Camp and Squash
Hi Again,
On Tuesday the 8th of April my class went on camp at Ohope. It was a long drive from Te Awamutu Intermediate and we were all pleased to arrive. We went to the hot pools for about an hour and a half that night and came back before dinner.
On Wednesday my class went to the High ropes and the Maze. At the high ropes we all put our harnesses and our helmets on before going in the air. I went on 3 of the 6 high rope choices. At the first one I went on there were 5 wooden planks to jump from to the next one. This was difficult but I managed to get across. The second one I went on was a twisty ladder. This was pretty easy but very fun. The last one I went on was my favourite. I had to climb high on a pole and stand up at the top and jump to try and catch a trapeze. I missed the trapeze when I jumped but I had fun doing this. We later drove to the maze getting lost many times. I didn’t enjoy the maze as much as high ropes. We were looking for pictures and answers rather than trying to find our way out. We went to the hot pools again that night.
On Thursday we went kayaking, fishing and walked to Shelly Bay. While fishing I caught one fish which wasn’t very big. I had lots of fun kayaking and playing games in the kayak. I thought the walk to Shelly Bay was too long but looking for pipis along the beach was fun. We went to the hot pools again that night and had a BBQ there. We left camp on Friday after having a great time there.
On Friday and Saturday I was in a squash tournament in Hamilton. I played 3 games winning all my games easily. I won boys division 2.
