Camp Bentzon Recount

The Best Camp Of My Life!!!

Week 6 Tuesday, arriving at sandspit after at least an hour and a half drive in the bus, we finally were getting ready to go on the ferry loading the bags, taking our time. When we finished we all went up on to the the top of the ferry to look out for some dolphins. Just seeing dolphin’s in the distance was still amazing and we were always getting closer to the camp and passing the mansion as we finally got there and started unpacking.

Orienteering: “Orienteering” I thought it would be amazing and I was right. First my group were just mucking around for the first eight and after that, me and Taunese went crazy we probably found the other 12 in about 20 minutes. Soo while me and Taunese were searching for them we forgot that we ditched our group so we had to wait for Shaitarn, Taiaha, Ava, My mum, and Junior. We waited for about 5-8 minutes and once they found us we were back on the trail, it was hard for the rest of the group to keep up with me, Taunese and Junior. Once we finished we went back to find out the words (Me and Taunese) we found out the words and they were.......

Kayaking : “Kayaking” I thought I am the best at that  I thought. So when we were getting our kayaks out I was getting really excited until I felt the water. The water was horrible it was so choppy (Big Wind) that we couldn't leave the shore so there were people falling out, people falling behind and also people drifting away. While we were kayaking Taunese actually tipped and lost her shoes they found one but the other is somewhere lost in the ocean. Another one that fell out was Junior I don’t know how he fell out but he just did. So we probably had the worst day to go on the kayaks so  that was kayaking.

Sailing: “Sailing”, was my most favorite thing in the whole camp! I loved it me, Ava and Taunese ruled that one. Again Junior fell in the water but man it was AMAZING! After doing it I would do it for life and out of all the time I was doing drifts (Tiller to the sail). If you haven't tried sailing then you have to try it we rode in a optimust. When you tip (Capsize) it will be more fun than scary and it will be very cool nearly capsizing because I nearly fell out about 5 times.

Our Cabins: “My cabin” It was very small for five people but it worked. In my cabin was Stevenson (Best Friend), Jordan, Louis and Owen and they are all my friends. It was awesome at night time but not as good as the day we had awesome well, some I didn't have so good nights because of snoring. The cabin was uncomfortable but I didn’t mind it better than nothing. The best thing in the cabin was the munchies and my friends and my self. My cabin was the letter G and we were able to choose our beds I chose the top bunk at first but then Stevenson moaned that he wanted it sooo, I was left on the bottom bunk.

Coclusion: “Leaving” The hardest thing for me was actually leaving the camp. I really enjoyed my time I definitely recommend it the second best camp I’ve ever been to. The camp is the camp of pain but it is worh it.

Writing Test How To Be A Good Friend

WALT: Explain to your reader what being a good friend means

A friend is a person that is a great person that helps you. Whenever you’re with a friend they make you better when you’re feeling sad or angry or at least they try you just have to let them.

Every now and then you and your friend will have a little or big argument, but thats how it should be. Well if you have a so awesome friend that forgives you in every single way and just moves along thats great but you just have to forgive them as well if you they have stuck up for you many times. Falling out with your friend is a bad thing but you should always become friends again (Depending on how bad it is) “I have been in bad situations with my friends but we always just put it behind us.” It is usual to lose a friend or disagree it is totally normal so dont worry if you do just always be in contact with them.

” Ahhhhhhhhhh (relaxing ahh) best friends aren't they the best?” Best friends are where they support, encourage and help in any different way. Now you can be so close with your best friends that you hang out all the time “Like me and my best friend.” “Me and my best friend Stevenson hang out all the time we even decided to be like brothers” all im saying is that, you can be so close with someone you’ll be like family. Whenever you're feeling sad or unappreciated there the ones to go talk and communicate or your parents but its up to you to choose.

If you are a good friend to all of your friends then you have a really good chance, that they will all pretty much the same things that a best friend would do. Being a really good buddy is like being a or atleast try to be a best friend. Could you be the best buddy you can be to support, encourage and help in any possible way?

The main thing im trying to say is always try your hardest to be the best friend you can be.

