camp 2017 lakes ranch

I hop out of the car not knowing what to expect
i'm thinking "oh this is going to be easy".30 minutes later.....
the mud run!!!!!:we follow the lady who's showing us the track and. I think man i regret what I said earlier ... I take a deep breath and run through the mud through the swamp it is so tiring. I go under the bridge. And yes the muddy part I take another step whoa my leg is halfway in the mud it takes me 2 times as slow as i went through the swamp now its the final league steep up steep down the hills on grass. that's what it was like. I almost fall down at the end whew . That was just one of our activities
we had three more and the talent show and toast marshmallows the other activities were horse riding kayaking and rock climbing.....
day 2 scavenger hunt not much of a scavenger
hunt cause there was no prize but it was hard I had to rip a piece of gorse from a plant it was painful I got one in my hand we finished in something like 26 minutes cause some were hard to find we also did orienteering and we used compass for this and raft building and slugun shooting . day three we went to some natural hot springs with a waterfall
and when it hits your back under the waterfall and then we went home.by Jacob Sheridan year 5 Pirongia school NZ.

In the production i’m the kiwi our production is about 3 children who get out of school and make bad decisions.

My reflection

Maths:in maths we have been doing our mixed groups fractions

Reading: in reading i’m reading Brian's hunt from Gary Paulsen.

First video!!!!

 Pirongia needs a skatepark!!!!
 you should know that there is a skatepark in TA . Second why don’t we have one in pirongia ,we wouldn’t have to drive far.
We could have a 6 foot halfpipe that people would
Be able to do big tricks with the amount of air you get, there could be smooth concrete so you could get lot’s of speed to jump and do tricks.

Some of the best scooter riders in the world
Would come to the skatepark like rwilly
(Ryan williams), claudius vertesi, funk bros
, dakota and hunter schuetz and they might
Teach us some cool tricks so we might grow up and be awesome like them. So are you with me let’s do this for scooters!!!!. When i mean scooters i'm actually meaning skateboards, roller blades, bikes
,scooters ok you get it in that case let’s get into it.

How people will enjoy this:kids can practice their tricks and become better.people can enjoy the outdoors so they can be outside not inside,so people won’t just be watching
Screens they could actually spend some time outside . it’s fun for all ages from 2-3 to 30-35
People  can skate bike and play together,
Kids can have fun together and hang out with others,and encourage each others  when they try new tricks.


Skateparks provide a physical activity for kids not interested in traditional team sports.  It is a physical education, you can exercise * your limbs (legs arms) * you need to exercise to stay fit and healthy. People won’t just be watching screens they could actually exercise.  It is safer than the streets because there is a 30% chance you can get ran over. People have been wanting a skatepark for a while.


it’s good for people have nothing to do.
There are not enough skateparks around!,there is a really good chance to be in the fresh air.
Is my speech convincing enough for to feel like we should have a skatepark in pirongia ,if you want to get fit you could try this and see if you like it. The fresh air helps your breathing,if we have lot's of people wanting this the council

 Might want to do it so that they won’t have people
Always asking them to put a skatepark in pirongia
.thank you for reading!!!.if you want a
skatepark please read this and see if it’s convincing if it is i’ll love it if you support me cause the more people we have the more convincing it is. A skate park is packed with obstacles,halfpipes,quarter pipes,full pipes,bowls,

My reflection

Maths: in maths we have been doing our rotations as usel

And i feel a bit out of my comfort zone doing our maths,

Once i know how to do it i can do it simply.

Writing: in writing it has been fun doing our speech topic

My speech topic is how skateparks help the community,

We had to lay out the 3 main reasons i am feeling excited

Because the school might think that i made a really good speech

So the waipa might say that they will build a skatepark in Pirongia .reading:in reading i am reading the abominables at

Home and the boy and the biscuit tin at school.

My reflection.

MATHS:in maths we have been learning division.i feel like i need some help but i’ve gone from thumbs down to thumbs to the side.i’m working quite hard to do better,so i can do big equations using division.

READING:last night i started reading diary of a wimpy kid i Think i'm going to enjoy it. But it’s kind of a teenage book.i just finished fintan fedora the world's worst explorer AND I LIKED THAT!!!!!

WRITING:in writing i’m finding it hard to concentrate and i need a little more time to finish things.by JACOB.S

My  reflection.

I am sorry but this week we have been doing fun work . not like maths,reading,writing and maths.

Mad libs: we have been doing mad libs this week and i think it shouldn’t be a school activity

Because it is really fun and funny we did it on redkid.net

Wacky web tales and wordblanks.com

This week we are a loud to sit at another desk or table.

Gym sports : this week we went to gym sports where we did gym and went to the                       YMI TE AWAMUTU and it was really fun.
