Year 6 Camp Bentzon

Introduction

Wow you will never guess where the year sixes went to. Well on Tuesday the 17th of November we went to kawau island. When I first saw the island I knew I was going to have an awesome time.

P1

After that we had to talk with Peter and Erin for some instructions then after that we had to go for a really long hike it was like we weren’t aloud to stop. We had to go to this beach we stayed there for about an hour then we went back and had a little bit of free time to do our cabins and the cabin I was in was the letter W then we had dinner then went to bed.

P2

When we first woke up we had to go for this steep as run which is called killer hill. I was so tired I felt like I was going to faint But did not because I called smell the delicious food So I made it.Then after that we had breakfast for breakfast we had baked beans and spaghetti on toast That was hot food for cold food we had peaches weetbix,cornflakes and rice bubbles. After breakfast we were going to start our activities.

P3

When we went to our first activity it was called find the clues what you had to do was find the letters then when you find all of the letters you have to spell words out of them and we just finished when it was morning tea time for morning tea we had three biscuits and a piece of fruit.

P4

When we finished having tea we had our next activity it was kayaking it was so fun but it was funny because Adriel kept falling in the water and billy too and the we played kayak tiggy to play you had to tag the back of their kayak after that we went to the pontoon and had to hang on to each others kayak and try to switch kayaks.

P5

My favorite part was booming and swimming but my most favorite part was the concert because we got to do our dance and we came 2nd and I won two chocolates and a lollipop it was awesome and amazing.

The silly and revolting weetbix and cream game

Introduction

Wow have you ever played the creamy weetbix game well early this morning the year fives and sixes played the creamy weetbix game but actually you can make up your own name for this game. When we started to eat it was so disgusting I didn’t want to eat it but I had to so I did. ‘’Go’’ said my partner you can do this so I never gave up.  

How to play

Here are some tips about playing the game you need four boys and four girls to start the game of you can do 3 or more rounds and if you like you could play the game with pieces of fruit or other kinds of food and last but not least you need plates so about eight of plain colored plates that’s and I almost forgot you need whip cream and weetbix.

My funniest part

For me my funniest part was when my partner was shoving the creamy weetbix in my mouth. It was even mixed with an apple it was revolting but i had lot’s and lot’s of fun with all of my classmates it was so awesome.     

What the creamy weetbix taste like

The creamy weetbix tasted like spue it was revolting and yuck because once I eat the creamy weetbix with an apple I felt so sick I just wanted to go home but know I didn’t give up so I was trying my hardest to get it down my mouth but I couldn’t so I spat it out in the rubbish bin.

conclusion how you felt

I felt sick like I was going to spue but I didn’t I just keep going to try my best. When you mix something that doesn’t go together that means it’s just really really gross it’s like mixing chips with tomato sauce it’s disgusting that’s why you never mix yummy food with revolting food

Other interesting facts

If you could you can even make up your own gross and yummy game.Have a try and this is only if you want to you can even write about how you felt and what it was like. But do not try the creamy weetbix.

Holiday Highlight writing

Wow you will never guess what I did in the holidays. On friday after the last day of school me and my family went to tenpin bowling it was so cool we played a lot of games at the academy. We even got to play the actual game of bowling that was the coolest day ever and it was even my first time in a long time to play a game of bowling it was awesome because BK was right next to tenpin bowling that was the start of my holiday.    

Then On Saturday It was my cousin's birthday. Her theme was frozen and the birthday girl was dressed up as elsa her birthday was so awesome because there was a candy bar that was filled with delicious lollies and last but not less there was a dessert bar with a chocolate fountain. After a few minutes we had to eat the food was so great I couldn't stop eating after we eat we played some games they were pass the passles but the best game was that you had to make your own olaf out of a person and when I got my goody bag I filled my bag up with lollies. After that we all settled down and watched descendants the movie night was so amazing then we all had a good night sleep.

The next day was Sunday so I woke up and I started to get a chill so I had a warm hot shower to get ready to go to the beach. My aunt Kelly and her kids came over we had lunch and it was fish and chips. After that we had to rest our stomachs to get ready to play some games like relays and the group that had built the best castles would win a whole block of chocolate and the losers just win lollies. That Sunday was cool I wish I could do that again.

After we had something to eat we went back to my cousins house when we got there we played a game of 123 you're in with me all of her friends friends came over and played a game with us that was the best birthday party my cousin has ever had.

The last thing we did between my holiday was going to the pools the G.I pools though it was kind of boring going to the G.I because we always have to come to the G.I pools nearly every day but my best was enjoying the slippery slide but they would only do it in the holidays some time they don’t after a few minutes we had to have lunch then settle our stomachs then jump back in the pool. That was the last thing I did in my holiday

In the holidays hope I'm going to do a lot more things like going out and having lot’s of fun with my friends and family and I wish to do a lot of fun things to.

