Our Favourite Things About Camp

Jasper: my favourite things were the go-carts, hydroslide and the waterslide. The reason I liked the go-carts was because I could drive full speed. I liked the hydroslide because of the corners. I liked the waterslide because I went super fast.

Keegan: my favourite things at camp were the flying fox, kayaking, and the waterslide because I had a go at all of them.

Jay: my favourite thing at camp was the waterslide because when I went down it felt like I was going so fast I would ZOOM past the island and go in the prickly bushes that you go into when you go on the flying fox!

Matthew: my favourite things at camp were the waterslide and the flying fox. The waterslide was first because it went really really fast. When I went down it, Josh saw me and I was like "opp opp opp opp op oppa Gangnam style" and just before the end of the water it goes all wiggly and then SPLASH!

Lee: my favourite thing at camp was going in the kayak because I have never been in one before and was trying to tip everyone over and I fell out.

Mady: my favourite thing at camp was the hydroslide because it was so fast and you didn't know when it finished.

Josh: my favourite thing at camp was going on the go-karts because I was allowed to drive the go-kart.

Kynan: my favourite thing at camp was the go-carts because I said "oh my God he is going to flip, oh my God he is going to flip". I also liked the golf because it was tricky.

Levi: my favourite thing at camp was the kayaks because Daniel kept splashing me so I gave him revenge by holding onto the front of his kayak, and he rammed me and Lucas in the kayaks.

Tate: my favourite thing at camp was the go-karts because I am tall enough to drive, plus it is complicated over the rocks and stones.

Lucas: my favourite thing at camp was kayaking because I fell out of the kayak on shore and got soaked but I still had fun.

Sky: my favourite thing at camp was going down the cool, blue, big exciting waterslide with Siao-Wei because it went really fast and when we went round the corners I thought that I was going to fall off the mat.

Krystal: my favourite thing at camp was kayaking by myself, having tea with you and Sky and having hokey pokey ice cream sandwiches for a special dessert before we left.

Anna: my favourite thing at camp was going on the waterslide. It was funny when Mackenzie's Dad did a big splash and got Mackenzie wet.

Siao-Wei: my favourite thing at camp was the big blue waterslide because it was going fast and cool. When I was on the waterslide, I was with Sky. It was exciting and fun! It was so fun!!

My time at camp!

On Monday I had to get ready for our long journey to Bridge Valley Camp and I was in group 2. Our first rotation was slippery pole and it was very tricky to get down Seth. But still I bet him. Then when I versed Kaitlin I was hanging on the bottem of the pole and then I HAD to fall.

The next rotation was the water slide and the pool. I liked the water slide more, because in the pool I got a surprise that it was too deep and within the water slide I did not drown because I had something to support me the one the only, SUPER LIFE JACKET!!!

Then by the time the day flew by the year 3's had gone. Then we had our concert. my favourite act was daniel on the keyboard doing crazy frog because it was interesting how he did it.

Then we got to have a milo and a COOKIE and I liked the chocolate chip cookies, mmmm my favourite!

The Masked Parade

Last Friday night we went to the masked parade and it was fantastic.

We saw lots of fantastic masks and there were lots of people there.

We won the best school out of lots of school and so we got a prize!!!!

When we were walking around town there were lots of people watching us.

Everyone was clapping, laughing and cheering.

We were singing and doing the actions to the song Nga Iwi E and we were walking in a circle.

Everyone looked awesome, fantastic and cool.

Our class and R1 and R16 was the forest and our Maori name was Tane Mahuta.

Making Masks

We made the masks for the masked parade by cutting cereal boxes and painted them. Mr Witty's one looked hilarious on him. His eye holes were to thin for him. Kate's one looked hilarious too. She had the same as the classes but with circles. We were the god of the forest and the Maori name is Tane Mahuta. Room 1's mask was the same god as Room 6's but it had green ferns on the top. Room 6 had flax instead.

Using iPads

USING THE IPADS

On Tuesday we used the black, purple and red IPADS. The download we used was puppet pals. There were tons of characters like zombies, princesses, animals and evil monsters. You can choose lots of different scenes like meadows and scary castles and the white house and dark forests. How you use puppet pals is you make a story with different characters in different scenes. We loved it and some were so funny.          

Mondrian Art

Mondrian Art                          

On Tuesday Mr. Witty taught us Mondrian art. It had all the primary colours like red, yellow And blue. And also black and white. You need a ruler and a piece of paper. We draw squares and rectangles. We will stick on pieces of black paper after the paint dries.

The name of the artist is Piet Mondrian. What I think about Piet's art is he is really creative, because it has all the primary colours.  I also think Piet is clever because instead of painting on papers  he paints houses and  cars. I think its awesome.

Cirque Du Room 6

Two weeks ago we had a circus. It was fun. There were lots of acts. There were clowns, pyramids and jokers.

Before we performed our circus on Friday we spent the week learning about the circus with Kate and Mr. Witty. With Mr. Witty we did skipping, hula hooping, and clowns. With Kate we did juggling and balancing. We watched videos and practised ourselves.

Then on Friday we had costumes and makeup and we all performed in the Room 6 Circus. Look at the photos.
