Anna - This year was probably the most interesting year I've had, first I'll talk about term 1. When I first arrived at tawaint I looked around the class and saw the chinchilla's Cotton and Chocolate. A few weeks later Chocolate died and Cotton stayed with me for the holidays then Miss Warren (my teacher) said I should keep Cotton because she was happy, she now lives with me.

In term 2 we got introduced to the game of dodgeball..... lets just say I did'nt enjoy it at the most :) .In class once we've all done quite a lot of work we play a game of silent ball. Eventually we had the dodgeball tournament..... and we lost :(

In term 3 Mr Rickard and Mrs Stuart annonced in the hall that 16 people in the whole school have the chance to go to Japan. Then after weeks of waiting I finally got told that I was going to Japan that was definitely my highlight of the year.

In term 4 Nucombe ball was the main game we started playing and soon there was another tournament. It was great because we won the first game but then we lost and we also did production and our country was Turkey.

Oriana - Production: This year, term 4 we had a amazing and fun production called, The Silk Road. I was a

Turkish dancer and i was also in poly club. I had a whole lot of fun, but dressing up really fast got quite annoying. The lights in my face was really bright but I enjoyed looking at the crowd. I really can't wait until the next Tawa Intermediate production, I wonder what it's going to be called.

Dahlia - This year I have really enjoyed production because it has made me more confident in front of people. I have also enjoyed meeting new wonderful friends that will never be forgotten. I will never forget all these funny memories and all the dramas in class. All these memories they will always be cherished in my heart. The high light of the year for me would probably have to be having the best teacher ever. She is like a angel sent down from god. On the last day of school it will be very sad and hard to let go of all these people that I love.

Christian - This year I got a class merit because i was being kind to people and helping people that where stuck on things. It was a great year here at room 10, Kakapo syndicate with great teachers, who are very kind to the students but when they have to they will be serious and will be ready to teach. The Spec classes are really good the teachers there are very good at teaching. I mean I sucked at art and when I went to art spec I came out alot better.

Connor - This year I have enjoyed inter class sport and p.e and especially making new friends. This year we only won one inter class sport and came second to last in the class of the year. The best inter class sport was the nucomball as we beat Rm2.

The hardest thing this year was algebra but was a good learning experience. Our class are really good friends and I will miss all of them. One of the most hard things this year was production as we had to practise everyday lately during p.e and it paid off and we looked great in the production.

Miriama - I have enjoyed so many things this year but my part in the production has to be the best. I was a angry teenager called Stevie Thompson and had to memorise many lines but it was worth it. We had five performances and worked really hard and I'm proud of my achievement.

Next would be the web competition. Which I did with Caleb, we worked really well together and hope to come out on top in the end. The competition is to redesign the school's website the winner gets a choclate fountain for 8 to celebrate.

Shania - hello I'm going to to do like a book review the year so of course like any book there are its ups and downs just like this year so now I'm going to start now. Now for the good the top five moments this year:

1) when Oscar got hit in the head with the door that made every laugh

2) when Connor said "what do English people speak?' that was also funny

3)When AJ said"Can I hear myself when I speak?" but really my class is very smart, like when a girl called Courtney she said this really smart thing and the whole class was speechless, that was number 4 and last is when my friend Charlotte got hit in the head by a net ball now that was so funny.

The best thing about this yeah is metting all of my friends.

Madeline - 5 great things about this year

1.when Oscar [a boy in my class] got hit in the face by the door.

2.The chinchillas, Chocolate and Cotton.

3.When we bet Room2 in the Nucken ball tournament.

4.And then lost against Room12

5. When I got into Drama Academy and got to be in production!

Emma - This year I enjoyed the free response weeks which we did every term except term 4 because we were busy with production. I loved having the chinchillas they were so cute and fluffy. Some funny things that happened were when Oscar had to stand outside the door and then Daniel opened the door and Oscar got hit in the head with it! Another was when Connor asked Miss Warren "what language do English people speak?"

Sam - This year my class was interesting, awesome and amazing because the teacher is really cool. In class most of the kids are nice and I have made new friends. I liked doing the magazine this term. I can't wait

for next year for more fun with Miss Warren and the year 7s next year.

