Kawau Island/ Yr 6 Camp!

Walt: write a recount about a personal experience. Organise our ideas into a series of paragraphs.

On the 21st of November the year 6’s went to Kawau Island. Some parents came and helped organise camp. It was HILARIOUS and also FUN! My group was call Bentzon.

The first activity that my group did was Sailing and it was sooooo fun. Junior, Petesa, Grace and I went on a Sailboat alone and the others went together in doubles. Mr Goodwin called me “Captain Trendy”, the other activities that we did was Concorse, Burma, Abseiling. Those activities were FANTASTIC!

On our arrival at Kawau Island the first thing that we did was the boys did a little Haka. Then we got off the ferry and we took all the luggage on to the deck at Kawau Island. Then we grabbed our day bag and started to walk up the Killer Hill. We were all exhausted from doing the hike.

The 3 activities that we did last was Kayaking, Bivouac and Rafting. Bivouac was my favourite activity on that day but my actual favourite activity was Sailing because I was not only the best sailor but when I pulled the rope it made the boat go faster.

I would really like to thank all the helper’s and also to my aunty and uncle, the bus drivers, the ferry driver, Mr Burt and Peter & Erin. I would really like to thank Peter & Erin because they let Pt England go to Kawau Island.

I really enjoyed playing Spotlight because when we played Spotlight my uncle got Justice and then he heard me (i was up in a tree) but he never caught me and I couldn’t go to the deck in time because he was being very sneaky. I learnt that Abseiling isn’t that scary, all you have to do is relax because Jayden the guy that was holding you isn’t gonna let you go.

Task Description: We went to Kawau Island and had lots of fun. we came back and had to write about camp so when we grow older we will think about camp and we would wanna read about how fun camp was.

Athletics Thank You!

WALT: Write with a specific audience in mind.

Dear Helpers, I would like to say thank you for organizing the Athletics day because you guys set up all the equipment without our help. You have been the best helper’s that I have ever had.

Athletics day was tiring and also fun at the same time because we were all having fun and not worrying about if we lose or if we win. I was having so much fun that I kept dancing to the music and not paying attention to the teachers.  

My favourite part was doing all the obstacles and also I really liked the way people said they couldn’t do it but they still tried and participated in athletics. We all participated in athletics and that’s all that matters.  

Next year I really hope that I get better at some obstacles because I did fail in some parts but at least I tried to do it. I really hope that all of us at Pt England School and I mean EVERYONE, like the teachers.   

I enjoyed doing athletics and actually participated and my favourite obstacle was running because I love running now. I learnt to never give up on stuff you think you can’t do or that you’ve never tried.

Task Description:

On Friday we had athletics day and it was AWESOME! We had to write thank you for the helper's and organisers for organising the athletics day.

Manaiakalani Film Festival :)

Walt: Write with a specific audience in mind.

Dear all the organizers and helpers that came to the Manaiakalani Film Festival, I would like to thank all of you guys for helping set up the movie’s so we could watch it at the cinemas. I would really like to thank every helper that helped.

The Manaiakalani was Fantastic because I got to see some movies that were hilarious, cool and all kind of other stuff. We even got to see some from St Patrick's School, their movie’s were mostly about earth. We went to the cinemas to watch most of the movies, it was big and dark.

My favourite part was watching the movies because it was really entertaining to watch movies from our school and other schools. Everyone made a movie that had to do with something but my favourite out of all the movies is “Journey To Awesomeness” because my brother and cousin’s were in it.  

Next year I have a plan on what to do for the movie, I was thinking maybe we could do a “Reverse” movie. That would be satisfying. Watching people pick up something off the ground without touching it, it looks like they have “Superpowers” but they actually don’t but it would look really cool if we did do a movie about Reverse stuff.

I really enjoyed watching movies and I also learnt that earth is more important than anything in the world so look after earth because if there was no earth we wouldn’t even be here. Also Thank you so much to the helper’s and organizer's for setting up this amazing event.

Task Description: We wrote about the Manaiakalani film festival, and it was great fun when we got there. we got to see a lot of movies and they were FABULOUS!

Limericks!

WALT: Write our own Limericks.

Task Description: we wrote about what a limerick is and if you don't well it's like a poem but just silly and it doesn't really have to make sense.
