Camp bentzon

                             y6’s camp

Tuesday morning we set off to a camp on Kawau Island. It took about 1 hour to get to the ferry. When we were close to the ferry we started to sing. When we got there we where playing on the park.Then we loaded up the ferry and then we were on our way.It took us 28 minutes to get there

When we got to camp bentson we unloaded the ferry.When we unloaded the ferry we had free time to play around.The day after that we did our activity. My first activity was confidence course. I was really looking forward to salling and abseiling because it looked fun.

Finally it was time to do salling it was pretty cool but sadly it wasn't that much wind.It was Me, Mr Goodwin, Miss berry, Shanon,

and Bentzon B. I almost capsized i had to go back to get out all the water when i went back a man called peter said “Wow it looks like a sonamy”in here so I had to take out the water.

My favorite highlight was abseiling.Because that was the high’s thing I ever been on. I would really like to do it again but some people were scared.

Then on thursday it was finally concert night Yay First it went Kats then kuwa then machen then finally the best for last it was Bentzon

How to be a good friend

WALT: write an explanation telling people how they 

can be safe in the sun.

What’s a good friend a good friend is sticking up for one another and helping your friend with some work if you a finish yours.If your friend is in a fight you help him out like to sort it out.If you friend is upset then ask him what’s wrong and don’t tell on your friend for no reason.Never ever put your friend down and don’t charge your friend don’t make them feel sad.Support your friend care for them and some day you colud get a really good job   

If your friend is sad see if he is all right and just wait with him in tell he feels better when your friend is well an stop’s crying then you can go and play kick’s with your friend on the field.If someone has no one to play with just ask if he or she want’s to play with you
