Wainui Heights Camp

On the first day of Term 2 after the April holidays from the 30th of April to the 2nd of May I went on camp with the Year Six children from my class and Room 20 to YMCA Wainui Heights. Some of the things we did were kayaking, abseiling, raft building and we had a camp fire. My highlight from camp was singing all the songs around the camp fire and kayaking. Here are two pieces of writing about camp.

Remember When

Remember When.... I went kayaking and I got really wet because water kept seeping into my kayak because of the little holes in it.

Remember When… we went raft building and not a lot of people knew how to tie knots as we had never done it before.

That was my 2018 camp to Wainui Heights.

Remember When… I went abseiling and I went up really fast since I love to climb and I’m not afraid of heights.

Remember When… we did the self led activity and we were in a bush and Liam slid down the mud when he was climbing up the hill.

That was my 2018 camp to Wainui Heights.

Remember When… we were at the campfire singing songs until it was nearly 8:00 pm, then we had to leave.

Do you Remember When… we were on the bus on the way home and lots of people fell asleep although it was bumpy.

That was my 2018 camp to Wainui Heights.

Camp Challenge

I heard...
The waves slowly creeping towards the shore as we were talking about safety issues.

I heard...
Lots of paddles hitting the water as we were following Matthias around the corner.

I saw...
Everyone slowly getting the hang of things as they glided through the water.

I felt...
The cold icy water trickling down the paddle onto my already freezing hands.

I felt...
My arms becoming exhausted as we were coming to the end of the session.

I wondered...
If I would ever catch up with everyone else to get back to shore as I was not that fast.

I wondered...
If I would ever do anything like that again in my life, as I really enjoyed it.
