Camp Bentzon

WALT: Summarise a week long experience into a recount.

Just a week ago most of the year six students  went on a camp that has been going on for 25 years. All  the year sixes for the last 25 years of Pt England history have gone to Kawau island to support our school. We had to show what Pt Englanders’ do and how we behave with our manners. Have you ever been to Kawau Island?

Well once we got on our ferry we had a few stops, but when we arrived at our stop at  camp Bentzon we  did our traditional haka. On the Island Erin and Peter introduced the island and themselves, also all the animals and that we have to be careful. I was very surprised to find out we get to got to have heaps of free time and have different competitions that we could win.

Our first activity was rafting for Kawau A. It was very hard for me and my team because some of our boys (actually  all of them) did not help and the girls did all the work. As I was tying the knot it was still not tight it was hopeless.We tried to make it float  on the water but it fell apart, and it was just horrible. We were full of disappointment, but atleast we tried. Oh well, better luck next time.

On the next day I was excited to go abseiling. I was very anxious about it  because I was working on overcoming my fear of heights. I suddenly got scared when I saw Yvonne doing it because she was crying when she was getting down, so I got nervous. Tim said it was going to be ok so I started to get  confident and didn't worry about falling so down I went then…  I MADE IT YAY!

So now it was Friday and was time to go back home. I really wanted to stay but unfortunately we had to go back to school. I enjoyed doing kayaking and sailing also confident course they were my favourite activities I did, but didn't write about it. So on the next holiday you should go to Kawau Island.
