Woodend Camp - Day Two

After a less than great sleep (The teachers only got 4 hours of interrupted sleep! Good thing they work 9-3 and only term time eh?!?), but a delicious breakfast, we headed off on the bus to the new Taiora:QEII facility. There was a lot of excitement ... eeeek a hydroslide and a lazy river!!!







Following our hamburger lunch we got ready for the afternoon's activities; aerojump, climbing wall, archery and rifle shooting.














After all that activity you'd think a rest was in order but no, free time was on offer and so basketball, trampolines, maypole swinging and playground was the order of the day. Luckily dinner was full of colourful veggies and some drumsticks (and a crumble dessert).

Refuelled we headed out into the dark for a game of spotlight and then inside for some of our 'Posted' shared story and then the newspaper challenge. There were many prizes with design awards, special mentions, teamwork awards and the overall winner.







Best Design.

Whew! What a day. The beds were finally calling to all and so everyone settled in for the night and as the Dream Fairy weaved her magic and a hush settled over the camp, the parents and teachers sighed in relief and went to bed.

  2. Hey Rimu Class!
    That's some great fun right there. Water slides look so fun and scary. Designing clothes sounds amazing! And the best design looks pretty good, too. If I was there my lungs would be completely dead after all of that.
    How many days will you be at Camp for?

    Can't wait to see the rest of your posts!

  6. Hi Rimu class. My name is Sam, I am from Waikowhai Primary School.
    That looks like so much fun!
    What was your favorite part? If I was there I would probably like the climbing wall the most because I have been to some other camps that have some really good climbing walls and it was the best!

  9. Kia ora Rimu class,
    Your camp looked AMAZING. Imagine a hydroslide and a lazy river on camp! Was the water nice and warm? The photos looked great and showed so many activities. I imagine it would be hard to choose a favourite part of camp. How many nights did you stay?

    It looks Luke Woodend Camp Was Crazy Fun and you Rocked all your Activities. I'm Really Jealous of Your Camp But We're going to camp At the end of the year. the thing you should improve in your post is Describing Camp A little More. Our School is Going to Camp Raglan and we're Really Excited. You Know We've fundraiser for almost half of the Price.I'm Really Happy For you and all your Class.

    Sincerely,

  13. OMG! RIMU CLASS
    My name is Ayva and I am a student at Waikowhai Primary School and
    I am mind blown by just looking at these photos and seeing how much fun you had at camp.But maybe you could use less photos and more explaining even though the photos were GREAT! I have sooo many questions but you will probably get bored reading them all so here is my most 2 important questions: 1) What did you learn? 2) Did anyone get hurt doing tricks?
    Well that's all I have for you today and good job on your post and
    I can't wait until your next post I will try to be the first person who views it or maybe even comment.