Nixon - This year I have enjoyed making new friends and playing inter class sports but the highlight of the year would be playing nucumball and at least winning one game. I am going to miss my old friends, also known as yr8's in my class.

Charlotte - This year I have enjoyed P.E it was cool when we had free time and we got a netball. I also liked the pool trip it was really awesome but it was hot. I really liked it when we won against room 2 in the interclas sports for nucomball. I liked the fun run with the cool costumes. Some people did like 15 laps but I only got 10 laps.

2011-12-11T16:44:00.001+13:00

Daniel - This year has been very enjoyable. Some of my favourite things that have happened this year are: The pools trip, it was a really enjoyable treat after a long term of swimming laps. The production, even though the endless production practices got tiring the production turned out really well in the end.

I learned about alot of new things like Turkey, which we studied as part of our globalisation topic in the first half of the year. I also enjoyed learning German which we carried on from last year.

I enjoyed this year and learnt alot and I am ready for college.

Zac - This year in room 10 has been the best school year I have been through. I have loved all the team building games we have done through out the school year .Kakapo syndicate is alright at sport but we have

not won any of the inter-class competitions.I really have liked this year and I can`twait to be a year 8 next year.

Next year I want to do more team building games.We have been on lots of fun trips with the syndicate, to the pools and to the national archives. I have done all the spec classes and my favourite one by far
was foods. I have got the best teacher in the school miss warren.

Tayla - This year was a bunch of drama and experiences:

me and Anna going on the japan exchange, Caleb and others going on the rock band comp, Oriana, Dahlia, Feicia, Nikki going on the swiss exchange and other poly thing. In class we have a game every half hour if we deserve it, and winning a game for the inter class sports was definetly a highlight. Next year going to the college is nerve racking and down here in room10 nothing but support from Miss and class mates. Also this year our new
syndicate is pretty fun, with pe and production being the best ever for our syndicate. i've enjoyed this year in room10 making heaps of new friends.

Caleb - Some of the things I have enjoyed this year are: working on the computers, Doing the competition for the tawa int website with Miriama and Daniel it was great fun even if we dont win. I also enjoyed doing basic facts as I did very well in getting my basic facts and mental comp merit, class trips (pools).

But most importantly I enjoyed meeting all then year 7s this year which I am so sad to leave. Over all I think this year was awesome!!!

Nikki - This year Tawa intermediate had an Asia themed production. It was called "The Silk Road", 2011. It started on the 29th and went on for three days. My syndicate, Kakapo had the country "Turkey". I was an Anzac. The

other students were "Girl Turkish Dancers", "Boy Turkish Dancers", and "Trojans". We were the first syndicate to preform. We started to get ready at 6:00. Everybody was very excited to be at school at night, maybe a little too excited. But the three days went by and every one was very tired on Friday, ecspacially the teachers.

Flynn - Room 10 a place where learning is fun, where learning goals are fulfilled. We play games, relax and talk. We have a sort of relaxed learning environment where learning is first priority but in a really fun way. In maths we have been doing more hands on activities. In literacy we have been discussing things as a group allowing the quiet

people to talk and share opinions, make friends and become more confident. This year our class has been great. We had a few problems across the year but throughout the year we got over them and started having fun. Team building has been a big part in our class bonding and we have done that really well. The highlight of the year was probably when Daniel smashed Oscar in the face in the door. Oscar in general making mistakes was funny and when Connor and Pledger had a confrontation made all the drama spectacular. This year has been really fun but the year 8's including me need to get prepared for college and get ready for a harder longer style of learning.

2011-12-11T16:37:00.001+13:00

Courtney - This term our school has done a production which is called 'THE SILK ROAD'. Heaps of parents went to it. Tawa Intermediate invited some primary schools to watch the show. In the 'THE SILK ROAD' I am an ANZAC and I run the boat. It was really fun. In P.E. we have been doing nucumball when ROOM 10 (my class) played our first round we won against room 2. It was awesome because we have not won anything. xox courtney williamson xox

Ben - This year I have enjoyed inter class sport, especially when we won nucumball and the funny thing is that we only won when Miss Warren wasn't there. I have enjoyed the spec, mostly foods because we get to eat the food afterwards.

