Camp experienece

Day 1 of camp

When we got to the marae we put our mattresses down and packed what  we needed for white water rafting. We got in in the car and went to the place for white water rafting and. When we got there we put life jackets on and helmets to protect us from if me fall of the boat. My group went first so we pushed the raft in to the river and I fell in to the raft as we were doing that. When I was looking at the rapids of water crashing on rocks loudly I got scared and my stomach had butterfly's and my heart beating faster and faster but I remembered what cowl said and to give everything a go so that's what I did. I started to paddle with my paddle and started to float down the river and went down a hole and got wet.
Day 2 of camp
In the morning I went to go set up the tables for breakfast and we made toast we ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and
ate and ate and ate and ate. After that we played a game and we got put into groups of 6 and went down the steps next to the marae and put life jackets on and walked threw long long long long long long grass that was super itchy. We walked until we reached the bridge and I sat on the tube and I floated and kicked down the river that was cold. After the nice refreshing float we hoped out and got changed.

Day 3 of camp the last day

The last day of camp was very sad I had so much fun but I had to go back to school. I got up and got dressed and went to got have breakfast I ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and ate until I was full. When we finished our amazing breakfast we a lady came with a helper to teach us how to make poi and a fish made out of flacks. First we made a fish and we got some flacks and used scissors to soften the flacks and then we folded it and folded it until we got the shape of a fish. After that we learned how to make poi. first we got some pillow stuffing and rope and a plastic bag. First you need to make the the stuffing look like a ball the use the rope to rape it around the stuffing and then platted the rope with a buddy and after that rape a plastic bag around the the stuffing then tape it then you get a poi.

The War Between Hercules And Te Puia

It all started when a day wasn't going smoothly and it did not get any better. The sun gave a direct hit with a fireball to Te puia the most loveliest mountain. The fireball left Te puia with no choice but to fight back. Te puia grabbed a giant boulder and threw it with lightning speed to the sun.The sun gave up and ran away with a great big bruise.

Then out of nowhere a little rabbit named hercules came out of a large cave and hid in a bush. Hercules has seen the battle between Te puia and the sun hercules was determined to defeat Te poia and bring back light.

  

The next day there  was a great big storm and hercules  was looking for a place for shelter without thinking Hercules ran onto Te puia and Te puia felt little feet sprinting on her and looked without blinking at Hercules.

Hercules tried to run he ran and he ran  as fast as he had ever ran before. Te puia grabbed a rock out of nowhere and it was tiny but still threw it to Hercules but hercules grew and grew and grew and grew until he was bigger than Te puia and ended Te puia’s life and Hercules became the king of the mountain.

Hercules let every creature into the mountain including the sea creatures Hercules made a little stream going through the mountain that connects to the sea of tranquillity.
