The Fantastic Week 11

This week has been incredible. The year 6's were sent to camp and all the year 5's and 4's stayed, while they were gone we practiced kapa haka and athletics. It was quieter without the year 6's, we saw them in photos and were they were.They were at a napier prison observing and exploring, also they went to white pine bush and the napier pā (village). They went to the arataki honey factory and got some honey and a thick strip of beeswax which they used to make a beeswax candle.

When they were going to sleep, they went to their cabins which they shared with a buddy or two. I'm sure they were having lots of fun at camp as it was expensive, it was two hundred dollars per student. For breakfast they would eat weet-bix or peanut butter on toast, and for lunch they would have a brownie or a muffin and an apple or an orange. They were at camp for about four days.

In the end they came back at around 7:30 and everything was back to normal, when we did our hakas and waitas they were louder and stronger, which was great as it was going to be the kapa haka festival soon, it was great with the year 6's back. Camp was done for them but not for the year 4's and 5's, I can't wait to go to camp because it sounds very fun.

Cross country

It was the day we had cross country and I was pumped. I was waiting for my race.  First the year sixes went they were really swift, they zoomed past the finish line.

Then the year fives went, my friend Ben was a year five so he went. When he ran I was proud of him. After a long time of waiting it was my turn to race I was excited, then it was time to race.

First I got ready then I was off, zooming across the course. I was running with excitement, but was it enough to keep me going I thought, I was half way through so I had a jog and I ran with Jackson, "Wait up." sighed Jackson.  We were going out of the sand and onto the grass. everyone cheered, "Go, go, go!"  It gave me courage to keep on going. Also Jackson's parents were cheering too,"Go Jackson!"said his parents with glee.  I was extremely close to the finish line, I was almost there.  Jackson said we should run down the big dip, we were exhausted so we jogged to Koka Terri and then we ran down a dip. We were at the finish line and it was time to do lap two, I was tired so I walked.  Jackson was catching up with me, we were going very fast to the finish line, we could smell it. 

Finally we made it and finished it I was extremely exhausted.

The end.
