Camp+stories

We wrote fantastic stories when we came back from camp. Feel free to add your comment about your childs story.

On Wednesday we caught the giant boat all the way to the magnificent camp. I had such great fun. We were doing heaps of forward rolls down the hill and one time up on top of the hill, Austin kept on saying “cupazui” and jumping on me. I loved it when we had the American hot dogs and when we climbed on the pohutukawa tree. We were surprised when we saw the talent show. Camp was awesome and at the talent show it was funny when Austin said, “Do you want to hear a long joke? Joooooooooooooke!” I loved the bun that I got. I liked the Burma trail. I just loved camp. I loved it when I was tackling Austin when we were playing tackle tiggy. Jackson

Hilarious jokes...lol

On Wednesday morning we drove down to the wharf. We all hopped on the fast boat. At Urupukapuka Island, Mrs Davies and Mrs Cameron gave out our booklets. Mr Fitzpatrick showed us where our boundaries are. At camp I snuggled in my snuggly blanket. When we played with our booklet there where interesting things to do. I played last card with my friends. I slept in Mrs Davies tent. Grace, Chevylee, Saphyre and Patience were in Mrs Davies tent. We were in Tui. We had a nice swim at Cable Bay. The best thing was kayaking. For breakfast we had pancakes. It was yummy. First we had porridge because we had to wait until we had the pancakes. Ronnie was cooking breakfast lunch and dinner. Room 2 and Room 3 went for an awesome walk. I think Saffyre was the best singer. The judges were Mr Fitzpatrick, Mrs Williams and Miss Hadwin. In our booklets there was spot the difference, word search, colouring and all sorts of stuff. I loved it at camp. Jade

At six o’clock in the morning we woke up. But I woke up at five o’clock. My dad Mike helped pack my day pack. When I got to the wharf I played with Nicole, Madison and Isabella. When we got to camp the bell rang. That means that we have to go on the big kids side. We had to go to assembly. For dinner we had nachos with mince and cheese. For breakfast we had weetbix, spaghetti and baked beans on toast. We also had delicious yummy pancakes with maple syrup. For lunch we had some buns. We got to choose what we got to have on our buns. I had cheese and ham. It was fun when we did the talent show. Madison and Nicole were scared to go on stage. Maija

It was very very dark when we walked on to the boat to go to camp. When we got there we stopped at Oteha Bay to have something to eat. Then we walked up the hill and down. When we got there we did a treasure hunt. Nicole and Madison and I did not do very well. Then the barge with my stuff came. I grabbed it and put it on the other side of the grass. Next Nicole and I found Nicoles tent. Next some of the adults helped put up the tent. After that, we put all our stuff in it and set up our beds. Next we went up the big hill and rolled down and over so many times. Then it was dinner time and we lined up to get our dinner. Bethany

At six in the morning I got to the wharf. We got on the boat when everybody was there and when we got on the boat we had our buddy’s with us. Nicole and I were buddy’s and we went off the boat together. We walked to camp together. We watched the talent quest but Nicole and I were too scared to perform, so we watched part of our act. I had pancakes for breakfast and I had buns for lunch and hamburgers for tea and the hamburgers were scrumptious. I did not like the Burma trail because I did not like people jumping out at me. I liked watching the kayaks go past. I liked relaxing on my bed reading books. Madison

On Wednesday we went to Urupukapuka Island camp. It was really fun. Matheus, Jackson and I played on the big hill. For the talent show I did jokes. One was, “Do you want to hear a long joke? Yes? Joooooooooooke!” and “What looks after children and is dead? A mummy!” Then the haka boys came on. The next day we made a giant spider crab out of sand. It turned out good, or should I say great. I made my own thing. Then I played on the hill. Matheus was a ram and he was like, “I’m a ram!” and he scared me off the edge. I said, “Ha, ha, very funny.” We played dive tiggy on the hill. You had to try to dive at people and trip them. Austin

We went camping. I had a nice sleep in my warm sleeping bag. We played on the grassy hill. We did rolly polly’s. On the beach we found some black shells too. We saw the talent show. We saw heaps of dancing. We had lots of fun at Urupukapuka Island. We went on the cliff. It was big. It is even bigger than a house. We saw some sheep. We saw the whole sea. It is beautiful at the sea. We had lots of fun. We went up and down on the boat. Some people were up the top of the boat. We went back to Paihia. Romeo

On Wednesday morning the school went to the wharf. Then we got on the boat and sat down and waited for the rest of the school. When we got to the island we had something to eat and we set off for a walk. It was a long way. We go there and sat down and listened to Mr Fitzpatrick and he told us where our boundaries were. Then we went to the Room 2 and Room 3 side. The teachers set up the tents, but our tent was not set up. We waited and waited and waited. Finally it was there, then we got our luggage and put it in the tent and set up our sleeping bags. We went to the itchy hill. When I went for a swim I was stinging. In the talent show the boys did the haka and the girls sang “Honey, honey.” The next day we went to a big pohutukawa. We climbed really high. Me and Devon and Jon played armies. Then we ran back to the campsite and had American hotdogs. Brad, Devon and I went on the hill and slid down the big hill on card board. We set off back to the wharf. Some of the students went on the wharf and bombed off and made a big splash. Then two boats came. One was huge and one was small. The smallest left first and the big one stayed for us. Then everyone got on the boat and sat down and zoomed off. Back at Paihia I ran to mum and gave her a huge, huge hug, and my aunty. Then we got in our car and put on my seat belt and we drove off back to school and got my luggage and got back in our car. We went back home and I sat down and watched T.V. Tyler

