Year 6 Camp
Last week we had are schools year 6 camp there were lots of fun things in my head I was thinking about during the long bus ride to sand spit were we where waiting for are fairy ride to kawau island but when we got to the island I was kind of disappointed because I thought we were going to do something fun like swimming but instead we did a hike up a hill they call killer hill and when we were like half way up the hill I was the person that asked mr somerville is there a tap I can fill up my bottle and he just laughed and said where do you think we are .
We did the hike up killer hill it was like the worst hike I ever had in my life and my poor legs
were dying and i've never experienced that kind of pain in my life and when we went back down
the hill my legs were bruised and I had lots of cuts on my leg but I lost lots of weight but it was still
worth it.
So first we had bivouac it's when we had to build a hut and see if its waterproof my group
was getting all of the giant branches and logs and they got sticks and
leaves to patch the holes in the roof and the wall. And when it was time chris our adult helper
tipped a bucket of water on top of the hut and we all got wet my group was kind of disappointed
in me because I didn’t do that much I was just setting around and when
I got up everyone was talking about how I was setting on the good stuff. After that we did sailing
in the cold wind and the next day we did confidence course I completed courses I didn't no I could
do.
On the last day of camp we did fun activities before we catch are fairy first we did bush ball which
is base ball but in the bushes it was us kawau B verses mansion B it was hard going to base to base
through all those bushes and mud then after that it was are last swimming I was swimming
with zamera and some classmates and on the pontoon we were screaming because we
thought we saw a stingray and the boys where trying to push us off and when we finished
swimming and dried up we played backyard touch with greg then are last activity was volleyball
it was really fun and there were lots of people from my team that cheered for me every time
I strike the ball.
I would like to say thank you to the teachers from team 4 for getting us safely on the
bus and the fairy. And I also want to say a big thank you to the parent helpers that came with us
on camp for looking after us and making sure we had lots of fun.
At camp the best thing I enjoyed was when we were building rafts because we all helpt and showed
teamwork especially the girls because the boys were just wondering around the beach thorouging
rooks into the water so they didn’t get to choose where they were going to set and then we paddled
all the way to pontoon zamera reached out to the pontoon and the raft flipped and turned
into a million pieces but it still counts because zamere touched the pontoon and I learned
how to tie knots but what i meant to say was i learned to be kind to other people even though
they were not helping its good to show teamwork.
