Camp Tirohanga Day 1

By Holly Froods

When we arrived with our baking we put it in the tub. I sat down excitedly to listen to Miss Bates, she taught us how to pitch a tent and gave us a sheet that had the materials then we glued it in our topic books.

When we left with our heavy bags we loaded them on the bus and left. I sat excitedly at the window. When we arrived I loaded my bags back out and had some pizza.

Then we went down to set up our tents. We grabbed our tent and unloaded it and started pitching tents. After some help from the parents and trying hard we finally did it! After that we had lunch that was tasty! T

We then had free time which was fun to explore the camp, but after that we went up for the bivvies and our team won the competition. We won because we had the most creativity, then we went back down to cook dinner which was cheesy nachos which was yummy and crunchy.

After dinner we had some relays with Miss Kimpton including wheelbarrow, crab walk and racing, then some games with Miss bates we played beat detective, wink murder and two truths one lie! Then we went down to the hall and wrote down Day 1, then coloured in some pictures and puzzles, then it was time for spotlight!

It was amazing we had to commando crawl through the bushes and dirt to reach the bucket which the teachers and parents were guarding with their torches!

Paige, Kaela and Preston won spotlight, but if you lost you had to go up to the hall and ring the bell so the teachers knew you were honest and you went back to the start.

But then it was time for bed, we got in our pyjamas, brushed our teeth and got in our sleeping bags and went straight to sleep after a busy day!
