Haiku
Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my Haiku. A Haiku is a poem that has 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line and 5 again in the last line. You can do as many verses as you like in it but you still have to stick to the syllable rule. by the way a syllable is the sounds of the letters that make up the word. An example of syllables are Is a bell a I have 4 syllables in my name but people with the name like Leo only have one. I will now show you my poem.

Top Team
Hi, In this blog post I will be telling you about top team. Friday of week 6 term 4 a group of people from Top Team came to our school and set out mini games and challenges that where run by volunteers from our school. We got into teams based on our camp activity groups and got handed a peace of paper to show us where we where going.
The first activity that we did was one where we where versing another team and we had a cut open pipe and a ball about the size of a tennis ball. We had to get the ball into a bucket down the other end of the line as many times as we could rolling the ball down the pipes with out dropping the ball and with out using you hands.
Then we did an activity against another team but this time we had a sling shot, bean bags, a bucket and our hands. 3 people when down one end and used the sling shot well the rest of the group went down the other end and tried to catch the flying bean bags and put them in the bucket.
We then moved on to our least favourite activity. There was a big peace of red fabric and blue fabric. They looked like huge hair ties except a lot wider and less thick. We had to get in them and try to move them down to the other end and back as many times as possible with out touching the ground with our feat or our hands and if you did then you had to restart.
Then we moved on to a fun game. It was a big game of noughts and crosses. There was a big fabric board with squares so it looked like what you would use to play noughts and crosses. You where then given big X's or O's and had to race them into the spots that you wanted them to go before the other team. It was quite fun.
Then we did a game that we where not so good at. We where given hula hopes and we had to throw them and try to get them on poles to get points. We had no luck with the game but we laughed a lot and had fun.
We then went to one of our favourite games. There was a big peace of fabric with squares on it like the noughts and crosses board. We lined up and had to try to find the secret path hidden on it by trying to step on different squares. If you got the right square then you got to try again and continue the path but if you got it wrong then you had to go to the back of the line and the person behind you had to continue on from where you where.
Then we moved onto building towers. We had to build the tallest tower that we could using blocks. It was fun but I really wanted to go to the water activates. We had to try to build the tallest tower out of all the groups that had been before us.
Finely the time had come for us to do the water activities. The first one was where we had to block holes in a pipe and pore water down it and try to get a tennis ball to the top. It was fun but I kept getting spayed in the face.
The second one was called Water Bus. You had to fill up a container and then tip it directly behind you into the other persons container. I got water dumped on me by my friend Tremaine. Here is the link to his blog.
We then moved onto a dry activity. It was one where you and 3 other people had to go into a blue sack and try to get it down to the other end and then swap and the other four people got in. You had to try to do that as many times as possible. We where ok at that one but we needed a lot more practise.
Then we moved on to an activity that we where quite good at. You had to put your feat into strips of fabric that where attached to large ski like pieces of wood. You had one foot on one piece of wood and one on the other piece of wood. Then you had to move with the other people in the group to get down to the other end of the line and get the last person over the finish line before the other teem.
The last one that we did was one where we had 4 mini mazes that two people had to carry each. We also had a ping pong ball and we had to get the ball through the maze to a hole at the end and then drop it down into the other persons maze until you reached a bucket you then had to get the ball in the bucket and start going down the other way.
Over all the day was soooo fun and I hope I get to do it again. Have you done Top Team?

Sport
Hi, welcome to my blog. Today I will be sharing with you what I did for sport every Thursday for 2 weeks. The school deiced to let the hubs have a try at 4 different types of sport.
cricket
lawn bowls
Korfball
soft ball
Two of these sports I had never played or herd of. Can you guess which ones? ( lawn bowls and korfball). I was most excited to play lawn bowls because I wanted to try it out and it sounded fun to me. My home base did cricket first tho. I found it kinda fun but I had a hard time bowling and hitting the ball. Then we did korfball. I found that korfball was actually really fun. it was like a mix of net ball and basket ball with some of its own rules. Next I did lawn bowls. It was super fun and I really want to do it again. The first thing we did was that the instituter taught us how to bowl the ball . Then we played a little game. For the game we where split into two teems. The purple teem and the green teem. ( I was on the green teem) then we took turns to bowl the ball and try to get it in a hula hoop. ( 5 hula hoop where set out in the middle of a circle that my home base made) Then once one teem had bowled the balls the other teem had to try to knock the balls out of the hula hoops to stop the other teem getting points. Then we got into teems of 3 or 4 and did some activity's with the balls. I have not done soft ball yet but will update this post when I have. Over all I found the sports amazing and I hope we get to do it again.

