and we started doing the forward roll stand up bow. The M.C said "Gymnasts you really did jump through those hoops to get that performance ready". I felt proud of my self because I didn't make a mistake.


Readers Theater by Makayla


I walked on stage bravely getting ready for the play. We got into our places and the Narrators started their lines 'Once upon a time there was a kind carpenter named Gepetto'. Then the play started. I had been waiting for a long time  when finally I said my first line and I felt like their were butterflies in my stomach. A little later on the play finished then we got into our places for the song Pinocchio by Maria Dallas. All of Readers Theatre were moving like puppets in the olden days. I wasn't expecting a song that went with the play Pinocchio.

As I walked on stage I felt a little nervous. When I was in line Sasha and Rosie introduced my group. Rosie ran back into line.I waited for Mr Wright to pick up his guitar and we started to sing Frere Jacques for our first song. In the middle of the song I thought that I was going to forget my part but I didn't. I felt pleased because we sounded great. When we finished  the audience started clapping. Mr Wright started picking his guitar and we sang waltzing Matilda. That went pretty fast and everyone clapped. The next song was Canada in my Pocket. Rebecca walked over to the piano. She started to play the introduction and we started to sing. Last but not least was Somewhere over the Rainbow and Rebecca came back into position. The super six went out and I was feeling tired.