Jayden & Oscar - This year I enjoyed playing nucumball. We won our first inter inter class game. In the end we lost to Room 12. Sadly Room 12 got to the finals and they were vs room 14 and they lost to room 14.

This year we have been doing maths like all the other classes.The Moebius group have been doing complicated maths including year 10 algebra! We also have been doing reading,writing and topic. The worst topic of the year was puberty, it was disturbing.

In term 1 Miss warren was away for 3 weeks and we had Mr G.When Miss Warren came back she got us presents from Germany. With the left over money we sponsored Amado Togo, a child from Mali.

This term we did production it was sort of fun.There was 4 acts the first act was the Greeks, then Turkish girls danced then the Turkish boys danced and the final act was the Anzacs. We had to perform 3 nights and we had to perform for primary kids too.

Felicia - This year Tawa Intermediate has put on a production "The Silk Road". The theme was Asian countries. My syndicate Kakapo had Turkey. There were Turkish dancers (male and female), Trojans and Anzacs . I was a Anzac, of course the most best part to be in the production. We had the production for three nights. It was a lot of fun. And on all the three nights were really packed. I was also in Poly Club. So I had to get change into 2 costumes. It was really ANNOYING ! But I made it through so thank god!

Well that was my highlight of the year .

Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.

Sarah - First we'll go back to the date 1st of February 2011, the day started with a little class reunion. The previous yr8s are at college, the yr7s are now yr8s and there are new yr7s. Through the months there were plenty of mishaps and events like shared lunch and talent shows and quizzes, (not to mention a river of silent ball and an ocean of nucumball!). Yr8s had vacinations for diseases and infectons. after a hop,skip and a big jump later we return to today and this maybe the greatest year ever. -s.k.

Nikisha - This year I have enjoyed playing nucomball and I really like the team building we do. And this year you might have been hearing about the production, production was bit of a pain but we all had to do it. And now it's nearly the end of the year and we are going to have a end of year party, the whole class is doing it so I hope it will be fun. And this week we are having a talent show the last talent show that we did was at March or something and I won but I just got a white chocolate bar and it was broken but oh well at lest I got a chocolate bar.

So my highlight of the year, mmm well I know my funniest highlight is when Oscar got hit in the head haaa the whole class was laughing even Mrs Warren. I'm laughing right now hahahahaha.

So now its nearly the end of the year and it has been an AMAZING year and I hope to have AMAZING year next year to.

MacDougall Award

2011-09-28T10:57:00.006+13:00

The Macdougall award is about creative writing and display. Mr Macdougall was a teacher who loved creative writing and getting the best presentation out of his students. The award was set up because in 1984 Mr Macdougall suddenly died of cancer.

My entry was about the beach:
As the sun shines it reflects off the water and shows itself upon the sand. You splash around like its the lost and found until you hurt your hand. You can look for shells and get nipped by crabs, you can laugh and play all day. It's just a thing about that makes us want to smile.

self defence...

2011-09-08T13:39:00.002+12:00

Being in self defence class is really fun! you get to learn more new defence moves and
at the same time work with people you just met, its quiet crazy and awesome at the same time.
I loved how we were building up are confidence by shouting out the words "NO", "STOP" and
"GO AWAY "!! The best thing that i liked in self defence class was punching the punching bags!
The things that i thought was more important to find out was: Yell very loud so that someone could hear you, never show fear to the attacker and always be ready!! All yr 7s that dont want to do self defence next year i suggest you should its very fun and you will enjoy it!!

Fengol

2011-08-21T11:20:00.001+12:00

This week I read the following description to the students. They then had to draw what they thought the planet Fengol looked like. Attached are some of their pictures.

Fengol is a planet deep in outer space. It is a strange planet and is very different from earth. It is always very dark on Fengol because black clouds hide the sun. Although it is never sunny it is very warm because the rocks on Fengol are very hot. You can fry an egg on them.

