A Trip To Howick Historical Village

Last Friday I went with my class and my teacher to Howick Historical Village. We made butter in a churn. We put cream in the churn and we turned the handle. We sang a song and everybody had a turn. We put it on a cracker and ate it with the butter. Then we played parlour games called "Pass The Ring".

Carey Park Camp 2016

On Monday 17th October, the Senior syndicate went to camp. The location was in Carey Park, in West Auckland. We stayed at Carey Park for three days and two nights. My favourite activity was archery and air rifle. This activity was split into boys and girls. We did the archery first, and the girls did the air rifles. Mr Oliver taught us the safety rules first. Two of the safety rules were when you have finished shooting three arrows put your bow down and before you go grab three arrows you need to wait until Mr. Oliver says it is clear. When it was my turn I was afraid because I might injure someone or even kill. The good news was nobody got hurt or killed.

Camp Fun Camp

Last week Monday the Year 5s and year 6s went to Carey Park in the western part of Auckland. We went there for camp, and we also had some teachers and parent helpers. We stayed there for three days. In those three days we did ten activities. They were  all very fun. I personally think the flying fox was the best one, because it was the most stimulating. Kayaking, shooting, rogaining, and crate staking were very nice and fun, too.
We had lots of different cabin groups and activity groups. All the activity groups needed to be rotated around. The cabins looked very similar to a cottage, a modern cottage not the same as I thought before camp.
We ate many delicious foods, such as butter chicken, fish and salad, etc. When we went to the camp fire, we baked some marshmallows. They were so squishy and sweet.
After that, we went to the Burma Trail where you had to cover your eyes and go forward with three or four people in a team, following the rope. Then you went deep into the bush which was only full of darkness. If you lost the rope, and you couldn't see anything you would probably get lost. There was always some adult trying to scare you, but they didn't scare me anyway!
We went back to school on Wednesday and I really didn't want to go back to school.

Guy Fawkes Night

Last Saturday it was Guy Fawkes night. We had fireworks in my garden. The neighbour came to my fireworks. I held a sparkler in my hand. I enjoyed the firework. It was fun.
