CAMP LETTER

20 November 2018      

Dear  PAPA

Thanks for coming on camp with us. I really enjoyed you coming on camp. Last year it was mum and
this year it was you. I was happy you could come on camp and you helped me on camp.

My favourite part was the tramp because it was flatter than the Bealey Spur so I was happy.
I enjoyed the activities like tug of war, the spider’s web game, Chuck the Dino and many more.
The thing I found challenging was  the tramp and the river crossing.

I hope you enjoyed the tramp because I was there with you.
It was really nice of you to drive up for the day. Thank you for playing soccer with the other kids.
I was too tired to play soccer.  

Ngā mihi

Yours sincerely

Your loving son

Hypothermia

Me and 3 of my friends made a video and slideshow about Hypothermia it was very fun making these. My class made this all around camp.


  

Recount On Marae Trip

Here is my recount about our trip to the Marae at Arahura.

This is a piece of writing that retells and evaluates (what you think) events or experiences.

Title A brief name for the experience or event.	The Arahura Marae
Orientation Tells when and where the event began and who was there.	Last week I went to the Arahura Marae and stayed the night at the Marae. I arrived at the Marae on Thursday morning and left on Friday morning. The senior school from Karoro school all went.I travelled with Mum and Billy and Bob.
Sequence of events Tells the events in the order they happened. You need to have a minimum of 3-4 events. Remember one topic per paragraph.  Your paragraph should have an introductory sentence use a time sequence word/phrase and then detail.	First, we had the powhiri process. It was pretty cool. Then we had morning tea I  liked morning tea, it was delicious because it had fruit and sandwiches.  After morning tea we shared  our mihi. I  felt very nervous but i did it.   After everyone did their mihi we had lunch outside.I sat with Daniel and  we saw a basket full of pounamu. There were some sharp pieces of pounamu and there was a carving tool. After lunch we went down to the river and looked for pounamu, I didn’t find any but a few kids did. Then we went to the beach to pick up rubbish. After we picked up rubbish we built sculptures of Poutini and my group came second equal. My version of Poutini looked very weird. Daniel made a grave for Waitaiki and it had bones in it.We used wood and stone to build Poutine and we used some tree bits that we found and Brighid’s rubber glove.We walked back to the Marae. We all set up our beds, they were mattresses on the floor. Once we did all that stuff we had dinner. Dinner was delicious. After dinner we did silent reading and quiet activities. We had smores and sung Waiata.
Personal Comment/Ending Tells how the experience/event ended and some thoughts you may have about it.	I had a horrible sleep but apart from that it was a good stay. The marae was lovely and I would like to go again.
