Challenging Camp 2019

            🌨⛷ My Freezing adventure 🏔🏂

It took years of looking for gear but the day finally came. It was 8:15 in the morning and the senior syndicate were on a bus heading to Mt Ruapehu. With lots of stops we finally made it. A week later camp had finished, camp zoomed past for me. But after camp I learnt lots of new experiences. We stayed at the lodge - the crossing and there even was a games room and a cool movie room in a wardrobe that looked exactly like the one from Narnia! We also went to the awesome hot pools!!!!! And there we got 2 hot dogs and a cookie!

Smashed car we sore while in the bus to
Mt Ruapehu!

One of my experiences was when you hoping of a chair lift make sure your partner has not fallen over otherwise you will end up tumbling over then and you might get hit by one of the chair lifts! Though It was a snow blizzard at Mt Ruapehu when I was skiing, I still enjoyed myself a lot. Especially when I got to go on the cool Gondola's and chairlifts! I think that If anybody gets the chance of going to Mt Ruapehu, you should defiantly go! It's an amazing journey that you will never forget and you learn heaps from it!   

Plus we also got to go real sledding on snow, it was really fun when you went flying when you stopped! (don't worry, it didn't hurt) My favourite part of camp was trying skiing for the first time because it was really good  and I hardly feel over.

Ski Camp

     🏔❄Mt Ruapehu, here we come!!!⛷🌨

Tomorrow is ski camp and I'm so excited. The senior syndicate of Waikowhai Primary is heading on a bus to Mt Ruapehu that will be - 5* degrees! I am feeling nervous because recently on the news it said that there had been an avalanche! I also feel nervous because this is the longest time I have been away from my cats! As well as being nervous I'm also excited because I get to try out new things and take home different experiences!

Probably the place that is going to push me to my limits is going to be when I'm skiing in Happy Valley! Luckily my friend Zoe is a really good skier and goes there very often with her mum. Hopefully she can help me ski for the first time. Going to camp I will gain trust, friendship and self - management. It will test my limits and will really challenge me. 

I think after camp I will feel relieved that I'm back in my comfy home and that I'm safe back  with my family. I think I will also feel happy that I went on this adventure and happy that I enjoyed myself. Well that's it from me, remember always try different things. Blog ya later!

Squash Learning!

                                  🎾Squash lessons🎉

On Thursday the 9th of August, the senior syndicate had their first squash lessons with a person named Jude from Squash Auckland. We all had fun learning all about Squash. We are going to do squash for the rest of the year. We each got in partners and practised and tried to bounce the ball to each other without stopping. If you don't know what squash is go to http://www.squashauckland.org.nz/Blog where you can learn how to probably play squash. Well that's it from me, blog ya later and enjoy the awesome photo's!
                                                        

My narrative

                     The Mysterious kitten. . . . .

For the past four weeks the senior syndicate has been planning, making and editing our narratives. Our narratives all started with a true story that happened in the weekend. As time slowly went by we exaggerated our story's to make them more adventures and exciting. My story is called the Mysterious kitten, it's about me in the cinema's and people won't be quiet.

With help from a kitten we solved the problem (no spoilers!).  Step-by-step, everyone finally finished their narratives. I think that next time I could add less adjectives because I think I got a bit carried away. My favourite character is the kitten because I love cats! Click here to see and read my narrative, Enjoy!

Basket ball zones

                         🏀Basketball skills!🎉

This week a bunch of talented students from our school went to Basketball Zones. The students went along with our two fabulous adults Bjorn and Ms Sands. All our students had a blast and although the students didn't get ranked, at the end of the day we were all still proud of them. They won four, lost three and drew one. Thank you to Ms Sands for training our wonderful students. I guess with lots of training and hard work you can achieve anything right? Enjoy some of the photo's of our amazing basketball students!   Blog ya later! 

Litter Blitz

                  🚯 Litter Blitz! 🚮

On the 24th of July Waikowhai Primary students went around clearing the streets of rubbish. With help from Z petrol station staff and Auckland Council staff and of course teachers, students and parents we all did a big cleanup. We each wore a small, bright yellow sash and a small, black pin / badge. Everybody had a blast cleaning the environment and once our journey was over we collected 200g of rubbish! Since we used a lot of energy cleaning, at the end we all had a barbecue that was DELICIOUS!
Thank you to all the helpers! Have a look at some of the photo's!

We also had to find golden tickets that were hidden all
