Te Wera by McKenzie



         Te Wera
I just got to camp. It was called Te Wera.  I went up to my room. It was the bunk room. We were called Moa. I was in there with Ava, Elise, Bianca, Zoey and Paige. I started to unpack. Next we went down to the dining room. Mrs B said we are going to do some activities like a rope course, spider web and more. After that my mum went. Then we had afternoon tea and we went on the water slide and at the bottom was sheep poo!  I got dressed and then played with my friends. We had tea and went to bed.
    Second day  
I woke up and went down for breakfast. After breakfast I had a shower got dress and went back to the dining room. We are going to do some activities. I was doing camp fire cooking, Photography with Mrs H and bush survival. First we did photography for that we had to write a story about the forest. My story was about what I see, heard, and felt. Next was morning tea we had chocolate biscuits and fruit. Next was camp fire cooking. For camp fire cooking you need a hungry tummy, but I just had morning tea! We started walking to the farm where the cooking was. We cooked banana split, potatoes, marshmallows and bread. My favourite was the bread and potatoes. We had to go back for lunch. I did not what lunch because I had morning tea and went camp fire cooking. I was already full. The lunch was so good. After lunch we did bush survival. After that it was afternoon tea. I love the food we get at camp. Next we had free time. Then we had to go kayaking because on Wednesday it is supposed to be raining. My group and another group went.  I went in a car with Mr Wells and Mrs H. We got there, my group got to go first. It was fun. Callum fell out.  That was really funny! When we got back I went on the water slide. We had tea and then we had a game of spot light and went to bed.
    Third day
I woke up, the other girls were playing cards. I had a shower and then went to breakfast but it was raining outside. For breakfast I had cornflakes, peaches and weet-bix. I played in the dining room for a little bit. We were not going to do any activities because it was raining. Some people stayed in their cabins. At lunch time my dad came out for a little bit. I was going eeling, my dad came. We put our lines in the water and we had to wait. We did not catch an eel but we were going to leave them there and at night we were going to come back. When we got back we went on the water slide again. My dad was holding the hose and spraying people with it. It was my turn. Lee Cooper got dish washing liquid in my mouth. Yuck!! It was so gross.  Mr Cooper said to me that I should not have had my mouth open! After the water slide I had a nice warm shower and got dressed and went back to the dining room, everyone was playing games. I started to play a game to but I can’t remember the name of the game. I loved the game. Next it was tea time. I was serving the food up. The food looks so good. My favourite was the bread because I made it. After that I went down to see if we got an eel. My dad went home. I said to him wait to see if we got an eel, but he went. Ethan got an eel but it was dead and it came off the line. We decided to go back. We were going to leave the lines there and in the morning go and see if we got one. So we went back and went to sleep.
       Last day
I got up, I went down for breakfast. For breakfast there was ice-cream, pancakes, eggs, chocolate and sausages.  It was yummy!  After breakfast we went back to the eeling line. I was still in my pj’s. Kate got an eel, we killed it. Kate called it Bob. The other kids went down the river a little bit more. Leah or Nina got an eel. We started to walk back. My friends packed up my stuff. My clothes for that day were in my bag so I could not get dressed. I put my stuff in the Coopers car. I went in to the dining room and made a card house. Next it was lunch time. For lunch we had burgers and some smoked eel. The eel was so nice. After lunch I went down to play on the flying fox and the playground. Next everyone was going home.
Good by camp Te Wera.

Yesterday we launched our community services project that will take us through to the end of term. We have asked students to form groups of 4 or 5 and to brainstorm project ideas.  We are encouraging them to consider how they might make a difference to the community of Lepperton.






There are lots of ideas that can be found by following this link to pinterest.
