Hanmer Springs

Hanmer Springs:

An icy cold chill hung in the air,
this was our first time to relax it didn't seem fair.

The water in the pools so warm and nice,
even though we were nearly surrounded in ice.

Snow just meters away,
making its own little white bay.

That day was the best,
and I would say it topped the rest.

My favorite time at camp

My favorite time at camp was when we went to Bridge Valley.
My favorite activity was rock climbing. I had never been rock
climbing before and had no idea what to do but it was pretty
simple. I got to the top of the easy one but not the middle one because

my legs where not long enough. Which was a bit hard.
I liked that when you

got to the top you could see everything.

Yr 6 Room 7 Camp 2012

Yr 6 Room 7 Camp 2012!!!

My favourite 2 activities that happened on our school camp were The Mega Slide and Bowling. They were my favourite things because I had never done these two activities before.

The mega slide is a set of 6 quite high slides, you hop in a sack and go down like a normal slide. Slide 1 is the slowest and slide 6 is the fastest but at the end it all changed and slide 4 was the fastest.

Bowling was fun also. I got a total score of 78.We had no gutter guards. I was 1 point behind Luca. I think that was pretty good for my first time bowling!!!!

On the Tuesday in late September  came a sun drenched sky, hazy mid-spring day.  Bridge Valley was our occupation for the day, including activities such as rock climbing, a confidence course, archery, crazy bikes and go-carting.

Personally, my favourite activity of the day was rock climbing.  The fact of being able to see for miles created a sense of, well, amazing.  But then reality struck when you fell down the wall due to failure of being able to suspend yourself for more than a few minutes!  

Another bonus was Archery.  I'd already done it before but for some reason it was just better at Bridge Valley.  Whether it was the bow or the range, it was really cool! Here are some photos:

The next night we went to the Speights Alehouse.  It was hilarious seeing Luca in skinny jeans!  For a boy who basically has skin made of stubbies, the change was quite, drastic!!!

I can't wait to go on school camp with the people I've grown up with again later in life.

Careers 2012

The chef Josiah

Michael in police gear

We have been studying careers in class.
We each chose a career that we would like to have when we grow up. We researched it and made a job application as if we were applying for the job. We also made an advertisement for that job that included the skills we would need for that job.

We got guest speakers to come in and tell us about their career. We had a chef, two pilots, a police officer, a navy officer and an arm defender officer. Thank you to the people who came in.

As a homework assignment, we made a C.V.(Curriculum Vitae) about ourselves. Our teacher gave us an example of one on our homework sheets and we had to make our own one.