**Great story Tyler. Sounds like you had lots of fun!!!!!! Hopefully one year I can come with you. Love Mum.**

On Wednesday we went off to camp. When we got to Urupukapuka Island Mr Rogers rang the bell and we all had to sit on the grass by the beach. When we were sitting on the grass Mr Fitzpatrick talked about the boundaries. Later on in the day me, Jade, Patience, Cocco, Mia and Mia’s dad played a game of Frisbee. The Frisbee we were playing with was green and looked like it is glowing when you threw it! Not long after that Mrs Davies said we could go swimming. While we were swimming, Honey girl got the kayaks out and we went kayaking! Jessy went first and then I went and then Patience! My best thing about camp was kayaking and the Burma trail and the pancakes we had for breakfast! On an old tree I saw a trap but nothing was in it. I saw lots of pohutukawa trees. I liked camp Chevylee

At six o’clock we went on the Dolphin boat. But before we went on it me and Nicole had bacon and eggs for breakfast. When I hopped out of the car I shivered like ice. But then my mum snuggled me then I was warm. Then it was time to go. I nearly cried. But I went anyway. One the first night I felt okay. In the morning I spewed up so I had to go home. When I was at school camp I went on the wet part of the beach. My feet were sinking under the sand. It was fun at Urupukaupuka Island. Isabella

At six o’clock we got up and ate a nice yummy breakfast. Me and Bella had bacon and egg. We drove down to the wharf. When I got out of the car it was cold and I shivered. We waited until our class arrived to get on the boat. When we got to Urupukapuka Island we did a treasure hunt and waited for the barge. Madison, Maija, Bethany and Bella stayed in my tent. When we put our tent up we put all our luggage inside. After our tent was up we went on the big hill and then rolly pollyed down. When I was at the bottom of the hill I was dizzy. We saw sheep and sheep poo! I didn’t go swimming because the water stung my legs. We went for walks. I love school camp at Urupukapuka Island. Nicole

Last Wednesday, my whole school went by boat to cool camp. When we got there we had to walk up a big big hill! After we had walked up the hill we put up our tents. I could not wait to go snorkelling! When we had done theat we went snorkelling and swimming. I brought my own snorkelling mask. Then we made ourselves at home. Fore dinner we had nacho's. I don't like the chips but I like the mince. Then we had dinner, it was yummy! After that we washed wour dishes. Then we had pudding. Next we got dressed for bed. Suddenly I fell asleep then Zoe woke me up then Juanita woke me up and I tried to go to sleep but we counld not get to sleep. Then everyone was quiet. Then I fell into a deep sleep. In the morning my dad said go back to sleep. He was asleep in a second. Next we got dressed and crept outside. It was still a little dark. Then my dad said, "Do you want hot chocolate?" We all said yes, at the same time. Finally it was breakfast. I had pancakes for breakfast. Pippiana

One dark morning a lot of people came to the crowded wharf. We had to find our class. When it got lighter, the boat started to move. Up and down, up and down, the boat did that all the way to camp. When we got down to the shore all of us had some lunch. At bed time i couldn't sleep because I always sleep with my cat Cucho. Then I got to sleep. Samantha

On Wednesday we went to camp and when we got there we had a feed. After we had a play and it was super fun. Then we went for a kayak. After that we went for a swim.. Next we rolled down the hill and we had a little sleep. Blake, me and Romeo went to sleep. When we woke up we had breakfast. Next we played armies. I was in Brad's team. We climbed up a tree then we started to shoot like "Boom!" Next we went back to camp and had a little feed again. I had a play on the hill and when I finished I got itchy and then I went to play on the sand. I went for a kayak and I was scared because we almost tipped over and Jesse crashed into us. Then I called out to big Matthew and I said, "Come and get me!" and he said, "Okay, okay." So he swam out to us and I said "I am not going kayaking again!" After that we took down the tents then we started to go home. When we got to the wharf we got on the boat. We sat donw and sped off. When we got to the wharf I ran fastest. When I got home I watched a movie. Makaveli

We went for a camp at Urupukapuka. The tent I was in was noisy as. I got put in another tent with Ngakau. We had a good sleep. I liked playing armies at Cable Bay with Tyler, Blake, Devon and Ngakau. I had the biggest gun. It was heavy as. It was called a shot gun. I had a pistol too. When they weren't looking, I sneaked up on them. The next day we went back on the boat. I had good fun with my mates at camp. The boat we went on was cool. Bradley

Last Wednesday we went on th ehuge boat. We went to camp. It was super duper fun. I liked it when I cast my fishing rod because a whole school of piper jumped up. Then Brad, Tyler and me slid down the itchy hill. When I went off the drop off, I flipped off. Blake

At camp we were at the top of the hll. When Austin wasn't sure about jumping down, "I don't know about this," he said. I humphed at him and said, "I'm a ram!" and frightened him off. When he fell he called out, "Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!" When he was on th eground he said sadly, "Ha ha ha, very funny!" After that we played dive-tiggy. Jackson won the game of dive-tiggy. He jumped on us and said, "Capuzi." At the talent quest we did jokes. I liked it when Austin said, "Do you want to hear a long joke?" Jackson and I agreed, "Yes" Austin shouted out, "Joooooooooke." In the tent at night everyone was snoring but me. Because I was wide awake because I couldn't go to sleep! The next day I drunk a nice and hot Milo. After that I ate a very yummy breakfast made by Ronnie. I loved camp. Matheus
