Kia ora bloggers,

This summer holiday my family went to our farm it is in Kerikeri  I love going there because there a beach and a kiwi fruit filed to explore. But this time was different my family on the other side of that does not come all of the time came and we all had fun ridding the bikes, going to the beach and exploring the farm. We all had so much fun but sadly they had to leave .  The next day my family went to sand boarding but the boat was not working the day before so it was not working the day we were there . After hearing the sad news we cheered up and went to Rainbow fall and explored there. Over all the trip was fun and I can’t wait to go next year. Enjoy the rest of your year and thanks for reading!

day 1
Not that long ago I when to camp with my school but it was only the year’6 and year 5’s. It was still fun thought in this post I am going to be telling you about my adventures through camp. it starts now on the fist day we left feeling strong and confident we said goodbye to our parents and set on the journey to waipu cove. I was such bad weather!  but we pushed thought the weather and keeped going before we new it we were at waipu cove it was so windy I all most got blown away! that haw windy it was!

day 2 waitangj treaty grounds

At the treaty grounds we went and saw a huge waka and karu tree stump! but that’s not all we learnt about how New Zealand got there flag that was pretty boring but then the fire alarm rung then. We went to the evacuation area  and a fire truck came.

day 3#my favourite day

on day 3 we went sand boarding and we raced down the hill and got hurt a lot on the stomach and my nees but after It was fine I was racing down the sand dunes and there was a steep drop and I face planted in the sand and it was hilarious  I was kind of relieved after the sand dunes because of the amount that it hurt but it was still my favourite day!

Talofa lava, I’m going to tell you about the year 5 and 6 camp trip!..

On day one we went on a long bus ride  for a long trip, further up north and on the way up there we all stopped at the beach and had a snack to eat and wait it rained and rained.

On day 3  we went down to the beach on the bus for a swim. In the nice and cold water and it was so so so cold! and before we went to the beach we went to a Marae. and walked when they started to sing a waiata to greet us to their home and then we sat down and whacked them perform a Maori dance with poi green stow sticks and more.

                                                                        hola its me

Hola!! It’s me again and today we are going to talk about our school camp.It was amazing and the first place that we went to was Waipu beach.  It was a bit boring because everyone was sleeping on the bus .

The rooms were amazing, my group was the one that had the most  people we had 7 and everyone  else had 6.     On the last day I was SUPER SUPER tired

Kia ora,

The people who didn’t go to camp made Eco houses in Minecraft or they drew them in their art books and than Manukau  year 4rs drew them so our parents could see them when we were done and take them home. If you want to know how long it took, it took a week and a half. It took a week to finish in Minecraft and half a week to do the drawing. If you’re wondering what an Eco house is well its a house that protects the earth like not made of things that the world other animals need and also having a farm so you don’t kill the animals for meat.  One feature in my Eco house is I have a unlimited water fountain in the entrance.

Kia Ora,  I’m going to tell you about the year 5 and 6 camp! My favorite day at camp would probably have to be day 3, because we got to learn more about Kupe and his voyage to New Zealand!

On day three we went to Manea! When we got there we spilt into 2 groups.  My group explored Manea first! We walked in and  explored the outsides of Manea with our guide, we soon got to the Marae and walked in with a waiata to call us in and welcome us to there home! Then we went into their cinema to watch the Story of Kupe!

After Manea we went on a ferry to the Sanddunes! We hopped off the boat grabbed a board and headed up the sanddunes. Not before adding another coat of sunsreen of course!

After we finished those activities we headed back to camp and had a campfire! We got to eat marshmallows, there were even some marshmallows that looked like mincraft blocks, because they were square! It was so much fun. We were all so tired at the end of the day.

It was so much fun at camp, I wish I could go back there. That comes to an end of my story about camp, thank you for reading my story. Have a great rest of your day, Ka Kite Ano

Hi, everyone on the 31st of October I got to go to camp it was so fun on the camp we went to the bay of the island up north. It was 5 days but I will tell you about one of the funniest of the day. So first up we went to the Opononi where the sand dunes are and there were 2 groups that the teacher split us up in and we had a lot of fun.

OK I will get to the points so first we went to this Manea experiences the footstep of Kupe . It was really fun because at the end we got to do a 4D experience were we got to smell ,taste and see every thing after the really fun experiences. there was someone who came and showed the story adout kupe.

Then we got to go sand boarding it was so fun. So a boat came to us to go to an island where we went sand boarding the water was really cold and wet! and out of all it was a really fun time.

Thank you for reading this blog see you later bloggers.

