Overnighter!

Overnighter!!

On Monday the 2nd of March, Room 19 and the rest of team five went to Paekakariki. When we got to the holiday camp, we heard a few rules before we got to put up our tents. Putting up the tents was tricky for some people, we had to find the right size tents for poles and vice versa, so it took a while. After setting up the tents we put on our togs and sunscreen and made our way down to the beach. The teachers spread out in the sea to set the boundaries of where we could swim. Then most of us sprinted into the water before we got  thrown in the water by Mr Morris because had said that the last person left on the beach would get thrown in. We spent around 2 hours at the beach having fun before we had to leave to go back to the campsite to cook dinner.

At camp we have to make our own dinner to eat. A lot of people made things like nachos, tacos and some had pasta or hamburgers. We would like to thank all the parents who came and helped make this wonderful experience happen.

On Monday, Team 5 went on the overnighter at Paekakariki. We did lots of fun activities such as; Spotlight, Swimming at the beach and much more. Spotlight was a really fun experience with people running around in the dark trying to find ten different colored cubes without being caught by the teachers. It was a fine hot day to go for a swim and relax at the beach. The waves were spectacular, they were becoming bigger and longer while a crowd of kids trying to jump over them. Cooking dinner was also a highlight with some dinners being delicious and some um… not so much. On the last day we went for a walk walking up steep rocky hills then onto the beach. The walk took a while with tired looking faces trudging up the hill. Once we got back to the campsite we had lunch and then got ready for the trip back to school.
