5 Top Tips for Year 6 Camp at Kawau Island!

Top tip 1: When you get onto the ferry hold onto your hat all else it will fall off board. That happens to loads of people but it will maybe (%5) land on top of the edge of this white thing?  If you are wondering why that happens, well because people play and swing their hat around. Plus when the boat goes very fast there is a whole lot of wind and water. SO just WATCH OUT!

Top tip 2: Once you get at the campsite start stretching and all that stuff because you will have to walk up killer mountain. It is so steep! At first you think it’s easy so you run but don’t because it's actually really tiring. Soon we reach our destination. Take a break and don’t play around (if you want to) because you will have to walk back the hill. 

Top tip  3: At times at camp we will have to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. Come early to line up and sit up so your team can go first. Also, smile! :D If you don’t know what time to come then ask your teacher then they will tell you the time. Just for a bonus

Top tip 4: Whenever you do water activities please listen or also something will happen (it will also be LOL). If there is something like “Tilar to the sail!” then do it because some boats tipped over and people fell out. Hehe! Peter, Erin (the people you will meet if you are going to the year 6 camp next year), Mr Somerville and Mr Goodwin do most of the water activities. 

Top tip  5:At night you might play in the spotlight. Don’t bring a torch or else Mr J will make you stand up and he will take it (but he will give it back). Lso stay close to the deck because you need to get back in time and watch out for little Wekas in the bushes. You will get into mega trouble.

“With these Top 5 tips you will have a great camp and there will be no problems. Tell your friends so that they won’t annoy you and so they won’t have a mental breakdown”.

 

Hello everyone, it's me Finau and this is my writing task for today. This week we went back to our normal classes. Yep, no room 678 but sometimes we will be that. Anyways I had to write 5 top tips fro camp. These are for the year 5s going camp next year. I Hop you enjoy my maths task. Please leave a positive  comment on my blog. Bye!

Art Alive Extension artwork

Hey everyone, it's me Finau and this is my art work for Extension. Let me tell you about what my art is about and what it represents. 

The background represents where I am raised in, New Zealand. The same goes for the big tall mountain. There are a lot of mountains in New Zealand and I only climbed up 2. The tree with the Pohutukawas all over is something we have in New Zealand. I just love the Pohutukawas and there is some in my neighbourhood. The slippers on the sand have the New Zealand Flag on it. Lots of our clothing in New Zealand have stuff about NZ like kiwis or the flag and much more. The waka (boat) has a Tongan pattern on it. That represents my Tongan culture because the pattern,  just like the one up in the sky (in the picture). It is called a Manulua and Tokelau Feletoa. The Kiwi hiding in the bushes is a native bird to New Zealand. The flower it has on its ear is a Heilala flower. That is a special flower in Tonga.  Finally Bernard the bee. It was a popular toy back then in New Zealand but it still is (maybe).

I hope you enjoy my artwork and description. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Bye!
