Camp writing

We had Year 5 & 6 Camp, it was on Wednesday and the sun was shining and the birds were chirping as I was walking to school . Whoever went to camp had to come in Mufti and have there backpack with their lunch in it. When we got to school some of the tents were already up.

Then we went to the hall for a meeting and to get into our groups. Furthermore we went to go play activities. and the Commitments were the first to go cooking. The girls cooked cookies and the boys cooked

cornFriters.

The 2nd Activity the commitments played was killerzone. It was so funny and also exciting because we were throwing water balloons. We had to pretend that the ground was full of sharks, also eels. Then we had to get 5 people on a ski and ski them across the eles. But there was 2 skis for 2 teams. The team we versed was Matapono e and the commitments won. 100 points. We got 100 points for teamwork and taking turns also using cooperation and communication.

Then for afternoon tea we had biscuits milk and fruit. Then we had a rest and went to our next activity. The activity the Commitments did was kayaking at Pt england beach. You could go by yourself or with a partner. I went  with a partner and my partner's name was Liana. We had to go all the way out to the green pole. After everyone had a turn in our group we went for a 5min swim. We could go  up to our chest. Then we had to take the kayaks onto the grass and put it on the truck.

After that we went to the pools because we got to have a 10min swim. Then we had to get out and go for a shower and walk back to school. Moreover we then had dinner and for dinner we had nachos with Chips,Mince,Sour Cream, and cheese. The next thing we did was have  dessert. For dessert we had Ice-cream. On the last day of camp we went to mangire pools.  We were going down the water slide.  We went to the deep pool and we were bombing. I had the best camp Ever because we did activities and went to the pools.

My 5th Birthday

On my 5th birthday we had some challenges and prizes if you won. My whole family came and we had it at our house.

First we played egg race and  Me and my sisters and my cousins played. We had to get a spoon and put a egg on it and I was the only one who didn’t lose.

The next game we played was relay and my team came second and we had treats for our trophy. For the egg race the trophy was a big chocolate bar.

After playing all those games we ate. Then we ate some chocolate mud cake with ice-cream and fruitsalad. I felt so happy and it was the best day ever.

I am going to explain to you how you can you use your WITS can help you by not getting in trouble and not going on detention not hitting that other person back and other stuff. Also at Pt england school we use our WITS if you get in trouble.

W is for walk away and that means if someone is in trouble you could tell them to walk away. Also nobody will get hurt. You should walk away during a fight.

I is for Ignore it. For Example : If someone swears to you you could just ignore them. You can also not listen to them if there saying mean words.

T is for talk about it means if someone is arguing with you can just talk with them. If your friend is being mean to you you can just talk about it and say is were still friends.
