Camp is Coming!

Finally! Next week we are going to Kawau Island for our year 6 camp! I can’t wait. To get there we will need to take a bus from Pt England to Sandspit and then board the ferry which will take us to Kawau Island.

During this camp we will be doing alot of activities such as... Abseiling, Sailing, Orienteering, Kayaking, Confidence course and more! It will be so much fun. There is also a volleyball net set up.

This camp sounds so much fun!

Camp Recount

Can you guess how many kids we had come to our school camp? There were 165 children from years 5 and 6 all squeezed into 56 tents on the Pt England school field.  I couldn’t wait!

I wrote a post about what I was looking forward to and what I was most worried about. The thing I was most looking forward to was the Top Teams challenge but guess what! My favourite thing was my worst thing. It was kayaking.

I didn’t like doing camp cooking. I wanted to do campfire like the boys but we weren't allowed to. When I wrote my other post I said the thing I was most worried about was the concert. It turned out alright thought.

One thing I found amusing was when I tipped the kayak. While I was kayaking in a single boat I collided into one of my friends. Suddenly TIP!!  Over went the kayak, the water was freezing, but I was so pleased that it was shallow. I quickly tipped it back over and jumped back in.

I had a goal for camp. It was to be a great team leader and have an amazing performance. I think I achieved the goal to have a great performance because we came 2nd.

I had an AMAZING camp. I felt great but sad at the same time when we had to leave because I didn’t want to go. It was fun though! I can’t wait until next year.

First Day Of Camp!

Finally, I had been waiting for ages for this day! I couldn't wait to do all the activities. I was most scared of the kayaking activity. The first thing we did was called Top Teams. Mr Marks had made it up. We were vs his team. After that is was kayaking.

Their was a big suprise that I found out and that was that it turns out my favourite thing was kayaking. What a surprise I thought to myself. I can't wait until tomorrow.
