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.

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!

New Sport At Pt England School

By Zane Interviewing Kent Somerville.

The new sport, kiorahi is not famous but super fun for kids playing the game Pt England School.

What Is The New Sport

Paragraph 1:

The new sport is weird but is very interesting for the kids at Pt England School. The game was made from a story or legend. The Legend was about Rahi (Rahi Tu Taka Hina) and his enemy patupaiarehe and Rahi’s wife name is Ti Ara (Te Arakurapakewai). This sport is national to the Maori culture.

How You Play The New Sport (Quotes)

Paragraph 2: Kent Sommerville a teacher at the school has

teaches the kids a few basics. “When you first start off you have to kick the ball from the the zone which is the marama zone then its obvious you have to kick it to your team mates then you are trying to score anyway your team is”. “So when we were first talking about us teachers thinking about what to do for maori rotations on fridays I wanted to do something sporty I knew a very little about Ki-o-rahi from Mrs Vaafusuaga and she took a really good team up north for a competition and so I only knew a really little about it. Then it was Mrs Tito Who actually taught and sent me links on how to play Ki-o-rahi so it was basicly I didn’t discover it on my own and so my friends Ms Vaafusuaga and Mrs tito teached me and,my uncle google”.  

How you Score

Paragraph 3:

The ways to score is to either touch the pou or hit the tupu. If you are the team defending the tupu then the only way you can score a point or more is to touch the pou as many times you can. But if you get tagged while getting the pou then you lose all your points and it is a handover. The way to score is if you have touched the pou and get into the Te Wairua zone. Now if you are the opposite team you have to try make the ball hit the tupu in the Pawhero zone (The one in the middle) but there are two people defending the tupu.

Conclusion:

That is how people play and also some tips. There are the facts of Ki-o-rahi with the legend...

Justify The Building Of The Titanic

Life In Minecraft

Imagine that some kid was playing minecraft overnight and alakazam, the whole world was pixilated and turned into MINECRAFT Now you would have to chop trees,get armour and wurst verse mobs. You would have to survive everything go to kill the enderdragon and mine. I would love to be in minecraft and have awesome skins and names play hide & seek mutant Zombies, WITHERS (only available  in mods).

Different Modes

There are many modes like survival, creative and hardcore. In survival mode you only have a limit of lives. You have to go walking around looking for things like armor for protection, animals for food and building supplies for a house. The kind of building supplies you need are wood planks if you are looking to build a house out of wood. In creative you have everything you could get in minecraft. Hardcore is just like survival but your life drops faster and you get hungry faster.

Mods

There are so many different mods like Mutant, gun range lucky block and a lot more if you ever want mods just go to Mods for Minecraft. My favorite mod is lucky block because you mine blocks and things come out of it. It could be good or bad. The good things are sometimes in chests like a diamond and gold pickaxe to destroy the blocks faster , diamond and gold armor to protect you from BOB,BOB is a zombie a deadly zombie who has full diamond armour and a enchanted diamond sword. You can get traps like where you trapped in obsidian and have to escape with ender pearls There is  lucky armour, lucky bows & swords.

Conclusion

If you could ever get the chance to live in a minecraft world would you?
