CAMP WAITOMO

20-24 May 2013

MY MAIN HIGHLIGHT of camp WAITOMO WAS THE SPA!!. IT WAS NICE AND HOT BUT THE FIRST THING WE HAD TO DO WAS JUMP INTO THE VERY VERY COLD pool . I wasn’t keen to jump in as I don’t really like cold water. We had to stay in the cold pool for 1 minute. It seemed like 10 minutes. THEN AS SOON AS THE TIME was up we could get out and jump into the nice, hot spa pool. When we got in the Spa my body had a little stinging felling. It felt a little weird but eventually it went away. over all it was nice, hot and relaxing and that was my highlight.

Camp Waitomo

My highlight at camp was going in the wet and humongous caves. The reason why I liked these cave was because we could get wet, muddy and splash each other. The other thing I liked about those caves was when we were right in the middle of the cave. We ate some cookies and had hot Raro. It gave me some energy to finish the cave. When we were coming out I got muddy, dirty and smelly because we had to past a swamp! It was great because I love getting dirty! It had wooden planks to walk past it. I was nearly about to fall off but I managed to save myself. My shoes got very smelly and that was my camp highlight.

Visiting the Hastings Art Gallery

On Wednesday 19th June Room 10 visited the Hastings Public Library. Once we had found some books we went next door to the Art Gallery. We checked out the display celebrating Radio New Zealand. Weta workshops (who are involved with The Hobbit Movies) had made some cool looking radios. Here we are standing beside our favourite designs.

Year 7 Camp at Waitomo Caves

Last week the Year 7’s visited the Waitomo Caves for their camp. The students have been preparing all year for this and have put in a lot of hard work to get there. Here are some of our video diaries from Day 2. We travelled to Stubbs Farm where we did abseiling, caving and team building activities.