Fengol has many rivers. These rivers are very wide and very slow. The river water is pure but it is very hot - too hot for fish or plants. Fengol has many thick forests. The trees are all very tall. They have red leaves. Many of the strange animals on Fengol live in the tree tops. Some animals are very dangerous. The atmosphere on Fengol is poisonous for humans.

Our Moon

2011-08-10T09:55:00.004+12:00

I float out to the moon so cold lonely and sad
if only he had a friend, someone to joke with
all the stars are a million miles away they don't understand him now he's alone
forever only seeing his friend the sun, on the day of the eclipse and that comes rarely
his sadness, all pride lost wallowing in self pity "why me?"
Alone for the rest of his long lonely life the earth stops him as he tries to make friends
now he's given up
just watching from the side line as the other planets enjoy each other's company
self esteem's gone, the moon the lone wolf, the last man standing
if only a second chance was given to end of billions of years of sorrow
even if the chance to turn back the clock came he would never be the same but
it won't come
if only he knew
we need him
we love him
Our moon

Oriana's poem to chocolate

2011-06-21T09:52:00.003+12:00

Dear Chocolate the first day you came you were cute and cuddly but still no name.
As I hold you close to me smooth and soft heaven is all I see.
The death of chocolate was my worse fear but now that you're gone I wanna burst into tears!!
I never imagined that this day would be real, for all you that cried I know how you feel!!
What we do we do for you we will always remember you

In loving memories of

Chocolate

Chocolate the Chinchilla ! ♥

2011-06-21T09:14:00.004+12:00

Chocolate is a boy chinchilla.
He runs, he walks and he ALWAYS sleeps !
When I hold him close to me, my day warms up brighter and stronger.
When he's hot, he gets red ears.
Once you put him in his cage, he drops down on his side and sleeps.
This morning when I found out Chocolate passed away, my heart felt like dropping.
I am really going to miss you Chocolate !
I LOVE YOU CHOCOLATE ! ♥♥♥
RIP: CHOCOLATE !

This week the students have been reviewing how they can improve our class by thinking about how their behaviour and attitude impacts on others. These are the questions they have been answering:

Managing Self
Am I in class at 8.30? Do I come straight back to class after SPEC and interval/lunch?

Do I fess up when I am in the wrong? Do I go out in silent ball when I should?
Do I have pens, pencils etc? Is my desk tidy and my work filed?
Do I have the right shoes and gear and wear it properly?

2011-05-25T11:31:00.001+12:00

On Tuesday 24th of May 2011 Tawa Intermediate school had Cross Country. It was a really fun event in which every one took part, apart from a couple of people who had sore legs and didn`t run. Everyone got sent off with their year groups: year7 girls, year7 boys, year8 girls and year8 boys.

Room 10

2011-05-10T09:23:00.002+12:00

It's 8:27. This is me walking up the stairs in my way to the classroom being as lazy as I can be.
Silence is all you hear but the squeaky noise from the stairs one after another.

Here i am . I made it !
"Hi Miss Warren." I say as I enter the room.
"Good morning Felicia." she replied.
Just a light movement of my body made me feel so cold. But im used to it. It's like refreshing air.
"Nikki, Oriana. HI." I say as i hug them .
"Where's Dahlia and Courtney ?" I ask .
"They're in the back room with the chinchilla's."
"Oh cool."
I turn around and all I see is Tayla's arms out wide ready for me to hug her.

All you hear is everyone talking to each other and welcoming each and every one the class mates. This is what I like about Room 10. I have friends who care about me and a teacher that welcomes me and a class that is soo KOOL !
If I were to choose my own class. I would definetly choose Room 10 with Miss Warren as our teacher !

Oberammergau

2011-04-13T16:51:00.003+12:00

This week I have been to a pretty village in the Alps called Oberammergau. The village is famous for its religious passion plays that the people put on once every 10 years. It is also famous for the painted houses. All around the village there are houses with fairy tales painted on the sides. Have a look at the slide show for some telling the story of Hansel and Gretel.

Term one week 10

2011-04-13T15:55:00.002+12:00

This is our second week with Mr Geismar. One more week to go before the end of term and everyone is starting to get tired from the long eleven week term. We made fire extinguishers with co2.

