Camp narrative

The Big Secret

One sunny, bright and happy day at Camp Raglan the teachers started to act suspicious. The year 5s and 6s from PCS had gone to Camp-it was the school’s first “proper” Camp. Everybody had all their sun protection on and they had been hanging out for a swim all day. Eventually they got their swim and it was dinner time.

 The teachers all sat together whispering about something but the children just couldn’t guess what it was they were doing. “ Maybe they are aliens from outer space” said Molly who was that friend who was just a little bit “out there” if you get what I mean. “ I don’t think so “ said Willow who didn’t really believe any of that at all. “ Maybe they’re going to send someone home “ Grace mentioned “ that’s much more believable Molly ” Willow gave Molly a look. At bedtime since these girls were in a sleeping group and next to the teachers they could hear the teachers still talking about something but they just could not make out what it was they talking about.

The next day it was their last day at Camp Raglan-or so they thought. The teachers didn’t start packing up and everyone was confused then the teachers went around saying to everyone that there was a surprise at base. Once everyone was outside the teachers announced that they were staying for three more days! All the children were really excited and they lived happily ever after for the next three days then they went home.

Tomorrow we are going on a three day camp at Camp Raglan and everybody is super excited about it. To tie in with that we wrote some narratives about camp. This is my one, enjoy!

The Twits

Character description and my opinion based on The Twits

Mr Twit The Twittiest Twit Ever

Mr Twit has a very ugly appearance, especially his big, long, matted beard. You can see some of the food in it, and the rest must just be a horrific mouldy mess at the back of his beard. I personally think he should really wash it or just shave it off altogether it’s so unhygienic he could probably be dead by now it’s so bad!  He seems to like his Wednesday (usually) bird pie, once he tried to put boys in it because he’s so obsessed. He must be as hungry as a horse on Wednesdays. He’s even gone out with Mrs Twit to buy guns to get the birds. He has four pet monkeys too, he makes them stand upside down for hours, his heart is a cold, cold, COLD stone.

Mrs Twit The Haggiest Of The Hags

Mrs Twit and her old glass eye are absolutely DISGUSTING. Once she put it in Mr Twits drink and he drank all of it and almost the eye too. She has a walking stick too, (she just has to hit and swat everything she sees with that one good but not so good eye), even if it’s her husband. She is as ugly as the oldest, scruffiest, wartiest, witch in the world (I would even say uglier) she needs massive PERMANENT plastic surgery. I don’t know how she’s not arrested for just being ugly that’s how atrocious it is.  She’s always playing pranks on Mr Twit (and Mr Twit does the same). Mrs and Mr Twit don’t even care about each other, you might think they sound the same and would be a perfect match but NO they basically hate each other! I wonder if they’ll ever get a divorce?




I hope you enjoy my character description about The Twits

What I have learnt from making the Cookbook

From making our Cookbook I have learnt, how to work out the costs of everything on a google sheet and how to make an advertisements. We had to make sure everything was correct and how much we would have to sell them for to make a worthwhile profit. My favourite thing about making the Cookbook was helping make the tester brownies and making the extra pages like the authors page.

QR codes

We learnt our to use QR codes to link our work. You can download an app called QR code scanner on any device such as Android or Apple, if you run your scanner over it, it will take you straight to the URL you have linked it to. See where this QR code takes you.

Ginger bread cookies

We are making a cook book to fundraise for camp at the end of the year. We had to choose our favourite recipe and write it onto a doc and then copy it onto a slide that Mrs P shared with us. Then some people made the covers and we put it all together. Here is my recipe.

Jump Jam

Last Friday it was our principal's leaving assembly and all the cultural groups performed for her. I performed in Jump Jam and Kapa Haka. Here are some pictures of the Jump Jam group after our performance. It was our first time performing this year and it was a great experience. It was really fun and I can't wait until our next performance.

Pinwheel scones

In reading we each had to find a gluten free or dairy free but no one liked those recipes so we just made pinwheel scones which were really quite cheap. The most expensive thing would be the cream or the butter. They were really fun and easy to make. They tasted good too.

Chocolate

In reading we have been learning about Chocolate. Did you know that the smell of chocolate triggers relaxation? Enjoy the prezi

3 Way Conferences

We had 3 way conferences this week and we made a slide show to show our parents. We had to put on our goals where we are and where we want to be at the end of he year. We also had some work that we were proud of and what we have done around the key competencies.

Chocolate Glossary

In reading we have been learning about chocolate. One of our activities was to use the words given find out the meaning and make a glossary on google slides.

Manawatu prezi

In reading we had to learn about the big slip in the Manawatu gorge and we had to research and make a prezi and include pictures.

Time management checklist

In room 4 we have been learning about time management. We came up with key points and made them into a checklist in groups of 3 to 4. Then we had to make pictures on Google draw and upload them to a Google doc and write what the picture and the key point means.

Poppies

In reading we learnt about the significance of the poppy and why we wear it. We had to research, put the information into our own words and then make a slide presentation. Did you know the poppy was one of the first flowers to grow back after the war?

Give It A Go Day

Yesterday we had a Give It A Go Day we played lots sports like European Handball, Turbo Touch, Rippa Rugby, Futsal and Ultimate Frisbee. We learnt how to play lots of sports. The day was really fun. My favorites were European Handball and Ultimate Frisbee.

History of Papakura

In reading we've been learning about the history of Papakura. We learnt about what it was like back then and what we have now compared to then. Then we made a slide show about what we had learnt.

Time management

Our presentation is about time management and what looks like. We made this check list to remind us how to manage our time effectively. We worked in a group to produce a slide each about one of our 5 key points which are, proiritise, timeline, do task, check and initiative. Do you manage your time effectively? Or complete all your tasks within a time frame?

Google maps

In maths we have been learning about google maps and how to use it. I have learnt that it shows you all different kinds of transport such as driving, walking, biking and many other things. It shows you the fastest route, the directions to get there, street views and it does the same thing for the whole world.There is an activity to do at the end, it will be really fun. I can't wait for all the feed back.

European Settlers Questionaire

Google Forms-Questionaire

I have been learning about the early settlers and when they first arrived in NZ. I learnt that the moari people lived a different style before the early settlers came. Did you know Abel Tasman was the first one to discover NZ but didn't set foot on it so couldn't claim it, about 100 years later Captain James Cook came along and set foot on NZ therefore claiming it. Can you take part in our Questionaire? Thank you.
