Did you know that next week is year 7 & 8s camp and it is called “TAKE CHARGE”, I am really looking forward to it. My friends and I are really excited and what would happen in camp. I have already packed my things and still can not stop thinking about it. The reason why I am really excited is because I think this camp would be better than any other camp.
Yesterday we had a meeting in the street because the teachers had told us what group we were in and I was in the 'Motivatorz'. I like my group because I can still hang around with my friends. The leaders for 'Motivatorz' are Paulitia and Sione and the teacher for that group is Mrs Nua. After we had settle in to our group Mrs Nua had sent the groups to go learn a chant and then would do it.
On the first day of camp my group had to put up the tents and another groups tent. First we had to put the other groups base then we would do our own. Second we had to lay our own tent base and then put the pegs in and the other things. After we had done our tents we had to go and do the food for the hangi prep.
I really had a great time at camp and I wanted it to be longer. I think that if you would go to camp, you would not want to leave. When it was time for me to leave I didn’t want to go because of Rock ups activities were so cool that you would like to do it again. I think that camp was the best out of all and on the 21st.

Building Your Own Tent
Materials: 1 Hammer
Tent(3 people)
‘Fly’(1)
pegs (12)
poles (3)
Ropes (x8)
Method: 1. Find a clear level, grassed area away from over hanging branches of trees
2. Open the bag and place out the base
3. Get the pegs and hold down the corners by putting the pegs in
the holes on the side
4. Get out the 3 poles from a green little bag in the big bag that the base came from and connect them together so that there would be two black long poles and one grey pole
5. Get one black pole and stick one side of the pole on the ground and the other one opposite it on a diagonal
6. Get the other black pole and do the same on step 5 but on the other side.
7. Get the end of the black pole and put the clippers in the black pole and do the same with the rest
8. Get the poles and look for black little clips on the tent and clip them on to the pole. when you have finished you would have to get the fly and put it over the poles and get the pegs and peg the ropes to the grass so it doesn’t fly away
9. Check if the pegs are tight in the grass
10. Enjoy your tent.