Tough kids
Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about Tough kids. Wednesday of term 4 week 6 my hub and the year 3,4 hub did Tough kids. It was soooooo fun. When I got off the bus I was over whelmed by the amount of effort that went into the event and by the amount of kids that had dressed up and where doing the run. The obstacles along the run where fun to do as well. The first one was a bunch of tiers that you had to climb over, then it was a ramp made out of foam that you and to go up and jump down from. The next obstacle was a big tree stump in the road that you had to climb up and over, then there was a bouncy castle that you had to go through, then there was a mase where you had to step over or go under ropes and over a fence. We then did the mud obstacles. The first obstacle that we did that had mud was a net. You had to craw under it in the mud. Then you ran for a bit before having to crawl under a bridge. ( In mud ). You then ran over the bridge to get to the first water obstacle. It was very fun. There was a roped of area where you had to wade through the water. Me and my friend where so conscious of getting wet but by the second time we did the obstacle ( we had to do it twice ) we where soaked. Then finely we got to the water slide. Because me and my friend did not want to get any more wet then we already where we tried to skip it, but the fire men sprayed us with a hose until we did it. There was also a bouncy castle obstacle coarse but it was too crowed so we had to skip it. By the end of the run I was tired and was quite proud of my self when I got back to school. I really hope that I get to do it again . Have you done this event or something like this before or are you going to?

Attitude
Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about Attitude!!!!
Attitude came to talk to us about puberty - and the effects it has our bodies as we get toward being a teenager. For example we may get pimples on our faces and mood swings which are triggered by hormones. A girls body will change and they will grow breasts, pubic hair and get their period. A boys body changes and they get a deeper voice, pubic hair and they will become more muscular. Something else I learned is that in puberty you will have a lot of growth spurts - first your hands and feet grow, the the rest of your body.The guy form attitude was quite funny and made a lot of jokes which helped the lesson be less awkward. This is the logo from Attitude

Camp Term 4
Hi, welcome to my blog. Today I will be sharing with you my experience from camp. We went to Wainui camp YMCA Powell village, week 3 of term 4 and it was so fun. The activities we did were: Coastairing, Kayaking, High Ropes, Outdoor Living, Search and Rescue , Archery, Orienteering and School Led Actives.
My favourite part of the trip was spending time with my friends outside of school and getting to try out things that I had never done before. I really enjoyed all the activities but my favourite was kayaking even though the water was freezing, and I was dying to get warm again. My second favourite would have to be the rest of them because they where all so fun to do, and I hope I get the chance to do them again.
Something I learnt was that a lot things may seen easy but they can be almost impossible. I found this out on the high ropes when I tried to climb a large wooden ladder with the gaps in between the rungs getting bigger and bigger, and it got harder and harder to climb. I also found this out belaying at high ropes because it is quite hard to always keep tension on the rope without giving the climber a wedge. So next time I will definitely pay more attention to the rope and how much tension I am putting on the rope.
Something that I found challenging was sleeping because I kept getting woken up at 4:00 and 4:53 so I found it hard to get back to sleep. It was also hard to get to sleep in the first place because most people were talking. I found Archery challenging as well because it was very hard to even hit the target and most of the time I had terrible aim and my arrow plunged into the hay. I think that I need a lot more practise in Archery.
Something I am grateful for is the camp instructors and parents volunteering so that we could have a safe and enjoyable camp. I am also grateful for the experiences that I could have and that my school can help us to have good experiences . I am truly thankful that I could go to camp . I really hope that in the future I can go to Wainui YMCA camp again and have as much fun as I had this time.
