Today we went to Papamoa. We had a very long walk up the Papamoa Hills. We had morning tea at the top. We saw Mayor and Motiti Islands. After Papamoa we went to Baywave and I went on the hydro slide.

I went to the Papamoa Hills and it was steep. After that we went to the Baywave pools. I went on the hydro slide and it was dark at the top. On the way out of the dark bit, Georgia was trying to catch up with me and Jamie was too.

We went to a kiwi place. We sat on a kiwi then we went on the kiwifruit ring and then we went on the jet boat. It was really, really super crazy!!! The boat spun around and around. I got wet in it. It was the best boat in the whole wide world. Weeeeee!! Then we went to Comvita. We learned about bees, buzz. We asked questions and we watched a funny bee TV!! We had sandwiches. Then we went back to camp and we got sprinkled with water on our hands and fingers with the sprinkler.

I went on the jet boat and they spun the boat, “weeeeeeee”, then we went again and stopped.
After that we went to see the bees. Then I saw the bees “Bzzzzzzzz”. And what do bees make? Honey! So we had honey sandwiches, “Mmmmmmmmmm”.
Then I went back to camp.
I love school camp.

We cleaned up our room. Then we went around the Mount and had lunch. We went to Pilot Bay and we dived under the water and we found a starfish. Then we threw it away into the water.

We went to the rock pools and we got some shellfish. The rock pools only had shells in. My mum picked up the shells and we couldn’t go in too deep because it was too high.

We had a very interesting visit to Brookfield New World Bakery.
We saw dough being made, kneaded, rolled and cut up into balls. There were huge ovens to cook all the delicious treats in. We were especially impressed by the special toppings put on the cakes.
We learned a lot when we visited the Bakery.
Thank you New World and all those wonderful parents who accompanied us on our trip.

We were learning to draw cartoon pets as part of our report writing unit. Miss Rickard taught how to make cardboard prints of our chosen pets.

Unfortunately the names didn’t come out on the slide show. Enjoy!

We were very lucky to have such an enthusiastic group of people visit our school to help us plant trees in the native bush.

We were fortunate to have Joe from England and Taku from Japan come into our room. Joe talked to us about important places in England, such as Stone Henge, Big Ben, the double decker bus and lots of other things.

Taku told us all about Japan and was very busy writing names for the children. He also performed a Japanese type of haka that they perform at special functions.
He performed it well.
