Camp Story's

As we split into two groups peoples teeth starting to chatter with fear. Screams come out of the dark room. Minutes later two men stumble out and say, “Kids that was not scary” sarcastically.

We wander into the dark filled room find our seats, strap on our seatbelts and get prepared for what is to come. We were about to ride the NZ simulator. Tension filled the air as no one knew what was about to happen.

What a surprise when our chairs started rocking back and forth and completely losing the bottom of the chair attachment. We were driving our ute down to the farm. As we went over a bump our chairs completely bounced up and then fell back down. There were girls riding their bikes. Then I realised that it was us riding our bikes because then we crashed and we all nearly flopped out of our chairs. Soon we were sliding down a hill on a sled and we were going fast. Then suddenly another kid comes and rams us from behind. We stop and then fall out of our sled! It felt so real I thought we were actually doing all of that stuff! It made my tummy feel like it had butterflies because we were rocking up down round and round. You literally didn't know where you were going to go next!

Suddenly it came to a halt. Our legs still felt rocky but the ride was over. Everyone was floating out of their seats. We clambered out the door.

That was certainly the best ride I had ever been on but that wasn't all! There was still the underwater submarine simulator to come! As we wandered back to the center, coming out of the other ride everyone was jumping and shouting how great it was but I knew in my head it wasn't going to be as great as the other one!

Firstly we get our seat. We find it relaxing so we put our feet up. It was quite a calming ride. Then suddenly we crashed into the bottom of the ocean but it still wasn't as scary as the NZ ride. We pounded out and stagger back to the centre to meet again. The room filled with excitement as everyone was trying to say how great the ride was and what their favourite bit was.

The rides were quite fun. I wish we could do them again! I think it was an excellent part of the museum because if there are tourists who want to get a taste of New Zealand the NZ simulator is a perfect way!

We all clamber onto the large boat and seat ourselves at the back so we can listen to what the captain has to say ... like the rules! Soon enough we were putting along on the Wellington harbour. We were observing the life around us as we slowly drifted past the city itself. After we were more in the center of the water we were allowed to climb onto the front bow of the boat so that we could look out in front. We pulled in so close to a water #|fountain that it was pouring over top of us. The driver was laughing as all the parents rushed back inside and all the kids were hanging off the side trying to get as much water on them as possible. The boat was large with two wide sides with steps to walk out onto the bow, It had thick black stripes that made the boat look more powerful. We were actually going really slowly but it felt fast. About half way through the cruise all the kids lunged to the captain's wheel. I wanted to go see what all the fuss was about. I arrived there and everyone was in a line to drive. We were going in circles because the fountain had wet the windscreen so they couldn't see where they were going. Damian was sitting in the high seat. Its step was a beer crate so that the little ones could climb onto the tall seat! As we travelled along the waterfront we were amazed at how many people were walking along looking for a place to eat. We glided past the Wagamama, which was the place we were going to eat dinner at. Soon we had seen so many boats in the water that people were dibsing what boats they were going to get. The big rescue boats were my favorite. They were red all over with big life rafts hanging off the side, a small scope at the front to see where the boat was that they needed to help and lots of ropes! It would be very cool if one day we all had a walk around and got to look at all the amazing stuff in there; even better if someone that I knew worked in the boat! It would have been very cool if the boat was going today and it was putting just around the waterfront. In a while we were floating by (the small boat parking lot). There was a bright orange dingy drifting on the top of the water. It was slowly bouncing up and down. Small boats were all around us and we drifted past them all. I was amazed at how many people like to drift around on the water and just scope out the scenery! Soon we were back at the beginning of the harbour. We all zipped out and sprinted over to Wagamama to have a good feed! By Hannah

Bush Writing

I clutched my fist on a tree as it gave me a bit more balance. Suddenly Charlotte came zooming past me. She had lost control and was sprinting down the hill as fast as a calf stuck in number 8 wire. She came to a halt and peered up. She was holding onto Huntah’s leg. As soon as she was back onto her feet we had already come to another steep hill to slide down. There were tall long roots sticking out of the ground; great bits to hold onto. Charlotte and I grabbed onto the roots and slowly crept down like a crab. Tree by tree we made our way to the bottom. Gravel appeared and more sliding was done, following in Jock’s foot prints. Charlotte and I had made it to the bottom. Now the hard bit was getting back up

__ //Tyler and Hannah's science!// __ To find out if worms like to live in different foods! We are creating a large #|worm farm in our Action learning area. We need to know what to feed the worms to keep them healthy. We think the worms will like the tea bags best!

