Year 5&6 camp 2017

Have you ever been on camp when you were a year ⅚? Well last week we went on our 27 annual year 5 and 6 camp ( I was a camp leader) and our weather was not very good to us. It was rainy and windy but we still behaved as normal, we also had to sleep in tents it felt like sleeping in a plastic bag ( Because it was so windy).

We have camp to show leadership and teamwork. Our camp is held at Pt England school on the big green fields and we also sleep in tents. We held our camp on march 8th, 9th and 10th it was only three days but those three days were awesome. The activities we did was youth town, kayaking, dance practice, bike track, get lost (amazing race kids version), free time, swimming and killer zone. Killer zone is to show how you talk to your group and how you contribute. All of the teams were Captains, President’s, Principals, Generals,Chief's and my group the best one, The Sheriff's.

My favourite part about camp was probably our camp concert. The camp concert was so cool seeing all of the items ( group dances). Also I loved Seeing all of the people smile and put on happy faces. The people who came first was the president's but I actually thought that the Sheriff’s would of won. Also I got nominated for the best dancers, but also I did not win my friend Amelia did and I am proud of her.

On behalf of the year 5 and 6 students we would like to say thank you to all our parents and whanau for  paying for us to go to camp. Also huge up’s to Mr burt for making this happen if it were not for you this wouldn’t all happen. Also I know our parents just wanted three days without their kids.

What I learnt at camp was to work with each other and talk as a group. I would really recommend having a camp at your school because it really shows leadership and how you work as a team. If you are a teacher reading this please start a camp for your students. It was really fun.

Task description: This writing was to explain to someone who knows nothing about camp or even doesn't know what camp even is. I really hope this inspires you to even have a camp at you school.

ambassadors

Today we had our 3rd visitors come to Pt England School for 2017.  You might be wondering 3rd I haven't even hear of the first or second one. Well that is because there is a lot of learning going around Pt England and I have not had any time to post anything about it. Well anyway today the visitors came from the U.S.A and two of them ( the two guys standing on the left) are the boss of all of the warehouses all around New Zealand. Isn't that cool. You can check out our photos from today's morning right herehttps://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOBwdlfIh3speVYz8j28xevPp0-NBDJu0pMC9RDhZjaYstR7GrXElCgV1E11lOz1g/photo/AF1QipP7ocReRKT_Z8FFEblEXHuPrhdSmRf8ddcQTfD3?key=T19Jb2dzd2h1MVVEZVRwa0lZY21QaGRBTFpxQmVR 

Weta's

Weta's are one of the most biggest insects on earth ( a huge spider). Also weta's love eating carrots and also cannot jump. They are also nearly extinct thanks to rats, and an alpine weta can freeze when it is in the winter. most of all the name is "wetapunga" and that means " the gods of ugly things".

Task description: these are ll facts about New Zealand weta and you might find them around your suburb. I had to show some facts about the weta that most people might not know and explain to them what a weta is and what it does and does not.

My native and non-native birds writing

We need more native birds because native birds are really important to NZ. Their are not that much native birds in tamaki and I think we need more because I think that tamaki is a good suburb. Native birds in tamaki would be better because it is making tamaki look beautiful and more clean to the environment.

haven't even seen one kiwi in tamaki so We need more kiwi’s in tamaki. Tamaki is a place where you don’t see that much kiwi’s in fact you don’t see any kiwi’s in Tamaki. Kiwi’s are the most important bird in New Zealand because they are our national bird.

We don’t need that much pigeons because we see them everywhere and when I mean everywhere I mean around New zealand. It would be good if there were less pigeons and more kiwis and New Zealand kaka. Having pigeons is not bad but also I would love to see some native birds in Tamaki.

I would love to have more kiwi’s and more native birds to be in tamaki but also pigeons are all around new Zealand so you can see them everywhere across New Zealand. Having kiwi’s and New Zealand kaka birds would be so cool and I would be so happy if that happy.

task description: This task is what is my favorite bird is and would I like to see it in east Tamaki. The other question was if their were a bird that I did not want in tamaki and swap with a Native bird.
