WALT: write a blog post about camp

In week six { last week } Rooms 5, 6 and 10 went on camp to the Hokianga. We stayed at Te Whakarongotai marae for 2 night.  We looked at the stunning view of Hokianga harbor the sand dunes and the beautiful ocean. My mum came to be our group leader and take care of us while on camp.

The first thing we did was head off to Wairere Boulders. As we walked down the path we noticed fairy houses built in logs and stumps. Some had names like tink and movies from peter pan, Hansel and Gretel and Narnia. The boulders were HUGE!!  walking across the track a seeing the boulders made me feel like an ant. One track lead us under a huge bolder filled with spiders webs and bugs ever were. When we finished coming out and under the bolders, it was time to got back to the marae.

When we came back we had a powhiri then had some food. After setting up everything we drove down to the lookout and started sketching the harbor. I drew the mountain with the houses on it. After it was time to head back to the marae. We had dinner got ready for bed, then a surprise happens. Ms Peters decided to have a disco for the kids. We danced the night away for ages. I was getting tired so I headed of to bed.

The next morning we went and saw Tane mahuta, the four sisters and Mauta Ngahere. We also when to the sand dunes, We drew Tane mahuta for awhile then when back to the marae. After we played spotlight we went to bed. The next morning we packed up, talked to the Kaumatua of the marae and headed back to school. While driving home we stopped at the dairy and had a ice cream.