If you go down to the woods today ...

2011-04-07T23:00:00.002+12:00

In the Nymphenburg Park, just behind where I am staying, if you are very quiet you might see some local wildlife. Like a black squirrel.

Or a red squirrel.

Deer,

crazy ducks,

sleepy owls

and even big toads.

Neuschwanstein Castle

2011-04-05T23:00:00.001+12:00

Neuschwanstein Castle was built by the lonely, fairy tale King Ludwig II of Bavaria in the 1800s. He built it high in the mountains so he could escape from the politics in Munich. When he died he wanted the castle to be destroyed so no-one could see it. Only 6 weeks after his death and the castle was open to the public. It is the most amazing man made structure I have ever seen. This picture was taken from a bridge about half a km away.

This is the view of Hohenschwangau Castle from Neuschwanstein Castle. It was built by Ludwig's father and is very beautiful itself but nothing compared to Neuschwanstein.

This is the view of the lakes and mountains from Neuschwanstein Castle itself. You can see why Ludwig loved it so much.

Week eight term two

2011-04-03T08:26:00.003+12:00

This is our first week with Miss warren away in Germany. We have Mr Geismar (the science teacher) teaching us for three weeks. He is really fun just like Miss Warren. Our class is coping well and people are behaving for Mr G. We have done science and did the classic baking soda and vinegar experiment.

Learning lots of lessons

2011-04-01T05:39:00.000+13:00

It is easy sometimes to coast, to go with the flow and let things happen around you without really taking part. That is what I have found myself doing this week. My reading and understanding of spoken German is pretty good but talking German is what I find really difficult. And guess what they want you to do in a German class? Speak German! And only German. So I sit and look down when the teacher asks a question that I can't answer and I let others answer. I got bored really quickly and found myself thinking about how much longer I had to be there. Who would have thought? Miss Warren is a passive learner, what will Mr Rickard say?

So today I made a decision to get stuck in, answer as many questions as I could, guess at others and just have a go. I got some wrong but I also got loads right. No one appears to think I am dumb and it is so much more fun! I am really enjoying my classes now although having to concentrate for 4 hours, listening to the teacher speak a different language is really hard. But now I have chosen a better attitude (an A) it is a lot easier. Mr Westphall will be proud of me.

Munich photos to follow, can't upload right now.

Miss Warren goes to school

2011-03-30T03:30:00.000+13:00

Today was my first day back in class as a student. There are 12 of us in the class and we all sat in different parts of the classroom. I wasn't nervous but some of the others looked really scared. There is a really annoying Russian student in the class who talks over the teacher and interrupts other people when they are giving their answers. It is difficult for me not to tell her to be quiet. First off the teacher gave us numbers and we had to find partners with the same number. Some people didn't want to move away from students they already knew. I didn't mind because I know the teacher knows best about how I learn. 2 of the people snuck back to seat by each other in the middle of the activity and then whispered to each other when the teacher was talking and when other people were giving answers. It really put me off and I kept wishing the teacher would do something about it. Then we had to sit a test. The teacher said it was just for him to know what to teach us (I am not making this up) but I wanted to beat everybody else so I guessed some of my answers until I remembered what he said and so I crossed out those answers. The teacher is really nice but I sit as quietly as I can and hope he doesn't ask me a question because I don't want to look dumb.

Blimey, is this what it is like to be a student? Hmm, lots to think about!

Guten Tag

Ich bin in Munchen! It is spring here and warm and sunny. I start school tomorrow which is very exciting. I shall be a great student, kind to others and answering questions as best I can. I am living near the Schloss Nymphenburg which is a huge palace and park. It is very beautiful and I am going to try to visit everyday. Photo is below. I went for my first Bavarian meal yesterday and it came delivered in it's own little truck. I had to take a picture secretly as I didn't want to offend anyone. I think I would like to have all my meals delivered in a little truck like this.

In my life there is a family, there is a brother and in him there is a dark as night soul, and the most horrible most discusting thing to me is ... um well being mean to me.

In my life there is a thing called sport and that sport is the most extraordanairy... net-ball, hockey and last but never the less is ... soft-ball which is the fastest game in whole wide world ( I know it is not).

