Camp!
On the 20th of August the senior syndicate went on a trip to Mount Ruapehu, we had to wake up so early because we had to be at school by 7:30am to get in our colour groups and put our suit cases in the bus. When it was time to get in the bus we all said bye to our families for 4 days off the went to Hamilton Gardens, when we made it to Hamilton Gardens we had a lunch break.
We also had a papers with pictures of statues, patterns and a lot more when we went back in the bus we went to Otorhanga witch is the Ed Hillary Walkway to have a lunch break and looked at the posters and had a challenge the challenge was trying to find information from the posters. when we finished the challenge when went to the park it was really fun when we had a race on ta really fun ride and we couldn't figure out who won the race.
Next stop was Tumaria School and had a play there me and my friends played cricket lots of parents came and joined the game with us It was awesome. And now the best part going to the crossing where we're staying for 3 days. The next day it was our first ski and snowboarding we went to put on our gear and when I put on my gear It was soo hot and the boots were heavy.
I was skiing we learnt how to Stop, slow down and how to ski. we also went tobogganing and got to go on the magic carpet. On the last day of skiing we got to have free time me and my friends raced each other and going on the chair lift. On the last day we went to the pool and we could bomb. This was the best camp ever!
Before going to camp I feel very nervous but excited at the same time because I get to go somewhere with the whole school and spend time with my friends for the first time. I also get to touch the snow again after 3 years! My challenge goal is to ski on higher mountains. I could gain confidence and becoming better at skiing by going faster. I could also become more confident with skiing faster than 3 years ago. After Camp I think I will feel like snowboarding instead of skiing so I could learn something new. I would feel very scared because my family wont come on the trip but I think I will get used to it because ill be with my friends.