Grass to Glass part 2

Walt: Add detail to the beginning of sentences.

As soon as the milk comes out out of the cow is gets cooled. Then when the farmer comes and picks up the milk it goes to the dairy milk factory. When he finishes he measures how much the milk was, so then he pays the farmer.

So that we can make different types of milk. The cream and milk are separated and the milk you can make are blue milk and green milk there is hardly any milk in the green bottle and there is heaps in the blue bottle. That’s the kind of milk you can make.

As the milk is boiling in the machine .Bacteria is killed by pasteurisation the milk. That’s what keeps the milk nice and healthy and by boiling the milk it kills the germs that are in the machine. 072 degrees Celsius which can burn you. So we don’t put the germ in the milk the farmers put on hair caps and white gumboots and plastic bags to go over you gumboots.

Finally the milk goes into bottles for you guy to buy and drink.

Now you know where you glass of milk comes from.

Living on a farm

Growing up on a farm the country may be fun but it can also be hard work.

We have been looking at dairy farming in New Zealand and people use machines and the machines produce milk.

                                                               Riding a Horse

Riding a horse would be amazing but I have never been on a horse before I’ve been looking at people riding them and It just looks so fun If I was Riding on a horse then that would be my first and if I had one wish that I could ride any animal that would be a horse.

                                           Feeding the calves

If I was living on a farm it would be fun to feed and take care of the calves if I feed them I wouldn't get the milk off their mum because she has to be milked that’s why they drink  milk powder for the calves to drink that’s why I would live on a farm.   

                               

Why wasn’t I born in the country? After school there would be so many things to do like feeding calves, chickens and pigs, and riding bikes and horses. I think country kids are very lucky!

My basketball writing

“Hey there” have you ever played basketball at your school before? Well at my school my coach Yaran teaches us “Skills and” how to play basketball.

First you need to warm up,we played octoboss it was lots of fun if you get tagged then you turn into seaweed then

you have to try and get more people to be in with you but your goal is to get them all out

The next lesson  was how to do a chest pass. When you do a chest pass you need to have you hands on your chest then you throw the ball to your partner you have to try get 60 passes in thirty seconds. If you get 60 passes in thirty seconds then you have to sit up and fold your arms so you can get points for you and your partner.

In basketball what I am looking forward to next time if

that we have more lessons to learn and that we can have a lot more fun playing games and the thing I liked about basketball was when we all played golden child.

There were two teams one team was running and the other team was shooting the ball in the hoop. The team that is running have to try and make it around the hall before the other team gets the ball in the hoop when te ball gets in the hoop we all yell out “STOP!”

After the storm

Beginning they were collecting pine cones

Middle they found a den and in the den was pine cones and a kitten skull.

End they had a  fire that’s why they were collecting pine cones.

 and I have drawn a photo with my sentence.

In the Beginning

In the beginning. There was darkness. then a twitch and a curl started to appear that's how the world began.

kutai fritter

Have you ever eaten a kutai fritters there a type of mussel fritter that you can eat the only way you can get kutai is when the king tide comes in. Have you ever heard of a kete it is a type of Maori bag that you can make out of flax.

My blindfold game writing

Have you ever played blindfold games before? We played blindfold games and it was fun. The game involved rice, safety pins,blindfolds and a bowl. There were 20 safety pins in the bowl of rice lucky they weren't pins you hang on the wall because you would have poked yourself and that would hurt. I was nervous. Some people have never played blindfold games before so if you have not played blindfold games here's how you play them.

The way to play this game is that you need to get in a semicircle then Miss Lavakula needs to set one minute on the timer.  all of the kids in room 8 had turns because miss L

avakula called out six names to start of then you need to get 6 bowl of rice and 20 safety pins and six blindfold too then you can start the game.

first you had to start off with 6 kids and the first 6 to start were Andrew, Jonathan, Machelle, Tavake, and Montel they were the first ones to get some safety pins out of the bowl after they had finished Miss Lavakula had to get there score of  pins to see who had got the most so one of them could get a prize from Miss Lavakula.

These are all of the safety pins that they got. Andrew got 14 pins, Jonathan got zero, Michelle got two, Tavake got one and Montel got one too everyone in room 8 were very excited to play the blindfold game they were excited because they just couldn't wait for their turn that why they were excited and happy.   

I felt happy excited, the reason why I was excited was that every body had a good and great time what I’m looking forward to next time is  fun games and the pins were hard to find because they just felt like rice that’s why I was just pulling all of the rice out of the bowl that’s how I got 14 safety pins out of the bowl.