Hello my name is Chantz and on the 30th of October the year 5’s and 6’s went on camp. My favourite day of camp was on the 3rd day which is on Wednesday and we did three things HOURS of driving and we did the Manea experience which was super fun. It was a tour of lots of sculptures and it was super cool listening to the backstories of the sculptors. We got to watch a 4d movie as well which was a bit scary but mostly it was really cool. Now its time to get to my favourite part going to the sand dunes, we had to go on a little boat, it only took 2-3 minutes to get to the sand dunes and we grabbed a boogie board each and we walked to the top of the dunes and hoped on our boogie boards.  we slid right down the dunes it was super fun and super fast. Then sadly we had to walk go back on the boat and walk to get changed and go back on the busses and vans.

Have you ever gone to camp?

Hello guys Today I  am going to tell you about sand boarding

I was  in the car with my mum then it was time to say good bye to her and said see you on day 5.

  Then my mum went home then I was under the canopy.  Then it was a long drive up north  and then we went to our cabin, room 4. So then we put our sleeping bags on the bed. Then  we had some fun.

We  had to eat breakfast then we went  back to our room and we brushed our teeth then we went to sand boarding.  We went boogie sand boarding to sand dunes.  I beat everyone in sand boarding . Let me tell you it was a good race .

Hello bloggers

Not too long ago, we went to camp with the year 6’s and year’5. We went to a lot of places in the north of New Zealand like Waipu cove and more. It took 2 hours to get there and we had a break there,  I will be telling you about my camp for 5 days there I’m going to start with my favorite day.

It was day four because we went kayaking and it was my first time kayaking it was really fun to do, but it was hard because the first time I didn’t know how to do it. Then I learned how to do it. Then I went really fast doing it, it was my favorite day there, but before that we had to walk up a mountain like two times. That it for that day.

Day 1, it was fun and cool to go somewhere else from Auckland. Then we stop like a couple times to get fresh air, But when we got to our cabins it was nice to lay down on the bed then we export the cabins, but thank god i got the queen size the it was nice to play game with my friends,   eat and sleep,

Day three, Now it was really cool because now we took a boat to go sand boarding the water was nice and clear and cold to   in. The sand was really nice and warm and it was high up, it was scary the first time. When I went down i almost fell off, then i got the hang of it now it was  pretty fun.

Hi there

One week we decided to make a eco house. First we started planning it out then we got to start and it was going so good. So we finished so quickly and got on to the next bit . On my house I used bamboo and there is a lots of plants and food growing. It is so cool  and you get to color all your favorite Colors but pink because that’s not an eco color. I have potatoes and carrots growing they’re pretty big. they should be done in a couple of days. we have such a good time at school doing our eco houses here’s a photo of mine.

bye…

Hello everyone,

Not too long ago we went on a camp as year 6’s and 5’s. We did a lot so  I won’t  tell you everything, but let’s go back. So day four was one of the best days  because that day we woke up early so we can hop onto a boat and drove for about half an hour. Once we got there we went and did a walk it was very steep by the time we got to the first point we were all exhausted they made us sit down then about 2 minutes later they made us start again even though we didn’t want to get back up  then we did so more walking.  Then about 20 minutes later we got to the other side of the mountain then we sat down for about 5 minutes then we got into our groups then walk around the mountain it only took us about 10 minutes. Once we got there we sat down then ate a little then we got into our togs in the bath rooms then my group in the water after  a little it was my group’s turn to go the kayaks. I got my life jacket on then me and Toni were about to get into a kayak together then one of the teachers asked who knew how to ride a kayak I put my hand up because i have kayaked lots with my mum. So they got me to go in a one person kayak then I started to paddle. Then Miss Kneller told me that there was a stingray so I had a look. Then… I saw it was under the bridge. After a little we had to get out and let the last group there turn. Then we got change and sat down and finished our lunch. About half an hour later we got on the boat and headed back to the bus. once we were off the boat and on the bus we headed back to the cabins.

Our camp was at the Bay of Islands.

Hello everyone

On week 5 we first had to read about a person who made an Eco-house. Then we got to write about how we’re going to make a Eco house on Minecraft.

Then after that I had to draw what I was going to make and I was so excited to be able to do Minecraft after.

Then the fun bit happened when we got to go on Minecraft and build an Eco house.

I didn’t get to make all the stuff I write down.

I made what I wrote down what was on my paper. Later on I lost my Eco house and it took a long time to find it again.

I really want to do it again.

Next time I’m going to try to do more work on Minecraft.

I made a pond in the hole and there are some wolfs.

On the roof there are trees and plants.

In the house there are beds,bees.

The bees are in the little spot next to  the house.

By the way, my friend ↑Quentin and at Sand Dunes, Micah’s dad Fraser took this photo.

Kia Ora bloggers,

On 31 October the seniors went to camp at the Bay of Islands. People got to choose if they wanted to go that’s why some people didn’t come. Everyone got on the bus and some people were in the van. It took 3 hours and 39 minutes to get to Russell where our camp was Orongo Bay Holiday Park. My favorite thing was Sand Boarding at Opononi it was so fun! Mostly everyone loved it It was so fun going down the sand and splashing into the water the water was cold and salty. Two times I stopped close to the water I think it was because I was going slow. Two times I did a turn into the water while I was going down.

