Pottery

Today (Thursday 16 March) I did pottery. Most of our finished licorice allsorts were finished and we put them on string so they ended up looking like this:

Don't they look awesome! Last time we also made cups and painted them and we all got them today! They were glazed last time we were at pottery with the licorice allsorts and here is s picture of my cup:

I was REALLY pleased with it and if you ever get the chance to do pottery, I hope you end up being as thrilled as I am with your creations!

Back From Camp!

This is a picture of 7DM and 7JA together after being at the Memorial Pools before heading back to school from Year 7 camp in Tauranga.
Camp was amazing! Here are some of the BEST activities we did at camp.

Waimarino. This is a giant water park with lots of team-building activities and things to do with friends and by yourself. One of my favourite activities at Waimarino was the hydro-slide. A big water slide which you have the choice of sliding down on  mat or in a kayak. I went down so many times and enjoyed every second of it.

Another activity is the Rock Hop. Jumping of cliff faces and riding down waterfalls is one of the best experiences I will have in my whole life. I was out of my comfort zone and doing it with my friends was awesome!

The final activity I am going to tell you about is SUP Boarding, Waka-ama and a Tour around the Mt.
First I did the walk around the Mt Maunganui and learnt  all the Maori names and stories of the Mt. Then I got changed and did SUP Boarding, (Stand Up Paddle Boarding), and we learnt how to sit, kneel and stand on the paddle boards. As well as learning how to push each other off the boards!!! The final activity I did the Waka-ama. Sadly, we started off going backwards in the waka! Then we almost crashed into at least 3 boats that were moored in the bay.

I LOVE CAMP!!!
