The Amazing Arthur's Pass Camp

                               The Amazing arthurs pass camp!
I woke up I thought YES! It’s wednesday i jumped out of bed and ran out to the kitchen. I saw mum I say to her ‘’Mum were going on camp today’’ she says ‘’I know it will be fun’’ I ate my breakfast and get my bags and put them in the boot then I hope in the car and drive to school.


I got to school I get my bags out of the car I place my bags the bag bay. I go see my friends and show them my phone. I
| also got my double up star war cards and show them I have five of the anakin cards. I give mathew one and finally the bus arrived. We get our bags and hop into the bus. I sat at the back with Declyn, Mark, me,  Matthew, Lochie and Sonny.


Finally We had arrived. I grabbed some bags I dropped them at the front door. We went into the lounge and got told where everything was and got told where the boundaries were. Now we got told what bunk room we were in and who with I was in bunk room 6 with Declyn, Mark, Matthew, Boyd And daren.

After we had  a quick brief we got into warm clothes and walked to devils punchbowl. At the top half of us went up to a waterfall and had a look and took some photos, and why you waited Logan (Our Instructor) taught us a game with rocks you needed 12 rocks and placed them on something in rows of five, four and three, So how you win is you can take rocks away and the last person to move a rock loses you can take to backwards of frontways but not diagonal.   


Next we did camp concert. I didn’t do one but all of the acts were good I liked sonny and Lochies because it was funny it was 6 ways to use a tennis ball and at the end sonny was supposed to hit the tennis ball lightly with a cricket bat but actually he smashed it and hit Lochie in the face and everyone started laughing.

The next morning  I woke up to  Matthew and Declyn talking I said what are you talking about they said look outside so I do WOW it’s snowing we jump out of our bunks and eat breakfast. After we had all done we went out and had a snow fight the boys kept hurting the girls and it got banned and went back inside.

Why Hunting Is Good

Hunting is a good sport to do if u don’t like hunting well read this it is 6 Positives And 1 why you shouldn’t hunt!         
24/8/16 WALT: Use SEEC
Everyone should go hunting with their kids. Hunting gets kids off the computer and out into the outside world. Hunting also teaches kids firearm safety.  Hunting will also raise fitness levels and teach kids about valuable survival skills. I encourage every parent to get out hunting with their kids.

24/8/16
Everyone should go hunting so you don’t have to pay. Hunting is a cheap way to get any meat for free. Hunting  teaches people to think before they buy because they could get free meat instead of paying. It also saves people paying for fuel. Instead of paying for fuel you can walk up into the bushes. I reckon everyone should go hunting to save money


29/8/16
Hunting can be bad because hunters kill endangered animals like elephants,Lions,Whales and white rhino with 6 only left because of big game hunters. There are 4 left in zoos and only 2 left in the wild. Endangered animals are rare and should be protected.

30/8/16
Everyone should go hunting to try different meat. I think hunting is good because you get to try different meat because like at the supermarket you don’t see much meat that is why you should go hunting and get it yourself. I think every single person should go hunting so they can try new things and so they can say they have tried it if someone asks you.
1.9.16
Hunting gets kids off the computer and gets them outside.
I think every kid should go hunting because it keeps you healthy and gets them fit. I think every single person should go hunting for that reason.`
1.9.16
Hunting is good because it's fun and you can get different type of meat. I think hunting is good because it's lots of fun you can jump bushes and play around. Hunting is good because you can get fresh meat and you can  get different met instead of meat at the supermarket. I think everyone should hunt because the meat tastes better and it’s lots of fun.
1.9.16

Going hunting will also raise your fitness level up. Hunting gets your fitness up because you jump around and are always walking around trying to find animals. Hunting is really good for you health. I think hunting gets your fitness up and keeps you healthy.
