An unforgetable event

As the wind furiously blew through my hair I could not help but notice a dolphins fin glide through the deep blue water. The year 6 crew examined the deep blue sea for dolphins, even though we were just able to see the fin it was still a fun experience. This was a fun thing to do before we arrived at the most spectacular camp ever which was called Camp Bentzon.   

As the ferry ride was coming to the end Mr.Sommerville commanded that we done the haka as it was a tradition. Our leaders for this special event were Jalen and Johnlee. Even though you weren’t able to hear the words of the haka clearly you would still be able to see the passion on our faces.

The task’s that we able to do at Camp Bentzon were quite amazing, but my favourite task had to be sailing. It felt like I was gliding on water, it was truly the greatest event that I have done . I really think the year 5’s would like this event.

I love the water and maybe that is why I like kayaking and the water events. Not only did we go further from the camp’s shore but were able to see stingrays in person. I would usually find stingrays in an aquarium but to see visually in person was great!!

Overall I think this could have been the best camp of my primary year. I think this was a great experience for myself and the rest of the years six’s. I think the year five’s would enjoy this camp. The only downside is they would have to do the run. But apart from that the year 5’s would have the best time. Some of the things they might like are the views, the sport, and the teachers.

Hokulea

 Food glorious food. Isn't gnawing on a chicken bone WONDERFUL!!!  Well have ever thought of this, Chicken bones could be used to find out what year the Polynesians travelled to South America. 

Scientists have always wondered whether the South Americans traveled to Polynesia or was it the other way round. To find this out they would need specific detail. And some people may not believe me I say this but to find out this they use chicken bones. Radiocarbon dating of the chicken bones were pre columbian

How to be a good friend

Throughout the years friends have come and gone. But people may not know what friends are and to have friends are very important. Friends are important because when you are down who will lift you back up and push you even harder. Friends may have different qualities and personalities that you may like or may not like, but I guess that is life. A friend is a person that is loyal,loving,and is most definitely kind, either to you or friends around you.

To be a good friend you need to motivate people, encourage them. But sometimes they can become more than just friends they can become apart of the family. To be a part of the family would be an honour. But one of the things that our principal Mr.Burt told us was that people could get jealous and try to drag you down.

But there's a downside to being a friend you could get caught in mayhem they may affect your friendship. But hopefully someone will be the bigger person and apologise. And sometimes their are people that always think their right. but I guess that’s what happens.

To be a good friend is crucial it could help build stronger relationships with other people. But there's a saying that I like to remember and it is “ friendship is perfected until it is shared.” Which means friendship is not likely to grow unless you share it. So you share the friendship you have to other people to grow the friendship and make and meet more friends.

I have come to conclude even though there’s a downside to having a friendship doesn’t mean you give up straight away it means you keep on trying until you can know longer push. But even though this friendship you have with a friend may not work maybe someone that you never thought possible would like to be a friend with you.
