Year 8 Camp 2012

“ Camp Already “ I said as I woke up to excitement . It was a great day to go camp . The only concerns was the weather . It was said that it would be showers all week .





“ All aboard “ we entered the bus for a looonng drive  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Finally we arrived , and was pumped to explore the campus . First we enjoyed our selv’s on the playground . 


And then gathered in to be told instruction’s . We collected our gear and placed it in our cabin’s and got ready to go on our “HUUUGE MOUNTAIN WALK !!! “  Jephte , Matthew T , Kaiden and I  , were running down the mountain knowing we could brake a bone , fall down hills , smash into tree’s and cause tremendous damage . But we still did it like Ninjas .

After that 3 hour !!! Bush walk , we got ready for a relaxing swim . Then had a wonderful lunch and dinner then got prepared to watch a movie . After a long day we wet off to bed and had a great night .

On the last day of Camp , we went to Waingaro Hot Springs . It was my favourite part of Camp . There was a pool were we could bomb , and there was a hydro slide . The hydro slide was cool when you had a mat because it would go a lot more faster and you would jump and rock side to side . My face was eager for speed and action and it delivered when i was on the slide . As I went down the slide the water ran fast up my nose and it caused damage to my throat but i was alright .

My Highlight of camp was being together with my friends and sharing great memories and the hydro slide . I wish I could have another camp so we could make new memories !

My Friend Kaiden

This week we have been instructed that we choose one special person to write about , and the person I selected was Kaiden. He has been one of my best friends for a long time.

Kaiden is Incredibly "tall!" for his age and skinny like a tree , and has long lanky legs. His hair is like long grass on his head.  He’s very funny and most of the time looks as lost like a baby.   


In free time , he likes to draw and is very amazing at it. Things he likes to do is play games , play rugby , and hang out with me.  He is very good at fixing things up .  Math is highest intelligences during class time .   Making jokes and listening to music is what he likes to do in boring times. He is also extremely talented in sports . Strategy's are his strong points in a lot of physical activity's!


What I enjoy doing with Kaiden is when he is sleeping at my house because we always make each other laugh and we play a lot games.  We like playing rugby in my back yard and laughing , and riding our bikes.


My friendship with Kaiden is very well balanced. We hardly ever fight or ever argue. We treat each other the way we want to be treated and we have a lot of fun.

Vincent Van Gogh !

Vincent Willem Van Gogh was a dutch painter and in fact the most famous modern painter in history.  He was born in 1853 and brought up in Nearbreda , Netherlands.  

At first , when he started, he had little rocognition.  Vincent had been working in his family buisness for a long time and only sold ONE painting in his life time ! The “Red vineyard at arles.” He worked for his uncle as a art dealer,  and his brother Theo.  



through out the year he died , killing him self  from a gunshoot wound , to his mid section and with his brother Theo along side of him .  His sister in-law decided to sell his painting because she thought it was worthy enough too!  It was then , she was shocked from how many eyes the paintings Vincent Van Gogh painted , attracted people to buy them. One of his painting was sold for over 80 million dollars.  AMAZING!!!



That was the story of Vincent .

Pancakes

Mon-5th-Feb-2012

“PANCAKES!!!”  Yeeas.  For a treat of what room22 did last week(WORK) , Mrs Nua decided that we could make pancakes in the class.  Everyone was so excited !  Even though we are the top of the school , we still love the Delicious taste of pancakes.    We also got the chance of making it our selves!

First off we were instructed to gather in a groups of 4 or 5.  The people in my group were Joe , Charlie , Amos , Havea , and myself .

As time ticked and toked it was finally time to make them.   We got our bowls and all the equipment required for this recipe.  It was even better because we could save time just using the packet of ingredients stored in the box that Mrs Nua payed for.  We poured the ingredients in and with an extra things like chocolate and marshmellows.  

We were already and set to make our pancakes, until..............      “ AHHH WHO TOUCHED THE MARSHMALLOWS !!!? ”  and then my group raised their hands. Mrs Nua said very clearly before we got our ingredients to not touch the marshmallows , but we didn't listen and were forced to make our pancakes last.

After all that fuss it was our turn again.  NEK MINNIT! “BRBRBRBRBRBBRBRBRIIIIIIINNNG.......” the bell rang and we had to make it after morning tea time.

“YEEAASS”  It was time to make them .  This time there was no interruptions and we ate our pancakes like kings.
