Camp Adair

At the start of term 4 the year 7 & 8 students are going to camp Adair. It's going to be so much fun. There are lots of fun activities that we're going to do like the pamper pole which is pretty much climbing up a pole and trying to jump and touch a pink ball that is suspend in the air. There is a lot of cool activities at Camp Adair and I can't wait to try all of them. Sadly because of Covid-19 some of our activities will be altered if we are in level 2. Hopefully before term 4 we're back in level 1 so we can do all the amazing activities without to much of a restrictions. 

At Camp Adair there are lots of activities that will take you out of your comfort zone. There is an activity where we sleep outside, and a lot of the activities are hight related and the most highest activity is the pamper pole which is a staggering 15 meters tall. But don't worry all of the activities are completely safe so there is nothing to worry about. 

Soon for camp we will get to know who we are with for our camp activity groups. Hopefully I'm with my friends but I wouldn't mind being with someone new because last year I made a new friend during camp because I had no friends in my camp activity group. Last years camp was somewhere else which took a few hours to get to but luckily this year it only takes about an hour to get to camp Adair.

I can't wait till we go to camp!

End of term

End of term!

Tomorrow is the end of term and I can't wait to be at home not doing work, or at least I hope. Normally I have to do spelling and some maths but it’s only for about 15 minutes so I think I can live with that. I get bored easily so sometimes school holidays are the best but sometimes it’s just sad. For the lockdown I would always get bored because I couldn’t play with anybody so I just sat around reading.

I have to do future problem solving in the last block which is sad because we’re doing lots of fun stuff the so I’m going to miss out 🥺. I sure that most of the boys are going to go crazy because it’s almost school holidays. But at least they get to play on their gaming console all day, I have to say I don’t think that’s very good for you. Once I searched up how much scream time should a year 7 have and it said around 3 hours.

I really hope I can do the tennis holiday program cause I think it’s really fun (also we get chocolate on Friday). My brother is going to go to this basketball holiday program for 2 days so I don’t have to hear him saying “ I’m bored”
And “can you play with me”

I wonder if I could go to one of my friends house for a sleep over? I think that would be so much fun because I haven’t had a sleep over for a long time. I really love sleep overs because it’s just good to catch up and have fun for like 24 hours.

Maybe you could write down in the comments what you’re going to do on the school holidays.

Arataki education center

On the 6th of September, all the year 5s went to Aritaki education center. We traveled there by bus, it was getting too long for me a started feeling car sick. We finally arrived there, when we all got out of the bus we started eating our snack. Once we had finished our yummy snack we went into the classroom. When we were in the classroom we learnt about how the different native plants and animals that were extinct or endangered. We also what different animals that don't belong in New Zealand. Room 15 went down to the place where they help grow the trees. We were meant to bring a yoghurt cup to the trip because we were bringing the plants back to school. Some people brought a container. This is why we needed to bring a yoghurt cup, it was because the parents were meant to poke a hole in it with a nail. Once we had finished planting our plants in the yoghurt cup we went back up the hill back to the porch of the class. We were enjoying our lunch and chatting away. After we ate our lunch room 15 went on a nature walk. We had some stops while we were walking. We had a stop and we had to sit down and listen to what was around us, then we had to write down what we heard on a piece of paper. We had to go find these things that helps you know what pests are in the area. We also had to identify what animal or insect the footprint is. After we found all of them we looked at the traps that kill the pests. It was sad to know how the pests are getting killed I don't think it's their fault that they are killing our native birds and plants. Sadly it was time to go back to school, I had soo much fun being there I hope we can go there again
