Camp Bentzon

The year 6's we went to a camp on Kawau island. We done all sort's of activities. My Favourite one was abseiling. As I was coming down it felt like my stomach was going to drop down on the ground like sploshes of rain.

Sadness

Smells like sea salty water

Tastes like salt flavoured water

Looks like every thing is gone from me

Feels like im all alone

Sounds like a group of violins

The Muddy Race

Before we started training we had to take off our shoe's and roll up our pants because the field was absolutely muddy!!! Off the girls went. We were running when our feet and legs got really muddy and dirty and everyone yelled EWWWWWW!!!. then while we were running when this enormous muddy puddle came up and 'SPLASH' it got all over my pants. So I kept on running when I saw a boy pass me so I kept on sprinting when 'SPLASH' another puddle dirted my T-shirt then I said "Oh no". I kept on running and I was nearly to the finish when al of this mud got between my toes and I yelled "EWWWWWW!!!". I got to the finish and there was a lot of girls standing in line to wash their feet. When I finished washing my feet they were extremely cold!!!
