Kayaking

I went kayaking at camp. It was fun.

I went on a kayak and tried to paddle. I was given some instructions. I paddled left then right. I got use of paddling and was given a partner to paddle with. I paddled left and the wind blew the kayak and made me fall to the water. It was pretty deep but lucky I had a lifejacket.

I enjoyed the day with a swim and ended back at camp.  I love kayaking.  

Sleeping In A Tent

I had 2 sleeping mates. They were Shalom and Vaifoa. I woke up all night because I couldn’t sleep. The light from the serving tent was so bright. Shalom slept when I woke. I didn’t enjoy sleeping in the tent with the light on.

Roller Blading

I went on a roller blade I really enjoyed it. I sometime got bruised and bashed. I saw Frankie skating fast in the breeze. I love to get bruised and bash. After my turn I gave the roller blade to the girls. I had lots of fun.

Samoa

My culture is Samoa. Samoa is very important to me.

As a Samoan we respect other people and treat them like a brothers and sisters.We should keep in our hearts that we are all brothers and sisters. Most Samoan people go church to pray for forgiveness and a better future.

My culture love dancing and singing. We do not do hip hop or the hula. We have our own kind of songs and dance. We have a dance called the sasa.

I’m proud to be a Samoan. I love myself.

Get Lost

On Thursday afternoon my group went to play Get Lost. Mr Marks made up Get Lost.

First my group went to Mr Somerville. We had to sing the National Anthem of Aotearoa. We sang and moved as fast as we could. We ran to the biggest tent. We had to build Humpty Dumpty ( humpty dumpty was a box) again. After taping Humpty Dumpty together again we moved all around the field and back to school. Finally we had to come together in the meeting room.

I enjoyed running across the field and back. It was fun.

Camp Cooking


Whaea Raywen was cooking damper with the the Dream Team boys. We were making Damper and marshmallows with cookies.

Before we started cooking we had to talk about fire safety. After that we had to get the bamboo stick to put the damper on top of the bamboo stick. We had to put it in the fire and wait patiently until it was ready. We were rotating the damper so that the  damper would cook on every side. When mine was ready I gave it to Whaea Raywen. It was delicious .

I can’t  wait for next years camp.

1st Day Of Camp

It is the first day of camp and its is fun today.  I love today.

My favourite time of the day was kayaking. I couldn't paddle the kayak and it was scared about doing it.  I started to get use of it and paddled in a long oval.

Shalom and I was in doubles. We accidentally turned to the left together hardly while we were paddling. I went of the boat and spam to surface. After that Rayline fell down the kayak and thought she was going to die. I grabbed her and took her to surface.

I enjoyed my day. I wonder what we are doing tomorrow.

School Camp

We have camp on Wednesday.I am looking forward to kayaking because I never go kayaking. I am also looking forward to swimming at Swimorama Pools because that is a swimming pool I never been to. I just can’t wait.

I am not looking forward to performing in-front of  all the kids and teachers. Now that freaks me most because I have the nerves. What also freaks me out is  jump jam because  I am totally not fit enough to do that but its best to give it a try but I will some day be good at it.

Blindfold Obstacle Course

Mr Marks set up a surprise for us for writing. There was good news and bad news. The good news was that it was a obstacle  course in the hall and the bad news was that we had to do the obstacles course blindfolded.


We had to get a partner. I got T.J as my partner. I was first to be blindfolded and first out of the boys. T.J guided me to finish the obstacle course. The game needed a guider and a person blindfolded. First of all I walked across the platforms then walked across the ropes, over the two cylinder ball, zigzag across the cones , under the tarpaulin, walked through the cushions and jumped down on top of the stage to the soft big cushion. I slipped on the cushions and accidentally fell down the soft big cushions. I watched Tame and laughed how he slipped in the gap of the soft big cushions. I helped T.J cross the obstacle course . I helped him well by holding him and go through the obstacle course.  I found it very easy and fun.

I enjoyed the blindfold obstacle course. I also enjoyed slipping off. I love playing blindfold games.
