Pataua+North+Camp

//** Pataua North Camp**//

On the 7th to 9th of March Room1 and Room2 went to Pataua North Camp. On the first day we set up the camp. After we had something to eat we walked over to a small stony bay and jumped off the bridge. It was scary for some of us, but luckily we had a kind adult jump in first! We had to follow the current until we reached Mrs MacGregor, then we swam into the bay. Some of us didnt jump in at all, and didnt get wet, so we went for a swim in another bay that was closer to camp. Then we did Estuary study where we reasearched about the Estuary. We used the thinker's keys to create activities that help us learn about the Estuary. We went to yet another beach which went out to the ocean. We played Beach Bullrush, but some of us played touch bullrush instead. We headed back to a delicious dinner. We had Hamburgers, and Jon's meat from Odwyer's Butchery was delicious, on both nights!

The next day we started rotations after a delicious breakfast. There was Fishing, which sadly we didnt get any fish that were suitable for eating. We used them for bait. They were way to small to feed a family, let alone the whole camp! Waterslide, which a lot of us got tons of rashes from, but we kept doing it any way! Cooking, where we made and cooked delicious pikelets and cooked some yummy pipi fritters! And finally, Sailing and canoeing. There were two sailboats which needed two people each, and about 6-12 kayaks which could hold one person each. Some of us got to go right out to the bridge and back! Then we had a delicious dinner. We had an awesome game of spotlight and went to bed. The next day we packed up, and went on a scavenger hunt. We took photos of objects on the scavenger hunt. They were things like... A wet adult, a crab, a boat, and even your whole team jumping off a sand dune. Before we went home, we all sat together in a group and took our group photo. Then we had a lolly scramble. Then, we finally went home!
