Camp Recount

Two days before camp, only for year 5’s and 6’s, the teachers divided everybody into six groups. The teams were Manaaki, Caretakers, Care Bears, Care Squad, Caring and the All Stars. We camp on our school grounds and stay there for 3 days and 2 nights. During camp we do lots of activities such as cooking, kayaking, top town, get lost, rollerblading and a concert on the last night (Thursday).

Two days past and I knew what that meant, it meant that it was the beginning of camp. “WOOHOO!!” I was so excited because I got selected to be a leader for Manaaki. My bags were packed and I was ready to start my second experience on camp. When we arrived at school there were heaps of people already there. I waved to my friends and walked straight to the hall to take my bags there. “BRRRRRRRRRRING!” That was the second bell. The teachers sent us to our activities and our first activity was rollerblading.

Rollerblading is very easy for me because I use to rollerblade at home all the time. All you need to do is keep your balance and glide side to side but not to far out because you will do the splits and it hurts. I went speeding across the breeze, hall, outside, I basically rid everywhere. The siren went and I was interested to see which activity we were doing next. I wanted to do get lost because that is the best game. All the teams went to this big as tent which the teachers called the Marke and got sent to the next rotation.

Sure enough we did get lost for our next activity. Get lost is exactly like the amazing race. You have to find yellow or red stickers on walls. It was so confusing because there were difficult challenges like building Humpty Dumpty together again and taking him to the Tusitala room and looking for other challenges from clues. During the game we had to do gangnam style, sing the national anthem, dress into outrageous costumes and get our faces painted. The siren went off again and my team were so happy as we completed every single task.

Camp was awesome. I felt very happy inside and out throughout camp. The thing that I loved the most at camp was Get lost because it had heaps of challenges and tough clues that we had too inference out. I hope next time for camp... wait there won’t be a next time because I will be a Year 7 next year, but I still have my Camp Bentzon coming up this year in term 4, yaye!

Halloween is celebrated on October 31st and people go out to trick or treat. It was first celebrated in the UK (United Kingdom). Most people like to go out at night and some people don’t even celebrate Halloween.

Like church people they don’t celebrate Halloween they just have lights and a disco. Do you know why? Well people who go to church don’t celebrate Halloween because they think its to praise the devil. But you never know it might be true or not!

There’s a,“Light Side and a Dark Side.” Lemuria is the day to celebrate for Christians. On that day the pagan Romans pour milk on the peoples graves or give them little cakes to call the dead.

Lemuria day was celebrated on the 13th of May. The Christians changed Lemuria day into All Saint’s Day. The Christianised Lemuria was such a success that church leaders made a decision to move All Saint’s day or All Hallows Day to November 1st to drain the life out of pagan Samhain (Selwyn). Because Samhain fell on the night of October 31st before All Hallows Day people used to call it All Hallows Evening. The evening before All Hallows Day. It shortened into All Hallows Even, then finally into Halloween.

Amazing Discovery

This afternoon while my mum and I were cooking steak and eggs, I was cutting the onions, when I discovered something amazing. Not only does my glasses make my eyesight better, it also protects my eyes from crying when I chop onions. I tried it again many times and still couldn't believe it.

My Two Friends And I

Yesterday afternoon my two friends, Collin and Promise, came over to my house to hang out. The three of us were just chilling out the backyard after a hard game of touch. As you can see in the photo I drank a delicious ice-block while Collin and Promise sipped a fizzy drink.

Cooking A Pig

One Friday afternoon my uncle Jon went to Pukekohe farm to purchase a pig. He brang it next door to my uncle Christian’s house. They put the pig in some boiling hot water. Then shaved all its hair off. After they shaved the hair off the pig they took the guts, heart and liver out of the body. Then they rinsed the pig one more time before hanging it upside down to dry. The next morning the pig was taken to a bakery to be cooked. Normally we cook it in an umu but my uncle suggested it is less hassle taking it to professional pork chefs.

Here are some photos of the pig raw and cooked!

Ariana's Birthday

“Yay,” Promise and I screamed excitedly when we arrived at my cousins 3rd birthday party. The theme for the party was pirates and fairies. Obviously we dressed up as Captains from Gold Island.

Promise and I  played with the balloons until everyone had arrived. When all the guests were here we started to play games. Such as pass the parcel, on the ship off the ship and musical statues.

The first game we played was pass the parcel. In the game you have to pass the parcel when the music is on. When it stops then you unwrap one piece of paper. Promise and I got a lollipop. The winner of the game (person who unwrapped the last paper) got a new coloring pack.

My favorite game was off the ship on the ship. Its a game where players start on one side of a line, then the MC says “off the ship or on the ship” then players jump on the other side of the line. This was my favorite game because I won.

After the games we ate some scrumptious food. I had jelly, chicken chips, pork and all sorts of other delicious food.

Going to Ariana’s birthday was so awesome. I loved it because of all the delicious food and fun games. Happy birthday Ari! I can’t wait for next years party.

This is a story that I created with my friend Promise.

Making Pizza

Making Pizza By Stevenson And Louis from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.

On the first week of school the year 5 and 6 extension students made pizzas. We all answered the same questions on our extension site. After that you had to find a partner and my partner was Louis.

The whole point of making pizzas was to celebrate Labour Day. Labour day is celebrated for a 8 hour working day so they have a day off work. We put ten pineapples on our pizza to signal the month october. Also lots and lots of cheese because heaps of people worked.

We planned what we were going to put on our pizza. Louis and I created a google drawing for what we were going to put on our pizza. We both had grated  cheese, green capsicum, pineapple, ham and tomato paste. When we finished we put our pizza in the oven and waited for it to cook.

While waiting we wrote a blog and after we finished we went to our pizza because it was ready. I cut it into eight pieces then Louis went and gave some slices to teachers like Mrs Bark, Mrs Sorenson and Mr Burt. The rest we ate ourselves. Louis and I agreed that this pizza was scrumptious, yummy yum yum.

Playing Games With My Uncle And Cousin On The Last Day Of The Holiday

One windy afternoon I went over to my uncle’s house next door at 12:00 and played Halo 4. Its a shooting game where there are two teams, red and blue, and you have to try find and kill them. We played until 2:00 and then we drove to JB-HIFI, in Sylvia park, to go buy Black Ops 2.

When we arrived at Sylvia Park my cousin and I played the games on the Ipads while my uncle went and looked for Black Ops 2 to play at his house. He brought the game and told to us, “Let’s go now I've got the game.” we drove back to the house.

We got to his house and straight away played Black Ops. Black Ops is the same as Halo except when you do matchmaking (Playing with other people online) it is faster than ever you can’t even have a break to have lunch and a snack. Also Black Ops have more guns than Halo and Black Ops is just better.

My uncle, cousin and I played until 5:00 then went to Manukau to drop off my uncle’s karate fee’s. Then we drove back to my uncle’s house and I went back home next door had dinner and had a deep sleep until I woke up for school.