 * #|Aim: **
 * Reason: **
 * Prediction: **
 * Variable #|Table: **
 * Controlled variables || How- || Units Size ||
 * Same amount of bedding || potting mix || 2 cups ||
 * Same amount of food || Citrus bread Paper Tea Bags || 1 cup of each into potting mix ||
 * Same amount of worms || Tiger worms ||  ||
 * Humanity || Water ||  ||
 * Heat || Lid ||  ||
 * Lightness to keep dark. || Lid ||  ||

The independent variable for our experiment? Different foods The dependent variable: How many worms are under the different bedding? Note: We will use a tray and put measured amounts of potting mix and scraps. We thought that they would like the tea bags best but they actually like the paper best! As a result of our investigation we now know that the worms liked the paper best because it was warm and texture was great and it was moist. We thought that the worms would like the citrus a bit because in an acid/alkali test we did they liked to live in the acid and citrus is acid!?? Our results were reliable because we did five tests and they were around the same results. Our experiment was a fair test because we kept all the amounts of food and potting mix the same, also we kept our controlled variables the same except as we used one worm farm. We did not know how many worms were in our worm farm. In our first method it didn’t work since the tray was so small. There was not enough room for the worms to move to an area. We could not put enough worms into the space available. We had to use our big worm farm since there were so many worms in it! We needed fair results so then we realized we needed to put them in a bigger space! We were amazed to see how quickly the worms moved to the food they prefered. After only a couple of minutes we could see worms in the containers. Next time we would use larger containers and make sure the moisture levels were right.
 * Materials **
 * Worm farm
 * 4 small containers
 * Drill
 * Shredded paper
 * Orange
 * Tea leaves
 * Method: **
 * 1) Use a container
 * 2) Divide it into squares
 * 3) Put 2 cups of potting mix and 1 cup of different foods in each square
 * To test results: **
 * 1) Leave overnight.
 * 2) Count how many worms are in each food section.
 * 3) Record this in a table.
 * 4) Test results daily find out how many worms in each section!
 * Modified Method **
 * 1) Remove any food matter from our existing worm farm
 * 2) Gather shredded paper, orange scraps, tea leaves and ..
 * 3) Spread each over 1/4 of existing worm farm.
 * 4) Take each of the 4 containers and drill holes all over them.
 * 5) Sink one into each quarter of the worm farm so that the lip is level with the top of the soil/food.
 * 6) Leave overnight.
 * 7) Count how many worms are in each food section.
 * 8) Record this in a table.
 * 9) Test results daily find out how many worms in each section!

__**Waste Busters' Pinata**__
Mrs Fielder had a really good idea. She had seen Pinatas in Central America and thought we could make really good ones for technology but we all thought that the main point of pinatas is to eat the lollies!

We had to work out what shape would be easiest and what would look good and what a shape would look like! We had to make sure that everyone got a go at doing something! We had to think about what colors go together and what the windows and doors would look like and how the shape would look with paper wrapped around the body of our Broom Broom Car!
 * 1) We needed to achieve a group working together and everyone getting ago at something!
 * 2) We needed to keep the structure.
 * 3) We needed to keep the shape.
 * 4) We needed to keep the decorations colourful.
 * We had to use Cardboard box
 * Paper
 * Cardboard
 * Pens / coloring things
 * We only had 2 more days to decide on what to make
 * We had to think about who can do what and what skills they have to make it
 * We had to make sure it would break and wasn't too soft!

We first were going to do a Globe but the shape was a circle and too difficult to make, The roundness was hard to cut out of the cardboard! We had to make another plan and we all decided that a broom broom car would be easy to make because it is square.

We made a goal to make sure that everyone's decorations were put on and that everyone had an important job to do! We did very well to achieve our goal because everyone colored in a window and a picture!

Our next step is to cover up all the white and do some more decorations and colors and face highlights!

Presentation:
 * We had to make sure that all the colors matched and didn't make the windows and decorations look not very good!
 * Every one's windows and pictures were put on.
 * I like our pinata because it is very colorful, I think our next step is to glue on the windows. ( Bianca )
 * I like our eyes and wheels because they are colorful and each one's different, I think out next step is to maybe do some more face decorations and fix some bits. ( Brooke )
 * I liked our eyes because they were very colorful and I liked the blur around it, I think that our next step is to put in the driver and mouth. ( Tyler )
 * I think that our next step is to do some more face bits, I think that our pinata is great because everyone got to do something! ( Hannah )

