Camp !!

Have you ever been on a camp on your school field? Well last week something like that happened on our school field. Year 5’s and 6’s had a School Camp on the School field.

At Camp each student is put in a group. The names of the groups are Matapono E, The Commitments, True crew, Real Dealz and Honest Squad. We we’re given points each time we we’re sitting up, being quick getting our gear and being the best team. I was put in a group called ‘Honest Squad’. My Teacher was Miss Lavakula. The leaders for the team was Rosalina and TJ. We slept in tents. Some tents had three or two people sleeping in there. In my tent i slept with Sulieti and Loseli.

The first Activity that we done was sports. It didn't feel like sport it felt like free time we got to do some table tennis, basketball and roller skating while we were doing that Miss Lavakula played some music. I've got to say it was like Honest Squad hardly made noise while playing sports.

While i was  playing Basketball I saw Sulieti struggling with the roller-skates, she was like hugging the wall and laughing, because she was falling down. I was going to help her up but she was fine she said.

I will tell you the next thing that I enjoyed the most. Well I've got to say but what i enjoyed the most was ‘Kayaking’. So we headed down to the beach in our togs ready for kayaking. It was my first time doing kayaking because last year I didn't  come. We had two year eight boys who were able to demonstrate what we had to do. So I first went on a double Kayak with my friend Loseli. I was in front and she was at the back of the kayak. The person at the back has to do the same thing as the person in the front. I felt like i wanted to go on a single so then we had to get off and let other people on the double. I kept on crashing into other people’s kayak’s

Camp was so fun and i enjoyed all the fun activities that the teachers provided. I look forward on going on another camp.

I also think that I learnt some things during camp.

Duffy Show

WALT:Follow the structure of a recount to produce a piece of writing. 

On Monday Afternoon there was a Duffy Show . It was the first ever Duffy Show for 2015. As soon as the bell went for lunch time to end we went and put our hats away in our trays and lined up again outside. Then we followed our teacher to the hall to watch the show. It took a while to settle and get started because everyone was talking and some of the senior classes came in late.

As soon as everyone was at the Assembly and everyone was settled they started the show. Duffy started the show by walking towards the stage. After that the two other girls came from behind the wall. Then they started to sing the Duffy song, and introduce themselves to all  the students.

The show still continued and it was starting to get stuffy and hot. One of the girls name is Sienna. she acted as a girl who doesn't like to read books. It started raining and Sienna just finished school. She couldn't go in the rain because then she would get soaking wet. She couldn't go in any shops because she needed money to be able to go inside.

Then the other girl named Antonia came from behind the walls and a garden fairy. She told everyone to sing along with her. So we did so.  While we were singing it was time for me to go and do ‘Road Patrols’. So then i went, and that was the end of the Duffy show.

Description: This post is about the Duffy show. Our task was to write a recount and add as much detail as possible.
