DAY ONE OF CAMP 2012

DAY1 OF CAMP 2012

On the first day of camp 2012 I was so excited to all the fun stuff. But my friends are not coming. Box fit was our activity. Boxing was pretty cool as I throw punches BAM! Kobe’s hand went all the way back as if I have already won the world Heavy Weight Championship and the crowd was saying my name but I was imagining.

Second Act was Making a tent. They made it look so easy but it was actually hard. It only took nearly one hour to build that tent and seven people helped me trying to get it up. and everybody just keep building and building.

Last but not least it was The Amazing race. First we had to make a slingshot to try and hit the buckets. We keep missing, one was going left and the other one didn’t even make it to the first bucket.

The last act of The Amazing race is to take a photo of respect but with our body’s, but doing one letter each time. finished all the letters now we have to download them to the Imac.

Who is ready for day two on our next trip at camp.

My Mums Birthday

On the third of February It was my mums birthday. Today was a pretty boring day because we did nothing until later on It was time to get ready to go to the movies. It was called Siones 2

Boring Writing On Books

This year we had net-books for our first time. Last year I had to write in books, BORING.

But I started to be happy when we got our first net-book. I was so excited, I was about EXPLODE. Well not explode an in blow up. Without a net-book I will be going to write on books again.

We can learn heaps of stuff like reading,writing and other things. Now our teacher can check our work from on. Everybody likes having net-books even bringing them home to work on there reading or writing and other activity’s.

Having a Net-book is awesome!

This is the movie that the world is going to end. Just Kidding. ENJOY

I Couldn't Go Because I Had A Sick Mum

Oh No! I could not go because my mum was sick so I did nothing at home. I even went on the CPU and I was still bored. I played my X-BOX I was still bored of playing many games. how can I be not bored. ( It didn't make sense ) So that was my boring thing staying at home.

Movie Time

On Saturday Me and my dad went to the movies to watch something. But I can not remember the title. The movie took 2 Hours to watch it and 10 minutes to end. That took a really long time. Then we went to BK for lunch. It was delicious. That was the greatest day. Maybe?

Going Up And Down

Going Up And Down

On our way to Ab-sailing it looked pretty high like I’m going to fall off. But the lucky thing is we get 2 harnesses. One is a chest and the other is a body harness. It my turn to clime up and I was second to go up.

I was scared to go up, it was pretty hard climbing. I got tired when I was up there now for the scary part. I have to go down on a smooth platform. I was moving so slow walking up to the edge of the platform. I was going fast all the way down to the ground, suddenly I hold on the rope starting to go slowly.

Bombing In The Water

Splashing Off The Pontoon

As I started to walk into the water, it was freezing cold. On the way I was chattering and shivering, it was like walking to the south pole. Finally I got to the pontoon and I was starting to get warmer.

I climbed up the pontoon and got my first chance to jump off. Suddenly I accidentally fell off backwards. I was shocked that my first jump was a fall. It was like someone pushed me off the pontoon.

Camp Bentzon

There are 2 weeks until I’m going to camp. I’m felling excited.

We are to get on a fairy but first we go on a bus. It is going to be cool when where on the fairy


I am looking forward to going camp because it is going to be a hot day, to go swimming. Even sailing is going to be heaps of fun.

My challenge for Kawau Island is the burma trail. It is going to be really dark when we are walking.

I am getting ready to get active when I get there.

Ice Cream Comets

On Monday we had a afternoon treat it was a ice cream comet.

We crushed the biscuits and hundreds of thousands with the thousands block. it was going to be tasty in the end. the biscuits looked like dust when it was crushed. It felt so cold when I got my ice cream, it was dripping through my fingers when I was rushing down the ramp.

As I got to Mr Sommerville he tipped hundreds of thousands on my ice cream. Then I was ready to eat it, it tasted nice. Suddenly some people got a brain freeze. Then a huge mess on the ground outside room 17's courtyard it looked dirty. So we had seconds We had to eat with our hands.

Last We were chatting outside. Some people wash there hands because it was sticky and dirty, it looked like mud to me. I dont know if where going to clean the mess below our picnic table.

Next Time When I have Ice Cream I think I'm going to have warm gloves.

AFL Coaching

Isn't AFL an Australia game? I was intrigued when I heard there were Aussie Rules Coaches,coming in to teach us how to play. We are kiwi kids!

The most difficult thing to do is Drop Punt. It was hard to aim at your target, as we had a contest. My partner was showing off as he was felling confident saying” Mr S catch this” as he missed kicking it to the side.

The second thing that our coach was going to demonstrate, is how to hand pass. It looked easy when she demonstrated it but it was not easy for us. As I tried to hand pass it veered off in an different direction and I said “Watch Out! as loud as I could.

Now it was time to handmark. You have to make your hands into a W. I dropped The ball as we had a game it was not to easy as I said “ No!

I’m looking forward to putting all these skills into practice, when we get to a real game of AFL next week.

Polar Bears

In the Arctic, Polar Bears are the largest Bears in the world. It lives on ice and along the shore.

Polar Bears have are very thick coat to keep warm. They have bumps on their paws to grip on ice. it has sharp teeth to help chew hard bits off.

A cub does not live alone, it lives with its mother. The cub lives with it for to in a half years. The mother protects the little cub, and she teaches it how to hunt for food.

Polar Bears wait to hunt seals because its their main food. Seals have their own breathing hole to breath. The polar Bear waits until the seal comes up to breath. When it comes up it flung its huge paws with sharp claws to flip it on the ice.

In the wild bears live for 20 years and a bear that live in the zoo it manage to live up to 41 years.

RWC

This Sunday on the 18th France is going against Canada at McLean Park in Napier. I reckon that France is going to win and the score is going to be is 28 to France and 12 to Canada.

RWC Ceremony Opening

On Friday it was the big game for the rugby world cup opening as Tonga goes against the All Blacks. There was a big cheer from the fans from both teams and they came onto the field.

The crowd was cheering as loud as they could, like wild animals. They wanted the game to start as the performance was still going. As it started I thought we were going to win as Tonga would not get any points. But they got one and the crowd went crazy.

There was the last minute of the second half we won but we did not expect there work although the city struggled with the huge crowd,everyone agreed that the opening ceremony was a huge success.

Badminton Lessons

Badminton is a very tricky sport to play as it looks like your going to lose the comin wealth game. So we had Badminton lesson. Our guide was could Donna.She is Ranked 16 in the world.

But the Badminton game looks often strange because there was heaps of shuttles in a big box. I felt nervous at the beginning. I was getting the butterfly’s in my stomach but there’s nothing wrong with playing Badminton.

So I started to get use to Badminton but not with serving. It was really hard because it takes time before you get it.I tried and I tried to get a point and it was a point to me so I cheered myself for getting one but I lost so In less it was a game and I Tried my very best to get one point for myself.
