Kids for Kids

Today is the day of the kids for kids concert we have to be there at the TSB theatre In New Plymouth I have to sing 18 songs with Suzanne prentice on the night. We practiced lots and lots for the big thing, while we had the rest the other kids that tried out for Edelweiss, then we came back on stage, got into our places and started singing again. Then the man that was running things gave a little speech and told us to return at seven o’clock.

We came back at seven o’clock and sang eighteen songs. Matilda the gorilla was the best. It was great to be a part to such a big thing.

Te Wera Camp

Today is the first ay of Te Wera camp on Monday. The older kids are going to have a river study with this guy from the Taranaki district council. So we walked over the road on a track for a while and we began to get stuff in our tray and in our sive then we take them up the bank totrnsfer them into the tray. That’s where we get to identify all of the little creatures that are so cool. I got my shoes all dirty and muddy plus I had wet socks. Then we finished, but we had to go around and have a look at all the other trays before we could go back to camp.


Back at the lodge it was time to have lunch for about ten minutes then we played a game called predator it was alright I was the best one of all I was the rabies’ I could not die so me and Dillon ganged up and got just about everyone.


Next up for us was archery I got to bull’s-eyes Koren got one aswell along with Nina. We only had one arrow though so it was very slow. My partner was Brendon he was alright but he kept on pushing the arrow not letting it go but he could not get the hang of it Next up for us was team building that was alright I did not enjoy it as much as archery though we had to put the tyre over this pole the other team did it but not us We had the trickey job that was getting it back over again in the end Chris had to do it me missed it but the second time he got it Next was the platform that swayed it was easy the first time once a person had got onto it then it was just a matter of getting onto it yourself then it was easy. We had the wall to do next we got everybody over with a little bit of help from Chris he helped us up and then we all got up that was good. But by the time we finished it was time to go home it was wonderful weather for it I just hope that it was this weather for tomorrow. It was the last day of camp we had to do all of this walking over to this camp site that bushman Bob put up for us 10 years ago and we split into groups of three to make these huts we had a piece of plastic some string a lot of wood and a swamp that was our area. At the end of it we had a marking out of 10 we got 7 the others got 6 and the winner was the team with the highest score got 8 I think I’m not sure but they won. Next we had lunch on the track I played tag with Shane and everybody else. Then we had the big hill that we had to walk up that was enough in itself but we still had to make sneers and learn navigation then was the long walk back Brendon and I were making all kinds of jokes and stuff. When we got back to camp bushman Bob
