CAMP

On Monday the 5th of September we went to camp Ngamuwahine. When we got up there we unpacked and went to listen to Mr Hart he told us about the camp and what the rules were. When he was finished we went on a tramp it took 4 hours to do. When we all finished the tramp we had free time for about half a hour. Then we got called in. Room 30 had to get ready to cook there own meals my group and I cooked chicken on rice with spiders for dessert. My group was really excited to cook our own meals. We got marked for the taste, organisation, presentation, clean up and many more. My group came second we lost by one point.

On Tuesday when we all got up we had breakfast and then it was teachers choice day we did a lot of things like Fire Lighting was really interesting because my group learnt how to start a fire how to keep a fire going. The loop track was really fun we learnt all about native leaves and trees. Adventure Based Learning was fun because we played all sorts of games which I think was really cool and so did my group. Art was cool because we all had good fun but all of our hands got sore. When we finished that we had free time then had dinner. The Burma trail was next I was really excited and scared. I went with my Britney, Chontelle, Shelby and me  we all got really scared but we loved it! After that we went to bed. 

On Wednesday when we all got up we were very excited because it was the activity days there were 8 activities altogether. (Archery, Mountain Biking, Kayaking, Raft Making, Orienteering, Abseiling, Rock Climbing, Low Ropes). We had to get into our activity groups in my group there was Kimberly, Tyce, Dave, Olivia, Zac, Jarrod and me. our first activity was Orienteering I got the fastest time it was 19 minuets and got 27 out of 30. then we went to Kayaking in the time trail my group was really good we all got a good time. Our fastest time was 1min and 17sec. Then Raft Making my group really like this one because we worked really well as a team. Lastly we did Low Ropes I didn't like this activity because I thought it was boring but it was funny when people were falling off!


On Thursday it was another activity day when we had finished our breakfast we got into our activity groups today we did first the Climbing Wall I got up to the top it was really fun then we did abseiling I went first that was really scary! Then My group and group 6 went on the flying fox it was awesome! It was so high I thought that I was going to fall off the platform. Then we went onto Archery I really sucked because on the first 3 rounds I only got the ground but I thought it was really fun! Lastly we were at Mountain Biking that was cool as but not when I nearly fell off. when we were finished those activities we went back and had free time.


On Friday it was a really cool but sad day because it was the last day. After we had breakfast we had to do a Scavenger hunt we had to find a Rimu leaf, Possum fur, a dead insect, a skeleton of a Mahoe leaf, a piece of rubbish, a weird shaped rock and lastly we had to build a team pyramid I n this activity we came last we didn't really like it. When we done that we did Clash Of The Camp the things you had to do were egg and spoon race, Kayak, a long run I did that and I came third, Climbing wall, lunch,bucket shots and finally team bonding we came first we really liked this activity because we worked really well together and had a heap of FUN!!!
