Best camp ever

My Best Camp Ever!!!

 

We arrived at this great big sign saying 230 hours to the waterfall.

Oh my mistake 2 hours and 30 minutes!

 

We arrived at camp on the first day and set up our bunkrooms. I was a bit excited because we were going on a waterfall hike, which was in the forest. My activity group B were going with groups A and D.

 

We assembled on the grassed area and Mr Norton was giving instructions. All the children were wearing backpacks. I still felt a bit excited about doing the waterfall hike. We drove to where the walk started.

 

We walked in our activity groups. We saw lots of bees buzzing around black trees. Some parts where really hard but some were easy. I heard lots of birds twittering.

 

When we got to the waterfall we all smiled excitedly. I felt the icy cold water, It was freezing. I heard the water crashing on the rocks as it fell to the ground.

 

It was really exciting to see the water fall 40meters to the ground. I took off my shoes and put my feet in the water.

 

I was exhausted and tired but is was worth it.

Teams Triathlon By Alex

It was the day minutes until the triathlon Liam hasn’t arrived yet and he was doing the running. Then I remembered that he had tutoring. I discussed it with Tom the cyclist. We came to a agreement. It was that I had to do the running instead.

Mr Norton started to talk he called out numbers then he called out ours. I went to line up for the swim. I was feeling very nerves. The juniors went and then it was time for me. The horn went. I dived into the pool I started to do freestyle. I finished the swim I got out of the pool ran to Tom. I tagged him. He went off speeding.

I went back into the changing room. I got changed as fast as I could. I ran to the biking change over. I had spectacular luck. I got there just in time for him to tag me. I ran off. I could hear the screams from the finished line until the end of the village.

I ran through the native area and onto the road. When I got to the field I saw Jake. I caught him up. I ran the field with him. I was up to the sprint. Jake sprinted off. We raced each other. Unfortunately he bet me by two seconds. That’s how close it was. Jake didn’t boast about it luckily.

Soap carving

Today our class was doing soap carving.

Miles Kaukau was teaching us.

we each got some soap and Mr Kaukau instructed us step by step.

I liked when we carved out the koru

It was great!!!

tremendous tree climbing

 

I was terrified as I was about to climb a humongous skyscraper.

Maybe this would be the last day I stand!

It was the second day at activity Hanmer on the 3^rd of March and Group A was tree climbing.

My friend Sam and I started on the skyscraper A.K.A the biggest tree. Sam was climbing first so I could release my nerves.

When Sam came down we unclipped him and clipped me up.

I started to climb the ladder. I was feeling nervous as I was about to climb a huge height.

When I was off the ladder I gripped the first peg and started to climb. I gripped peg by peg, branch by branch.

When I was at the top I looked down and everyone looked as small as ants yelling at me to go on and then I smelt the afternoon tea  waiting for me. It smelt as good as chocolate pudding.

After that I climbed down and went over to the next exciting tree climbing challenge. Before I climbed I had to be a back up belay. A back up belay is a person who takes all the lose rope and puts it in a basket.

After that it was my turn to climb. Like the first time I made it to the top and back down again.

Then I was on to my last tree same again up and down. Next my mum bought us some afternoon tea which we gobbled quickly.

Now we where doing the main event, it was called Lego Land. It was a game where you had to stack blocks. We did boys vs girls The girls won.

So I guess this won’t be the last day I stand or will it!
