Made awards

This year a group of people are doing the MADE awards. The MADE awards is a documentary competition for students to enter. We have a secret topic. I am sorry we can’t tell you our topic otherwise it could be used elsewhere. We had a meeting with Mr O'Neill to talk about all our script writing and our idea’s. It was a good session and we got lots of new knowledge.Hopefully we can start filming soon. You can check out the website here http://www.madeawards.com/

Anzac

In the terrible time world war one was. Over  37 million people got sent to fight in the war. Nurses were also sent over to help the soldiers. On Christmas Day they stopped fighting to show some respect. Soldiers were sent mail but lots of it got put back in the mail sack.Around 16 million people got killed and 20 million got wounded. In New Zealand we have a day called Anzac Day. It is on the 25 April. The day of Anzac Day was picked from when the soldiers landed in Gillpoli. There is a parade that goes on Anzac Day and all The Soldiers that survived march but also there family members wore medals to remember them. This year is was 100 years since they landed in Gillipoli. I have made a mind Mup about the war so you can see that underneath this writing.

Camp 2015

The last 3 days we have been at camp at Totara Springs. On the first day we had a tour and did Top Town.  We did a rotation.They were mostly Team Building activity's.Later on we did river side activity's.The activity's were Kayaking,Water slide,Beach volleyball and the water hole.I first went to the water hole and jumped of the bridge and hit the ice cold water it started doing freestyle to he ladder I was scared an eel was chasing me. I went to the water slide next. I fell into the water i was eager to get another turn. Next Kayaking I kept on crashing into the side but I got there in the end. We had dinner then did a Burma Trail. I got a bruise on my knee I was so scared. We slowly drifted to sleep. We woke up and had breakfast. There was Jet planes up for grabs for who had the tidiest cabin. We got the jet planes. After that we did a rotation.My group did rock climbing first and it was very hard and you had to be careful. We went back to have morning tea then went to the Go Karts. I almost went off the track but I stayed on. After that we went to the Gym and did Crate Climb. I got 11 crate on but I got so scared. The record at Totara springs is 32 and it touched the roof. Paige got 19 and got half way.We had a Lunch break then got into the Flying fox. It was amazing but I backed out a couple times but got there in the end. Then we did abseiling it was scary but really fun. Then we had afternoon tea. We were lucky enough to get to go in the Hot Pool. Then we had a delicious Dinner. Later on in the night we went eeling. We sadly didn't catch an eel. We made Damper it was really yum. After that we made S'mores. They are Marshmallows roasted on the camp fire and stuck in between two Biscuits but we put ours in Chocolate Thins. We went back to our cabins and fell asleep. That morning we had Pancakes and they were yum. We had to pack up our cabins. We got to do BMX Dodge Ball and Human sized Foosball. Then we went on the Hydro Slide. The Hydro Slide is 128 meters long it is the second biggest in the southern Hemisphere. Once we had done that we went into the Hot Pool.We had a delicious Lunch. After that we had to pack the cars and head back to school.