Second best thing was kayaking, it was my first time kayaking, and it was so fun even tho there was a stingray in the water. It was my first time that’s why I was with Micah because he knew how to kayak and he showed me how to do it. Micah’s dad Fraser was going so fast on the kayak, like a lightning bolt .

We even visited the Hundertwasser museum. Hundertwasser HATES STRAIGHT LINES he liked curved lines because it felt like he is on a forest ground he liked rooftop gardens he was a natural guy he died at the age of 71. When he died he died under his tall       tree naked and covered with leaves.

Thank you for reading this blog have a nice day, bye!

On the 30th of october Waikowhai Primary School’s Year 5 and 6’s went on camp to the Bay of Islands.

It was an early start getting on the bus at 7:50 and our first stop was Waipu Cove. We had a stop there and were going to go swimming but it was very rainy it was absolutely pouring. So we went for a walk. At this time I was wearing a moonboot. So it was very hard. Then we got  into the warm bus and everyone was relived to be out of the rain. Our next stop was Kerikeri we visited the stone store, the rainbow falls, Te Ahurea and then got back in the bus. Wethen drove the last part of the trip. To the Camp. When we got there we unloaded our bags and went to our cabins. Each cabin had two bunks, a queen bed that was shared a mini fridge ad some even had a mini kitchen!!! We had fisha nd chips for dinner then went to bed! Having a moonboot on and still being able to come to camp was a miracle.

The 2nd day was the treaty grounds but I really want to tell you about the 3rd day. On the 3rd day we went directly across the north island to find the incredible sand dunes. They are the biggist in New Zealand. We went flying down andwere going up and down constantly. I loved it the water was cold but I didn’t mind. I can’t describe how awesome it was. There were two groups one was at the sand dunes while the other group was at Manea Footprints of Kupe. The 4d experience was the best there the air blew at you and when he faught the octopus the whip under you whipped your legs it was awesome.

On the way we went to the Hundertwasser Art Centre. The first thing that comes to my mind is no strait lines for him. He didn’tlike strait lines there was a rooftop garden because he loves nature. Driving in through the school gates was also amazing being back at home felt good.

Kia Ora, two weeks ago we went on a school camp to the Bay of Islands. So in the morning on Monday we all arrived at school at 7:15 in the morning, packed our bags into the bus, said goodbye to our parents and we were off. I felt quite scared because I had never been away from my Mum, Sister and Brother for a whole five days but I pushed through it cause I had my dad by my side the whole time.

My favourite day was day four because we got to go kayaking at Urupukapuka Island. But before that we went on a ferry to get to the Island. Once we got to the Island we saw where we were going to kayak then went for a massive walk up hills, down hills and back around to where we were kayaking. When we got there we all got changed into our togs then half of us went kayaking while the others went swimming. I went swimming first. It was soooo cold. Then it was time to kayak. The day had finished and we had finished our showers and it was time to Kiwi Hunt. We had colour groups and we went group by group. Our group colour got called and we were off. there was part of a tree that was so tall. One of our teachers was climbing over it and laughed and scared all the kiwis away! So I didn’t get to see any kiwis.

Bye for now.

Hello Reader(s)

On Wednesday November the 1st Mr Riceman got us to do a very fun activity. The activity was…   making an Eco-house on Minecraft or on paper.

First we learnt about what ” Eco” means and also what helps keep the planet alive. Then Mr Riceman explained what an Eco-house is. It is a house that is Eco-friendly meaning that it cares for the environment / world / planet.

After that Mr Riceman let us create our own Eco-House on Minecraft or on paper. It had to be Eco-friendly so that it was good for the environment.

It was very fun to do on Minecraft or on paper. I wish I will do it again.

It’s the end Reader(s) Bye!

Kia ora! my name is Sarah and I will be telling you adout my favourite camp day. Now let’s get right in to it my favourite day was day five. In the morning it was busy because we all were packing up because it was the last day but when we got on the road it was a long drive and when I say long drive I mean a long long drive.

After a while we stopped at a museum called the Hundertwasser art museum. It was so cool and exciting but before we went inside the museum we had some apples and cookies.

He is such a interesting man because he doesn’t like straight lines so in the museum the floor is bumpy and he makes gardens on his roofs on his buildings and that is why he is no ordinary man.

Bye and have a great day!

Hello,

Last last week we went to school camp at the bay of islands. My favorite day was Wednesday because we went down the sand dunes. I loved it. but we had to learn how to stop you slow down. You went down the sand dunes on a boogie boards. I made a person out of sand and I dug a big hole.

We also went to a 4D movie theater. The chairs had smoke dispensers next to  them. it smelled like dead fish. Under the chairs there were whipps connected to motors. It was so fun. after we had lunch and went back to the camp ground.
