Strike Shoot Splash

STRIKE, on the first night of camp we went to ten pin bowling.  We all started off thinking it was easy and we would beat the parents but all of us were wrong.  Strike after miss after spare the parents points grew and ours did too.  The night went on with lots of strikes and misses.  Anna took out a victory with a whopping 143 points.  After our loss we went back to camp.


On the second night of camp we went to lazer strike to shoot our teacher and the parents. We started off with lots of teams. We ran around shooting every one we saw. Every round we changed teams. We had 6 rounds and Patrick Larrivee won three of them.  It was real good fun.


On the last day of camp we went to Moana pool to swim.  When we all  got into our togs we speed walked to the giant kids pool.  We all splashed in the pool and swam in the lazy river.  Then a man came and told us the water slides and diving boards were open.  We played for ages then after a while Mr Excell told us to get out and get dressed.

Te Anau School Hangi

On the third of July Te Anau School had a hangi to celebrate the end of their Matariki topic. Over Term 2 we all did lots of art through out the classes. At the start of the term Room 12 was put in charge of digging the hangi. Over a few weeks we completed it. It was hard work. When the day came for our hangi it was cancelled but Redcliff restaurant kindly cooked our vegetables and Dale’s hangi team cooked the meat on BBQs. We also sang songs like at a traditional Matariki celebration.

We had some food once we sang our songs. Yum Yum. We had lots of different varieties of food like root vegetables and meat. We reckon the best one were the chops. Once we finished eating our parents looked through the classes. What a day. But it wouldn’t have been possible with out the parents, Dale’s team, the teachers, Redcliff, Kiwi Holiday Park for donating their place, Mr Rush and all the children.
