Camp This Term! :)

By Anonymous -
Last week my hub went to camp! It was sooo fun and we did so many new activities like: 
*Raft Build
*S/L Orienteering
*Search And Rescue
*School Led Activity
*Archery
*Coasteering
*High Ropes
*Kayak Singles
*Kayak Doubles
*Out Door Living

Something I have Learnt... In camp is that in almost every activity working together s a crucial key, if it is from being in a team or just moving something heavy together with another person. Some skills I have learnt is basically how to live out doors e.g build a fire, shelter and how to find a lost person. I also learnt how to belay in high ropes.




Something I Am Grateful For... Is to even be able to come to this camp and being able to spend time with my peers, teachers and instructors/parents. I am so grateful to have such amazing teachers and parents/instructors to organize and lead this camp so we as students can learn and have fun. I am also so grateful for our teachers making all of our food because it would have been really hard to feed all 95 of us.



Something I Found Challenging... Was to get settled and to work together with the people in my activity group. Another thing I found challenging was the time limit to get ready in between each activity because at one point you would only have 15 minutes to go from a water activity to a dry activity.

My Favorite Part Of Camp... Was all of the activities but my all time favorite was high ropes because I love heights and activities like that. I also loved spending time with my friends while having fun and learning new skills. I enjoyed almost every part of what I did and also being able to make new connections with more people that I didn't have before.

 Have you been to camp before?

The Girls Imagination

By Anonymous -
This is the first paragraph of my silent writing that I worked on with my friend Samantha, the name of the story is "The Girls Imagination". Her imagination is forcing her to create something that isn’t reality.She is loosing her breath and mind physically and mentally. She can’t stop her mind it’s too late she jumped off the rocky cliff edge her imagination is now her worst nightmare.She plunged into the surging water as she braced herself for the impact holding her breath she sees light as she got closer the bigger and louder it got it was like a strong force was pulling me she could no longer control herself she starts to loose her breath she knew straight away that she would never make it out alive, then all of a sudden she starts to float away from the hole.

Ballantynes Fire Blurb

By Anonymous -
This term for P.B.L we have been learning about New Zealand history. We had to choose a event in New Zealand and write a blurb about it. This is mine: The Ballantynes Fire On the 18th of November 1947 one of the staff members saw smoke coming out of the stairwell then the fire broke out at 3:30. Unfortunately when they tried to call the brigade they did not log this call. The staff on the ground floor assumed the fire could be maintained so no evacuation happened. When staff came back they were told to get back to work without any sign about the fire.They only started evacuating the staff and customers once the smoke got more intense and became more dangerous. Sadly 41 people died and a pregnant staff member jumped to her death from the building. Source : NZ History Do You Know Anything About The Ballantynes Fire? If So What?

Teachers Strike

By Anonymous -
On the 15th of August the primary teachers went on strike which means we have a day off while the teachers protest for more school time and less paperwork. My opinion on the teachers strike are mixed because it isn't fear that teachers have more paperwork and less time with students but the paperwork can also be important. Teachers work non stop and never really have a day off only if they are sick and even than as soon as they get better the start work straight away. Let's hope they get what they protested for. What are your thoughts on the primary teachers strike?
