CAVES

OMG! Its so dark in here.
"Hine where are you? This is so dark!" shouted Emily.
I ran out like a wild animal. Wow! this is better. We saw lots of ferns,trees and lots of diffrent things I have never seen before. We saw pinky,orangey mushrooms and lots of red berries. I think they were poisonous. Yuck when we went into one cave we saw lots of yuck wetas. When we went into another cave there were slippery rocks and slimy mud. There also was an ugly looking beetle. Wow! I all most forgot we saw a green lake. We could see right though it. It was incredible.

To day room 13 and room 14 went for lots of walks in the maori bush then all of room 13 and 14 went in to some wonderful caves. We went to 8 caves and then we saw a green pounamu lake. Also the rata vine was strangling the tree and Mr Ginns was telling us to pose and jump.

This is us when we had finished all the caves.

Wednesday: Lou's Lookout, by Cairo

Wow! It was awesome. We looked down at the bus. It looked like a toy bus. With mini Mrs McLean, tiny Cedric and even tinier Adam. We saw small arms waving around. They looked like mini fingers flying. OMG! the lake is so huge. And the mountains are so tall.It looked so awesome. The lake looked like a bowl of soup for a giant's dinner. Wow! I wouldn't like to be in that bowl.
"Next!" shouted Mr Ginns.
Oh! Oh - why do we have to go down? Its just so awesome.

(The photo at the top of the blog is the view we saw from the top of the lookout.)

The bus looked a long way down!



What an awesome view!

Awesome! First Day at Camp Kaitawa

Today was awesome. When I woke up I peeked out the window. I could see a wonderful view but the only thing was that I had to climb it. I gasped in shock! I did not believe I was going to climb it.
Later on that day I was on the top of that view, Mount Ngamoko. I had no idea what I just climbed. Being about 1500 metres in the air and not noticing it is pretty out of it.

Year six camp by Sylvia

The year sixes in room 13 and room 14 are going to Lake Waikaremoana to stay at Camp Kaitawa next week. I'm excited to go. My Dad is coming. And Mrs McLean and Mr Fitzsimons and Mr Ginns are coming too. We are going on a six hour walk.We are staying in dormitories on bunks. There are other walks too. We will see lots and lots of beautiful scenery, and there are caves too. I'm a bit scared about the caves. We get to make our own stew for tea.
The year fives from our class will be staying behind in Mr Versey's class.

Kiri Te Kanawa is a New Zealand singer who is world famous. She sings opera. Did you know she sang at Prince Charles and Lady Diana's wedding, and 600,000,000 people watched it worldwide on television?
She was born in Gisborne in 1944. When she was twelve her family went to live in Auckland. In 1965 she entered an important singing competition and came first. She is mother to two children and has a husband.
She has been travelling the world for many years with her singing but is returning to New Zealand soon to sing.
Kiri Te Kanawa is my role model and I love her talents.
