Camping at Marahau.

 Camping in Marahau.

This school trip is going to be great, we are going to be doing so many things.

I wish we could camp in tents all the time, but it is more fair if someone else also wants to camp.

Something we are going to be doing at camp is kayaking, making S’mores and hiking.

Marahau is going to be the best camp ever!

I am very excited for this camp and kayaking.

The plant stall went from $3 to $2 and then $1 and that was pretty good, because it was crowded. Cow pat bingo made $300.

The bouncy castle was $8 and last year it was $7. 

At the plant stall most of the plants were sold by lunchtime.

The Treasure Trove was good, because lots of things were 50 cents, 10 cents, and 20 cents and it was very full of people

The cow in Cow Pat Bingo when it got released it basically poops instantly.

The Bouncy Castle were shorter than last year.

There were lots of people even though it was raining. 

The hot dogs were free at the end of the day, but only for the Ngatimoti kids.

 There was a 3D printed shop where there were 3D printed dragons, spiders and caterpilers, which was good because it was full with people.

        Māori Games

Last Friday, we competed in the Māori games. We only got to play four out of six games, because it started to rain half way through. Some of the games were new, we only knew four out of six, but we got to learn lots of new things. 

The referees were all year sevens and eights learning to help out and understand the games better. They were all really nice and fair and we all really enjoyed it.

 Mr.T came in on Monday. It was so cool, because we made parachutes for eggs.

Quinn's news

                                 BLOG

I got an RC car, a mold control one. Tara got one too and we made some jumps. 

All four of them worked really well and we also started to race. They go really fast. I'm pretty sure they go 30 km/h, which really is fast, it has a speed dial. I made one by myself. It has one of Dad’s Bee keeping things you put in the boxes and I made a jump out of one of them and gravel. Tara won the first race and Iwon the rest of them. We have played three.