The job I want in ten years from now is either volunteering for the S.P.C.A or at the university in wellington, but my life long dream is working as a teacher at T.I.S my inspiration is teaching kids and giving kids a bright future, I love animals and kids

My hobbies are well .. I am writing a book and that is really my hobby for now and the book is called DON'T READ ME!!! it is about me and my life and like what I am doing right now, the past the present and the future to come

The film that I have watched the most times would probably Matilda but that is not my favourite movie is the blind side it is about well... I don;t want to tell you because I don't want to spoil the end.

One of the most excruciating, annoying things would be my ridiculous brother. All he does is shout his unimaginable things at his wild Ben 10 characters making sounds and shouting something like swampfire or terraspin.(What a nutter he is). He runs round the house like a jet that's just got caught on fire and the only good thing is when he goes to bed some peace!

The job I would like to have in ten years would be the high flying super sonic Air force. Preferably I would be flying the thunderous helicopters for RNZAF but the training looks like a monsoon wave of hardness, but I'm hoping as I get older I wont think its so hard.

My favourite extreme absolute ice cream flavour would be the mouth watering cookies and cream tasty... I would mostly pick that flavour everytime its so good. But the soft chocolate cookies would come out top. They're so nice and they give you a good amount of cookies tasty!

Week 2

2011-02-12T14:12:00.001+13:00

This week we have continued our setting up of class rules and routines. The students have written a job description for me, a behaviour code for themselves and how they want me to manage them. Across the school we have been working on restorative justice systems which identify the results of students making poor choices and how they can repair the damage caused. In room 10 we reviewed our class rules with this in mind and talked about some strategies students could use to help them avoid breaking rules and what to do if they make mistakes. We aim to keep small problems small by being honest about our actions and putting things right (this includes me as well).

By way of getting to know each other we have been making some movies by taking 33 high speed photographs and then importing them into movie maker. Here we have Flynn and Oscars movies. Watch out for more to follow!

Caitlins Camp Reflection

2010-12-09T10:00:00.006+13:00

Last week my class and I went to Masterton for camp. When we arrived Iwent in the bus to my first activity which was cave and flying fox. I enjoyed the cave heeps because it is something I have never done before where as I have rode loads of flying foxes before but it was still awesome. The next day I made a bivvy and went for a bike ride to plant a tree.The bike ride was fun but planting a tree and making the bivvy was a bit boring. On the third day I went for a massive tramp it took aproxamately 5-6 hours I have never walked so much in my life. I didnt think I would finish it but it got easier and I did. On the last day I went rock climbing and on the ropes course they were both really cool and I would do them again. After that we all walked to the train station and were on our way home over all camp was great fun and I wish it could of been longer.

Camp

Before we left for camp I was a bit nervous,
I had never been on camp for that long but I'm
happy I went it was a great experience.

One of my favourite times was building the bivouac,
it was very fun to built.
But my absolutely favourite part was the flying fox,
it was so thrilling especially the start and going across
the river.

But sadly every story has an end.

