 Rock hopping
“Get a move on!” yelled Josh. Man, Josh is impatient. I am trying my best to swing around this flat rock the hard way and my hands just couldn’t grip onto the rock . He’s following me. It’s the first day of camp and Room 16 are rock climbing/hopping. Rock hopping all round a lake called Lake Kiriopukae. I was having so much fun. Then, finally, I swung round. I jumped on to the next rock. It felt like I was running away from fire. That’s how fast I was going (I hate fire). I run round and up a triangle rock. I grab onto the top and.... slip I try again. I reach the top and... pull myself up I’m so pleased. I slide down the other side.


I run up the rock then bounce off it and grab the other one and pull myself up. Yes! I’m the first one up then I slide down the other side. Wow that was bumpy ride down.
I run up a rock and 360 and grab the top (well that’s what I wished). I run to the finish then everybody else comes running. Yes I’m the first person to get an apple and biscuits I sit down but I don’t have a rest because I want more............

Caves

“Get comfortable” I tell Josh because theres about two minutes to wait. Later, we’re moving again. I commando crawl my way out. I pull my legs up and out of the hole then line up for the next caves.

Its the next cave where we have to go on my hands and knees. Splash! I slip on to my stomach. Oh no, I fell into a mud puddle. I start to crawl out but then I’m stuck. I’m moving as hard as I can. Whoooosh! I slide out of the mud. Next, I get onto my feet and climb the rest. We walk to where its dry. We’re sitting underneath a overhanging rock. I walk around looking for bugs to scare Sam because he through a mud ball at me. Theres a cockroach. I pick it up by the antennas and throw it at Sam “AAAAAHHHH” he screams. I laugh hes angry and embarrassed! then we move on to the next cave.

We start walking in the cave then it gets lower. We’re crawling on our hands and knees. We pop out of a hole then go down a ladder. We stop and wait for the rest of the class, its a zig zag all the way up. Finally, I reach my destination but I still have to go a little bit longer, its a wee wait, but we reach the end and squeeze our way out. I pause Miss Hill takes a photo click click and I slide out then line up for a biscuit. I race to get my seat at the sandy overhanging rock and I sit down and have a rest. I start asking Crighton what was his favorite part about the caves he liked the last one because it was the muddiest one. Where moving onto the next cave now I’m so excited because this cave had heaps of wetas then we walk in and all I can hear is who farted I have a whiff up my nose WOW!!!! thats a strong scent .

I am beating him I reach the top woohoo About five minutes later I Hear I’m dieing it’s anthony then another five minutes later everybody has reach the top.


Kayaking

“Left right left right”I say to Sam as where paddling through the water I’m having so much fun because kayaking is one of my favorite things to do because it involves water and I love water.
we are just cruising along the water when BAM!!! we get splash we turn around to see who it is its......
Nikita. We start paddling like we have never before. Left Right Left Right then I bring my paddle forward just scoop water onto my paddle then stop and make sure I don’t let go of the paddle. Wooshh!!!!! the water flicks off my paddle we watching her reaction she screws up her face like a prune. We quickly turn around and speed off then cruise for a while we pretend to shot the ducks. We get called in and swap kayak's with people who haven't been then I hope in a kayak with lily because I have to teach her how to row so I hope in and say that you need to have the paddle with the curve to scoop the water.

Facts about the narwhal

INTRODUCTION

Whales are very interesting animal they are mammals. They live in the water so I have made a document to show you stuff about whales the whale that I’m writing about is a narwhal so read on to find out more.

______________________________________________________________________

Here are all the speshes of whales heres their names:
Humpback whale(17 metres)
Common dolphin (2.4 metres)
Grey whale (15 metres)
bowhead whale (18 metres)
Sperm whale (20 Metres)
Killer whale (9 Metres)
Blue whale (30 metres)
Narwhal (6 Metres)
Southern right whales (17 metres)
Spectacled porpoise (2.1 Metres)
Bottlenose dolphin 3.8 metre

___________________________________________________________________


What they use their tusk for?
It is actually an extra long tooth. They use it for ice breaking, fighting

______________________________________________________________________________


What do narwhal eat?
Narwhals create a sort-of vacuum and suck up their food which includes squid, Greenland halibut, shrimp, Arctic cod, rockfish, flounder, and crab. Narwhals only have two vestigial teeth. The male narwhal tusk is thought to play no role in feeding because males and tuskless females consume the same diet.

______________________________________________________________________________


How long do narwhal live for? How do they die?

Narwhals may live for 30-40 years. The only real animal predator of narwhals are killer whales that journey up to the Arctic regions. Narwhals are hunted by Inuit people for their skin, oil, meat, and tusks.

______________________________________________________________________________

Where do narwhal live?
Narwhals spend their whole lives in Arctic waters, bordering Russia, North America, and Greenland.

______________________________________________________________________________


How can I indentfy a narwhal male to female?
Male Narwhal are easy to identify because of there long white tusk. The tusk tend to be covered in algae except for the tip. Adult male and female narwhal are mottled and spotted grey, green, black and cream colour. Narwhal are born grey, darken in colour and then, starting with the belly, whiten with age.

______________________________________________________________________________

Description?
They have one very long tooth or tusk they live in the water there preditor is the killer whale. They are very pretty.

Camp Reflection

Reflection for Camp
My goal for camp was to beat Richard in the pipe line
The boys in my class achieved hugging the rata because there are heps of boys in my class
Something I was pleased with was being the first kid up the pipeline

because I didn't stop running

I really enjoyed learning about the rata tree

Something I learn't is that it is 800-1000 year old

Something I found hard was the master chef

Something that made me think was the quiz

because there were some diffucilt question

· My top 5 favourite things about camp were:

Favourite Things. Reason Why
1.kayaking. because it involved water
2.caves. because it was dark and easy to scare people.
3.pipeline. because we were running
4.confidence course. because their we're non stop activities.
5.dodge ball. because we got to face our friend and because we got to duck a slide.

Waikaremoana

We had to draw a retell of the story and put it into 5 parts this is my one.
Once there were 3 taniwha and one normal girl. Their dad told the taniwha's to fetch some water but from the far springs. So off they set but they stopped at the first spring water. Then they took it back to the  taniwha. He took a sip then spat it out and turned them into rocks.

At first the girl refused to get the water too. Then she got scared. So she went looking for her father. She found him but he was not pleased. He jumped on her and pushed her into the springs. She turned into a taniwha and pushed her dad out but she couldn't get out she pushed and pushed. This made the lake bigger and bigger. Now she lies in the water watching everyone.

stellated Dodecahedron

This is my stellated Dodecahedron.  Things that you will need is paper, hot glue gun, scissors, pen\pencil, spray paint. first go to the internet and print out two nets for a dodecahedron. Next make one net. After that cut out one pentagon off the net. when you have finished that copy the pentagon on to another page and off each corner put a triangle then fold all corners that are the top ones together. Then glue the pentagons to another petagon.

Team Logo

This is the V8 Jelly-beans team logo. There are Jelly beans as the background and a V8 car in the middle and we have our names in one jelly bean each.
