Year 5 and 6 Camp Recount

Task description: A few weeks ago we had year 5 and 6 camp on our school field. This week for writing we had to create a recount about our camp experience. Check out my camp experience below:

Two weeks ago we had year five and six camp. We stayed at school for 3 days and two nights. We had it on our school field because where would we sleep in the classrooms? 

Our first activity was cooking. We were making scones. They were crumbly and powdery from the flour when we made them. After cooking we had morning tea under the marquee. 

After that we quietly walked to the hall. My team leader told us the rules about the hall. Then I jumped on the trampoline and body slammed onto the mats. I also went on a scooter and played table tennis. 

Finally we had Killer Zone. For Killer Zone we had to verse Tui, we were team Canada and the other team was USA. We had to do teamwork and the first thing we did was make the board go across the river. It was kind of frustrating because some people touched the river and we got penalty points. 

The last thing we did on day one was watch a movie. We watched Over the Moon in room 9 and 10. I did not like this movie because it was kind of old and I have watched it many times. I did try and zip my mouth so that I didn’t spoil it for anyone else. 

On day two the first thing we did was go kayaking. We had to get dressed with our togs underneath our clothes and it was really wet and cold. I had rice bubbles for breakfast because I don’t like wheat-bix even though I tried it before and said I liked it. 

Next we played a game called cyclo-ball and I did not want to play it because the seats were too tall. I can only ride if the seat is short. 

Then we went to the slip and slide and I only went one time because the grass was kind of muddy. I also didn’t like it because it was boring. So I went to get changed and Miss Parrant said I could take photos. Nu Nu and Zohidah went to get changed into warm clothes too. 

Finally we had a camp concert and we could do one more practice for our dance before it started. We went to the marquee and then we went to the hall and sat down in my line. When it started it went all quiet. The first team to dance was Piwakawaka. The group that won the dance competition was Weka. 

I had so much fun at camp and I can’t wait to go to camp next year.

Yesterday  I went to school but it was not a  Ordinary day at school because it was a beach day .So I went int0 my class and got my chairs down . Got my hat on and bag we went to the mat. Some others  just got here after  a while the bell rang so we made two lines outside. One for room 10 one for room9 . We made our way to the assembly and sat down.  Mr Burt told us a few     things before we went to the beach, like we cannot touch the Weet-Bix TRYathlon stuff  because they have it on Sunday . First team  five went to the beach first because they’re at the back. They walked over to the beach and  in front of team 5 was Mr Burt . When they were ready  team 4  walked  to the beach which  meant I had to walk to the beach  as well.then  all the teams had already arrived  .  Mr said that in  15 minutes  team 5 can swim . All Teams were separated. My class went to put our bags down. I asked my teacher if we could play and she said  I think so  I was waiting for my mum but I never saw her but I saw her car. Thank you guys for reading my story. You want to read parts of my next writing at the end. enough

 

School Camp Fun

This week for reading we have been learning all about camp and what its like to sleep in tent. We have been learning to make connections with what we already know and what we are reading. School Camp Fun is an article about a girl named Siobhan who was going on a school camp. For this task we had to make connections with our own camping experiences and the experiences that Siobhan had at her school camp.