Maddy's camp

2010-12-09T09:40:00.003+13:00

Last week my class,Room 3 went on a camp to Masterton for 4 days.we all meet at Wellington station at 7 30-8 am,I had to have an early start in the morning.On the first day we had to get a bus out to the caves and flying fox(it wasn't a long bus ride).I like the flying fox so much i went on twice but i didn't enjoy the caves so much though.The tents were cool because I have never slept in a tent over night before so it was a good experience.On day 2 we had to move camp sites but it was only 5 min away so we just walked.That night we were bivving so half of us went on a bike ride and the other half made our bivvys.I was building my bivvy first,I made it with Patricia,Nikki,Bridgetand I.It was quite hard but it got easier after awhile.Our bivvy also won of the best girls bivvy.It was bike ride time I got my bike and helmet and waited till we will head off.I was off,it was a bumpy ride at first but then it got easier.Suddenly my chain fell off so i went slower and slower,so i had to stop and get my bike fixed so I was way behind,Icaught up though.When we got there I found out we have to plant a tree which sounded boring and it was boring.We headed back on our bikes which it felt longer than the way there.In the bivvys at night for sleep i hd a better sleep in the there than in the tents.On day 3 when i woke up i wasn't very excited because we had to do a long 5 hour tramp=( but luckily we got to go to the pool at night.We started the long tramp it wasn't tiring a first but then it got more tiring up the hills,after the first hour I didn't get tired as easy.We got to the end and I finally made it yay.We got back to camp and had a rest and got dinner before we went to the pools.The bus came to pick us up to take us to the pools.We had a really fun time at the pool, after the pool we got to go across the road to the park that was also fun.We headed back to the camp and got ready for bed but we didn't go to bed yet though.On day 4 it was our last day of camp,sad but happy at the same time.We had high ropes and low ropes first then we had rock climbing,we walked to the rope courses because it was 5 min away.The low ropes were really fun but when we got to the high ropes I was freaked out but in the end I did it,the best part was the flying fox at the end.We walked back and went to rock climbing and that was really fun my favorite part was the swing which is you are attached to a long rope and you jump off a platform and you swing and it is fun.We finally went to the train station to get on a train to go to wellinton(home) I was home and got to see my family again.

On the 29th of November our syndicate went to camp for 3 nights. I enjoyed the swings and rock climbing and I liked tramping up the hill and the bike riding. And I planted a cabbage tree and we enjoyed camp. by Suraj Maisuria

I found Camp really fun and I thought it was a great expereince to work with the year 7's and work as a team. My favourite activities were the swing and the flying fox.

I also thought caving was very interesting because I've never been caving and it was really dark.

I was trying really hard on the tramp because I'm not it to exercise that much and I had a good time with my friends.

Last week our class went on camp and it was a great experience. We did a lot of activities and I did everything. Even though I am scared of heights I did high ropes and flying fox. The down side to camp was I didn't get a lot of sleep. I did pretty well in biking as I came fourth out of all the boys. The pools were a bit disappointing because the water slide broke but over all it was a good week.

last week i went on camp. on the first day we did the flying fox and caving .the year 8s did the flying fox first .i was 3rd down the flying fox ,at the start your stomach starts to turns.then we did the the caves. the caves were fun but a bit scary at times .
the second day we made our bevies and went on a bike ride to plant a tree.the girls got to built their bevies first because we won a competition. after the boys got bake from planting their tree.we went and planted our trees .We planted two each and then we named them on the way back it was harder than the way there because we had to ride up all the hill.
On the third day we went on a day tramp up mount holds worth we went to rocky lookout but it was only 12:00 so we went to a shelter .On the way back it was easier for some people than others.We had to go over lots of roots .
On the last day we did the high and the low ropes .The year 8s did the low ropes first we had to get all the year 8s through a large tyre. then the year 8s did the high ropes .They were more fun then the low ropes.Then we got on the bus and went to go rock climbing. the rock climbing was not really fun and that's the end of camp

On the 28th of November I went to camp. When I got off the train I felt a breeze of hot air and I couldn't wait to get to my first activity. When I got to the flying fox I got butterflies in my tummy but I couldn't wait to do it.
It was the same for most activities, first I would have butterflies then when I started doing it I didn't want to stop.
The thing I enjoyed the most was the high ropes (I think I was meant to live up in the trees) and the thing I disliked the most was the caving because I don't like squeezing into small places. My overall experience of camp was fun and I pushed myself to do stuff I normally wouldn't do.

I enjoyed camp and thought it was a great experience. I enjoyed the high ropes
and swing. I also liked the train ride to Masterton because I havn't been on a long train ride before. I missed my parents but not too much. The were cool because I found them challenge and thought it was cool being so high in the trees.

8 days ago on November 29 we went to camp. We started with the flying fox. I went near the end because I was a bit scared but once I went I was happy.
That was when my fun began.

Even though I had a fear of heights, I did the scary stuff. I went up the high ropes, the rock-climbing walls and I went down on the swing. My parents are proud of what I and I am too. If I never did that stuff I would regret it.

The 5 hour walk was tiring. My feet hurt for ages.
When I left camp I knew I would miss it. I was happy to go and I knew I wouldn't forget it.
