Camp Thoughts

My highlight was sailing and bivouac building.When we did sailing I was excited because I could steer the boat by myself.

Bivouac building was fun and I found lots of sticks down the creek.This is my first school camp and I hope they rest are all as much fun.

T iring long walk
R acing down hill
A mazing views of the sounds
M r Paterson lied !!
Puffed but proud to have done it.

Camp Concert Recount by Nina.
Our camp concert was awesome.Axel starred in Welcome to Vietnam.It was a lot of fun to make up the skits.I've never laughed so hard in my life.Everyone performed,even the adults in their skit " Shortland Street".Mrs K was a dying patient.Tony was a great nurse.

The Tramp

We went on a walk,
heaps of us had a talk.
Mr. Paterson lied !!!
and everyone sighed.
We had our lunch,
it was a big munch.
The karariki were so green,
the cutest birds I have seen.
The walk back made me feel queezy,
but it turned out to be easy.
I was looking forward to a swim,
so I enjoyed getting in.

Camp writing

Cricket was fun,
until Sam got a run.
Our team went boo,
while the other team went wahoo !
The ball went high,
Jhudge said "goodbye !"
He was next in and said ,"we will win!"
As the time flashed,
they got smashed !!

Camp Recount Part 1 by Jonty
I was all alone.Stuck in the middle of the bay,avoiding crazy drivers like Corey,James and Toby.It was mayhem for me....nearly tipping,crashing,...and parts falling out of my boat.The worst was still to come...... and the best.... to be continued......

Cullyn's Acrostic Poem

Cullyn the cockle hunter !
Old cockles clinging to life
Kicking cockles in the mud
Lots there for us all
Egging them on to get out
Icey cold water
Nice feed that night
Gee I feel satisfied.

Hannah's Poem
Jumping off the wharf into the water,
just as I yell, "I am the chef's daughter!!"
Splish,splosh,splash, and my daddy has cash.

Mistletoe Bay Camp

Mistletoe Bay Camp was so much fun. We did lot's of fun activities. Here's a few of them-

Marlborough adventurers club- The marlborough adventurers club came along and taught us sailing, kayaking and bush study. Sailing was a class favourite. We had some small, 2 man yachts which were a lot of fun. The wind wasn't very fast at the beginning but after a while the wind picked up. One child-Jonty Brensell-sailed half-way to Picton.
More to come,
By James and Angus.

When the Year 7/8s were away at Technology we had our own Technology Challenge.Using just sheets of newspaper,one sheet of card and sellotape we had to work together to meet this challenge.
A plane has crashed into a ravine.Your radio works,but the surrounding hills block reception out.We had to build a tower as tall as we could(to get reception)but also strong enough to hold the weight of the radio.We worked well in teams and listened to each others ideas.Not all towers were strong enough to hold the radio,but we learnt a lot and had FUN.

On April 1st Mr.Paterson told us that a satellite would be passing over at 11.15 to take a photo of the school for google earth.James did a great job in getting the whole school organised.What was the date again ???? Yes we were APRIL FOOLS

After many lunchtime practices we challenged Havelock to a game of cricket.We scored 156 with Jhudge topscoring with 49.Jonny with 11 and Axel with 15 also batted well.With an excellent bowling and fielding effort we managed to bowl Havelock out for 75.Jakeb,Jonty and Jonny took 3 wickets each,and Corey,James and Angus got two each.Tai and Sean took a wicket each.Kohri was the fielder of the day pulling off many fine saves.Jonny did an excellent job as captain and Jakeb helped him out as vice captain.We were rapped that so many parents came to watch and support us.We especially want to thank Mr Brown who rolled the wicket and Mr McKay who scored the game for us.Jonny gave an excellent speech after the match and we enjoyed the food and drink after our really good team performance and Win !!
Our winning team was: Jonny(capt),Jakeb (v-cap),Jonty,James,Axel,Angus,Kenai,Jhudge,Tai,Sean,Cullyn,Corey and our secret weapon Kohri !!
