Camp recount
On october 27th Ruru, which is my class, gets to go on camp but if we wanted to go
on camp we had to be at school by 8:30am which is quite early in the morning for
me because I usually get up at 7:30am then start getting ready. Once it was 9:00am
the whole of Ruru had to get inside the class and we had to do a roll check to see
who was here and who wasn’t here once that was done we finally got to get on the
bus and make our way to Living springs. The bus drive took us a whole 40 minutes
to get there.
When we arrived at Living Springs we met two lovely people, one girl and one boy
and they took us around the place and they stopped in certain places to tell us
interesting facts about the things that we saw. When we made it past the
boundaries we finally made it halfway but suddenly when I looked up we had to
hike up a hill that felt like the same size as mount everest. It took about 2 hours to
just hike up a ginormous hill but then next minute we were up on top of the hill so I
sat down for about 10 minutes then we had to get up and get into the Auditorium
and sit down and have a little chat about what we are doing next.
After all of that we had to do orienteering. We had to get into groups of 5 and in
my group there was Hannah Hannaneh Polly Lottie and of course Jade. At
Orientering we had find different signs that had to letters on it then we had to
figure out what number it was so for example the sign was where the fence is then
we had to flip our map over and find the word that said tree once you find the word
then there was a number beside it then that was the number you have to put in.
After Orientering we had recreational games. Here are some of the things that I
did. I started off by doing the Monorail then after the Monorail I did the Zipline
then finally after the Zipline I did the rope swing which was really crazy because
you swing all over the place.
After that we had to go back inside and we got to have 30 minutes free time and
for free time I kept on setting up my bunk room so it was ready for me to sleep in.
After our free time was up we had to do a Auction and if you don’t know what an
Auction is it is where you spend money to buy things but we weren”t going to spend
real money on stuff we are buying stuff with our camp money that we had made at
the start of term 3. For the Auction the first thing up for grabs was 2 crunchie
bars and Devon bought them for 1000 camp dollars and I was like what was that for. The next bid was for for 2 crunchie bars and 2 chocolate freddos and Devon won it
again for 1200 dollars I said why did you do that Devon now your just wasting your
camp dollars and the last bid was to be the talent quest judge for WGT which is
Wigram’s got talent. Karaitiana won it for 1700 dollars. I tried to bid for it but I
only had 1155 dollars so I was Nowhere near that much money.
After our Auction we did our Wigram’s Got Talent show and the first act was
Jaydah Karaitiana and Victoria's dance and it was really amazing and guess what
they came first place in the dancing competition from Wigram’s Got Talent.
I couldn’t remember the rest but for our group which was Me Jade, Hannaneh,
Polly and Lottie. We were doing magic and guess what we got a 10 from Miss Lee
and we also got a 10 from Miss Bunting and we got a 12 from Miss Ferguson and
we got an 11 from Karaitiana and our final score was 43 and we were really surprised
especially when Miss Ferguson pulled the number 12 which was the highest numbe
r pulled out for the whole of the camp concert. Once all the acts were done we had
to walk back to our bunk room and have a little chat before 9:30pm so that is what
we did for the first day but I said to myself there are still 2 more days left till we
go back to school by the time I finished saying that I was fast asleep.
Day 2 28th october 2021.
The next morning when we woke up we had to have breakfast and get dressed which
shouldn’t take too long. For breakfast we had cereal and If you want to you can
have toast. Once we all finished our breakfast we got to do 4 different activities
each one took 1 hour 30 minutes minutes long. The first one is that tribe 3,
which is my tribe, went to initiatives where you have to do all sorts of activities
and work together. Our tribe did really well. Once we finished initiatives we had
to get back to Don's shed and eat morning tea and I finished before anyone else. I
had to wait patiently then finally Miss Lee yelled out so loud I almost begane to get
death but luckily I didn’t. The next activity was the Low ropes and that was pretty
easy for me because I am really athletic. Once that was done we had to go back
and eat some lunch and for lunch we had nachos and the only thing that was bad
about it was the peas and beans. If it didn’t have peas and beans it was the best.
After lunch we got to go bouldering and Alister made it the furthest because he
made it to the Mount cook. After that we had to go to a bush psychology walk and
when we arrived we got to draw a leaf and we got to choose the leaf we drawed
. After that we had to chew on a leaf and apparently it is a medicine if you have a
toothache. Once those were done we got to have dinner and for dinner we had
cheese burgers and chips and it was also delicious. Once dinner was done we got to
have another Auction but sadly I didn’t win anything again. After that Auction we
had our movie and the movie we watched was Sonic the Hedgehog and we got to
watch 40 minutes of it and we got to watch the rest at school. When we stopped
the movie we had to go to sleep so good night.
Day 3 29th october 2021
The next morning we had to get up and eat breakfast and get ready to go back to
school so I started off by doing my sleeping bag and that was the easiest thing of
them all. After I finished packing we did another Auction and guess what I one
apprise and the prize was one rubber lipstick a notebooka necklace a key chain
anda pencil and it only cost $1,100 cheap as. After the last Auction we played a
game called Animal survier and I just hid in the bush and I didn’t lose a single life.
Once the game was over we had to get on the bus and go back to school.
THE END

THis was a great blog post, enjoy your weekend..

Hi Jade,what I liked about this blog post is how you explained all the activities of how it works before you talked about what you did when you were playing it but you could maybe try to add the dates of the second day of camp too.
