Camp Bentzon

Dear future campers, Camp Bentzon is the most fun thing about being year 6 because you get to go on Camp and also you don't get to stay at school and do work. When you go to Camp Bentzon, you will see there is heaps and heaps of activities to play and do. This is camp is pretty much about facing your fears. The group names are Bentzon, Mansion, Kawau, and Katz. Here are some 5 Top Tips about Camp Bentzon.

First Tip: “Killer Hill” When you go hiking on Killer Hill, you will need to wear the right shoes and also you would need a water bottle so you don't die out there. WHen you get to Kawau Island/ Camp Bentzon, you will need to be prepared for the 1 two 2 hour hike on Killer Hill. “Killer Hill” is the most hardest thing on Camp Bentzon and it would not be your favourite thing about Camp Bentzon I bet. As soon as you hit that hill you will already be dying out there because the hill is so huge, yes you would be dying out there, especially your legs and your legs only. I recommend you should take my advice and you should take your water bottle on that hill…….

Second Tip: Camp Bentzon has heaps of mosquitoes there so you have to watch out or they will probably bite you and you will have bad mosquito bites on you. And I will 5 Top Tips for you. “Killer Hill” When we go to camp, the teachers told all of the kids take we are going to walk up a Big Hill. Camp Bentzon is one of the best Camp’s that anyone has ever been on you get to have so much fun and to be honest this is one of the best camps to let all of your energy out and to have fun. Also to remember not to feed the Wekas and Wallabies because our human food isn't good for them.

3rd Tip: When you wake up in the morning to make sure that you have your running shoes and running gear on because you would get really hot when you run and you might even get tired, because when you run it going to be really hot and sweaty. When you look down you would see something that looks like rasines don't pick it up because it would be wallaby poop so make sure you don't pick it up. So I hope you liked my tips and I hope I helped you.

4th Tip: When you play spot light, you will need to wear all black possible and also you will need to be very quiet. If you about to play spotlight, make sure to hide in a good dark spot so the people that are in can't find you and you will be the winner. At Camp Bentzon, all of the students/campers played spotlight with the parent helpers and teachers, before we played we had to go to our cabins and we had to change into black clothes. When we finished getting changed, Mr Jacobson gave us some instructions, we didn't play the normal spot light we played a different one and its played like this. Before you get spotted, you will need to be at the deck before you get spotted, we played 5 games of spot light. Just remember if your gonna play spot light, you will need to wear a lot of black possible and also you will need to hide in a good dark spot.

5th Tip: If you go on a Ferry Ride, Before you go on a Ferry Ride, you will need to wear the right shoes which is closed shoes and also your shoelaces will need to be tied up really tight so you do not trip over. If your wearing a hat on the Ferry, you will need to hold it really tight because I lost my hat on the Ferry, because it was so so windy. So remember just to hold your hat tight and also have your shoelaces tight, last but not least, do not run on the Ferry.

Conclusion: My favourite part about Camp Bentzon was, the Volleyball court and also the swings. The Volleyball court was my first favourite part because I played it every morning and also I can learn more things about Volleyball. Second of all, the swings were my second favourite because the swing really really high and also they are really long.

Athletics Recount.

                Athletics Day Recount 

Last week on Friday the 7th of November, Pt England School got to go and do Athletics. On Friday before we came to school, all of the students had to bring their clothes that are the same colour as their house colour. The house colour I was in was Hine-Moana which stands for blue, and the other colours were Hikianalia, Te-Aurere and Hokulea.

When we got to the courts, Miss Va’afusuaga sent the classes to where they were going to play their game first and the year 6 girls we went to go play dodge ball first down at the reserve. When we got to the reserve where dodgeball was held, we had to sit in two straight lines, and then Miss Rimona put two of the house colours together so it was fair and equal. The team Hine Moana was with was Hikianalia which is the yellow team, and the team that was with Hokulea was Te Aurere which stands for the red team.

When we got to the sprints, Mr Burt got us to get in two even lines so he could pick the first five/eight people who could run first. Before Mr Burt got Five/Eight people to run, Mr Burt Gave us some entructions so we can know where we are running. First we had to run to the yellow cones which is 75 meters run, as soon as we all ran two times, Mr Burt said it was time for the 100 Meter run, so we all got into a lane but we had to make it even so we can all have a turn. When all of the year 6 girls got into a lane, Mr Burt said first group stand up and he said on your marks set and then he used the clapping tool so we know when to run.

Conclusion: My favourite part about Athletics day was, The Sprints, High Jump and Discuss. Sprints was my favourite because I love to run and it's also good to run. Exercise is one of the best that can help your health and body, that's why I prefer thats all of use reading this should do exercise mostly everyday.