= = = Camp Recount 2 = The line swoops out, the hook tingles in the air and the sinker plops into the water with a little splash! "Now we wait," murmured Mike ( DAD). Suddenly the line slipped downwards as if it was wanting to swim! A little nibble and another another till BAM! Mike ( DAD) tugged and jerked and reeled and ...an exciting Exciting EXCITING piece of seaweed! Again the white line slips through the air with the sound SPLOSH! The line swings out many times but it's just seaweed! "How much gear have we lost?" Dan asked. "Well depends on how much you think lots is!" Finally Ian pulls in 2 blue cod. Their slimy scales twitch as Ian picks him up by the gills! "Ahhhh!" screams Ian. Plonk! We all look down at the fish jumping and struggling to get back up! Here comes a towel! I wrap the towel around his tail and body and carefully carry him back to the sink at the lodge to EAT! NEXT DAY! We all attempt for another ! The sound of 'clip clap' prepares me for what's next! The line flies out and lands flat in the water! The line slowly tightens and a fish suddenly flaps in the air ! "Quickly Ben!" shouts David. Ben dragged a fish in the whole time! When the fish reached land it flipped and flopped on the rocks! We gathered round and again another fish came in. "It's different!" Mike shouts. "It's a Perch!" " Ohhhhh not an eating one!" We keep fishing until it's time to go back. We packed up all our gear and I took one fish and James took the other. We plonked them in the sink and soon enough they got FRIED! Suddenly ... flap! flap! I heard a it from a distance! "Dad!" I yelled, "Can you please hurry and cook the fish!" He got right onto it. "Hopefully Boysie likes fish," I muttered!

Camp Recount 1 It was over whelming as we stumbled upon the lodge, Birds flying above and their wings spread and soaring over our heads. All different species; Wekas, Kakas, Pukeko and Takahe. The Wekas and Pukeko and Takahe all stumbled on the ground but the Kaka have all the trees to themselves. When yo'rer not looking, a Kaka will pounce on you and sit on your head as if it was nesting on my head for the first time. Their claws dig into your arm like a hook in a fish. The tail feathers hang out the back off your head just like a bird hat. And last of all the beak pecks at the bread. Slowly its reaches further and further till suddenly it grabs the bread and pulls itself back up. It was amazing to see all the different types of birds. It was funny because in the morning you would wake up and see all the birds would be up. Any time we were eating the birds were there but when we weren't there they would go and nest in the tip top of the trees! When we were eating the birds would come and hope for food AND FOOD THEY GOT! Zahn The birds swarmed around him, and suddenly he walked out the door and heaps of birds landed on him as if he were a run way for a plane! He chewed with his mouth open and a bird peered inside his mouth and come out with food! Zahn got the message to chew with his mouth closed. All the little juniors screech as a bird perches on their shoulder! As a bird perched on MY shoulder a sense of calmness released from my brain. My mind made me screech out loud "Ahhh" When I walked into my tent a Weka came sprinting out. It was nesting on our beds. Luckily it had not pooped anywhere. I think that it liked our messy room; in other words (pig sty)! It was brown with sharp claws and a pointy beak and feet that run like crazy. The Kakas were my favourite bird of the whole time we were on KAPITI ISLAND!

 * "Boom" as the sound of the smoke grenade filled the air with colour. The purple and red set the back round for our picture. **
 * We scurry to the next activity. We walked trough the small opening of the camouflage tent. Suddenly we munched on some chocolate and some cream and sugar mixed together. **
 * "Mmmmm," Logan sighs as the goodness of the chocolate over takes us. " Yummy" we all screech. Then we start to ask some questions. **
 * " What type of guns do you use?" **
 * " Well most of the time we use pistols" **
 * " Do you only mainly eat chocolate for your energy" **
 * "Yes. It gives us the most energy." **
 * Next activity,we go and shovel on some army disguise; in other words make up for camouflage. Once we had got ready for the running race we sprinted our hearts out. **
 * Soon we had a lolly scramble and watched. Then back up and said our thank yous and our goodbyes. **

 * My eys feel like dead dears meat when we hide away trying to sneak past the croud to get ready to worm up our voices i jump with heaps of excited nerves.

I looked at the details in the picture

I divided my page into sections to make it easier to draw

I used a thesaurus to find more interesting words

I looked at the details and noticed the intricacies

I watched then tried e.g. golf

I thought before I acted

I observed closely and compared my work with others

We used a Kowhai tree as the prize for lotto. That goes with our school emphasis on sustainability

I looked at everyone who got a first certificate and learnt from them

I kept trying and built my confidence. Now I want to do more

If people were polite we wanted to be polite back

I helped look after the little kids to help their parents

I respected others e.g. let others go first in the line || I shudder as i walk on a preper to amaze the croud with my voice. Brooke and i get ready to walk on but the light is to blinding so i feel my way in! i stand there for about 2 mins waiting for the music to come on. When we walk of i get back into the line for when the Rock swans go on and do there amazing dance. when we heard our que we where all geting butterflys so we all flutered on and made ourself comfortable!
