Waka Ama/Camp Reflection

 

What did we do at camp?

We went to karitani for our camp we went on a waka and a walk and the guy share stories

about Maori myths and legends.  On the waka we went out to a island and then we planted some flax’s.      

 

What was the most challenging part of camp?

Trying to go to sleep in the hall with everyone.  

 

To make camp better, I think I would change or add?

I would make so we don’t have to do a test because I hate tests.  

 

How do I feel about camp now that I have been on this camp? Would you like to go to another school camp?

I felt happy because I like camps!!!

 

What was the best activity? Describe why you thought it was the best.

My favorite bit was the walk because I like tramping.  

 

Describe one thing that you learnt while on camp

Lab in a box

Today we went to a lab in a box.

 

A lab in a box is a small lab.  There was 4 rotations we started at the pee place

there was fake pee we had bits of paper with different colors on them you dip them

in the fake pee then the color will change and then you measure the color on a

graph.  The next rotation was learning about a bit in the brain then we made a

piece out of pipe cleaners and pompoms.  The next we to a place we put on glasses

that made you go all dizzy we had to try and get balls in a basket with them on. Our 4th rotation was learning about different liquids.

 

I learned a lot for lab in a box.

We traveled for four hours until we reached Hanmer Springs.  We stayed at a Lodge for a night we woke up and had breakfast.  Then carried on traveling to Nelson we spent the next 5 hours talking, eating and stopping.  we finally reached Nelson for the football tournament we would be staying the next 5 days at the motel.  We arrived at 5:00 we unpacked are stuff and grabbed are togs and went to the beach!!!

O.I.S. Triathlon

 

It was a sunny Wednesday afternoon and it was the O.I.S TRIATHLON!!!  Lewis was swimming, Locke was biking and I was running. I saw Locke on his last lap, he was tired but he was still going fast.  He finally came and tagged me, I ran across the bike track and onto the running field.  I started my first lap, I got a mark at half way then another one and another.  I was on the final stretch and I had the stitch, but I could not let my team down and I finished.  

We think we came 2nd but we are not sure if we did.  After the race we gave each other high fives and said well done!!!  It was so fun, I can’t wait until next year!!!
