Camp Bentzon 2017 Year 6.

Finally, another holiday away from school, Only Year 6’s. Some Yr 5 and 6’s didn’t come, most came late and miss the bus. Over the North Shore and take a boat to Kawau Island in Camp Bentzon. It was Yr6 camp and the 14th Time this camp was Held since 2003. After going to Kawau Island the Boys did a Haka for the Island when Peter and Erin saw someone coming.

We then welcome them with a waiata and Took all the stuff from the Boat, after we then gone to our rooms and place our bags in our cabins and sleep with our mates but before we leave is get our day bags on us and go up Killer hill. Then we had to take a big hike up the mountain and took us a long time to get up there. It took us 1 hour to get there while we played for another Hour at a nearby beach and back to Camp Bentzon.  After it then took us a fast time better then the first time and the Boys took 10 minutes to get there. Celebrating with joy!

After we then went on a swim on Tuesday to do some bombing and belly flop into the water. The next day we then woke up early like it was 5:30 but then we saw a Wallaby in the bush. We after then went for a run on the Fitness Trail which is a 5 minute run. If you do it within under 5 minutes then you are a fit person. So then after we did Breakfast which they heaps of protein food and also Ice cream but I didn’t eat any junk food because it’s not good for you. After we then did some Activities which was Sailing, Raft Building, Concourse and Bivouac which was our first Rotations and also we did some other game like Spotlight, Volleyball and Hit and Roll. We then did our Camp Concert practice and after did Spotlight, After we then got dressed in black because we want to camouflage in the dark and I made 4 times back to the deck.

The Next day was the same. The next day we then woke up early like it was 5:30 but then we saw a Wallaby in the bush. We after then went for a run on the Fitness Trail which is a 5 minute run. If you do it within under 5 minutes then you are a fit person.

Manaiakani Film Festival 2017

Thank you for This Wonderful Event last wednesday at Sylvia Park. We first had to Check the Roll at school and also the other class had to stay at school until 11:00 at Morning Tea. After we then went to the hall, then sort out our buddies with the Year 1’s, so we then went to the so buses with a Buddy and my buddy was a girl which I helped her in the Rain so she doesn't get wet.

After we got on the Bus we then went to our seats and off to the Movies we go, “Okay we off to Town’’.  I said. We then got there and saw some People from the Manaiakalani Community Service and the Picture off the Short Films that we are going to watch. 5 minutes later we then began with the Extension group of the Yr 5&6’s and Much much more from other schools.

My favourite part is when the Movies were Creative and Sharing with Kindness. Some of them we funny and also kinda cool, It’s the 10th Anniversary of that Film Festival and that Glen Taylor Has now join our school Fest of Manaiakalani.

Next year Is going to be way better than This Year's Film Festival. We are gonna do some hard work in The Summer and Winter to get these movies sorted for Next Year so we can do the best at our test’s and showing off. We can do this By learning to get smarter and Including our teachers.

Thank you So much Helpers and The Service for setting up this event for us. Without you we couldn't have fun with you, so and clap and another Thank you for this. Thank’s this is Nytram and see you soon!