Being Fit

Did you know that you're body is an amazing machine? It just needs to be used every day to keep it working well.

Exercise keeps your body strong and fit. Fitness means having the energy to work, and play and do all the things you want to do easily. Your body can not store fitness so you need to exercise regularly to stay fit.

Exercise makes you feel and look better it keeps your body a healthy weight. It helps you relax and sleep better, and when you exercise your body produces, chemicals called endorphins which go to your brain and make you feel good.

Exercise for strength makes your muscles stronger, so you can work different parts of your body without feeling weak. Exercise for stamina makes you heart and lungs stronger, and helps blood flow easily around your body. Staniama is the ability to exercise for longer without getting tired or out of breath.

So you need to move it!

What Capital Letters Are

Capitals - what are they and when do you use them in writing?

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.  

Introduction:

Capital letters are bigger than the lower case (or little letters) and the capitals are not always the same as the lower case letters. Now Upper letters has anyone heard of that? Well upper letters are actually the real word for capitals.

You use capitals at the beginning of a country, city, town. When you are in any geographical place that place always start’s with a capital at the beginning. So for example I am in a city called Las Vegas.

Every time you say or write someone’s name you have to start their name with a capital. Here is a example “My friends name is Taimana” that is how it is done. That is how it should be done and if it is not t will be very embarrassing.(It is about year 3 things)

This is an example of titles, “I went to the Warehouse at  Sylvia park, then went to EB games & looked at two games called Destiny and Fifa 15, after that we went to the movies to watch ANNABELLE”. Every time you say a brand company or even a shop you have to start it off with a capital .

Every time you say or book a date you have to start it with a capital or maybe even an annual day like Christmas. Here is an example “I am going to spend my Christmas with my family and St Patricks day with my friends”. That is how you do that.

Hopefully know you know how to use capital so use them!

The Holidays Are On!

Monday: The holiday’s are on, especially for me I am loving it kicking back relaxing & enjoying the sun. If you are already enjoying it as much as me please make sure to leave a comment.

Now I am kind of actually missing school from like things to work on & my friends. But I still am having fun with my uncle & electronics walking, Xbox360, computer & Kicking the ball at dunkirk park in panmure. Tuesday: Today me and my uncle were playing Xbox live & then we went up to the shop’s got some food & drinks and if you are or did something interesting please leave it in the comments.  Ok so we got back & waiting relaxing for about a good 1 to 2 hours until my aunty, uncle & cousins came around on bike’s. So when they came me & my sister went with them to there house. Me & my cousin Josh were running while my aunty, uncle, sis & cousin was riding in the bike and at home we got our uncle to look after us.

When we left to go to our aunty’s first we played some shoots with the basketball & netball  and then we went inside to play on the PS3 and we played Rugby league. When we finished playing league we went outside again and played volleyball so it was me & Josh vs kaycee (my sister) and isiah my cousin. We were playing and every now and then i would or Josh would bump the ball and we would strike. After about a good 30-45 minutes we went back inside the score was 30-33 and we lost so kaycee & isiah won. When we finished we went back on to the PS3 & watched Sione’s Wedding unfinished business. So we were leaving and Josh & Isaiah ended up coming to our house so Kaycee & isaiah went home while me & Josh stopped at dunkirk to do some awesome conversions.  

Wednesday: So we got back and it was my cousins birthday & the food he chose to eat was Mcdonalds. He is now 10 years of age & his name is Tu Ariki so thats the end of that. After we ate dinner I went into my room & me and Josh were playing rugby and now after that I am actually bruised on my neck, hip, wrist & shoulder. So after we played rugby we decided to do a all nighter and it was awesome we watched movie’s, game’s. and music. So at about 4:30 I started to get really tired. And in the morning I ended up like being a little bit dizzy but once I started moving I was algood. Me & Josh went back and started rugby again until my uncle decided we would go to the reserve & kick the ball around. And me & Josh ended up playing held.

So Everybody I hope you enjoyed week 1 of 2 week’s and next week I will post another one and remember to leave some comments please and get ready for week 2 holiday writing.
