Dear Mr Ford,

                  

Thank you for giving up a week of travelling with your family to come to camp so you could help Nikau learn more about the environment. It was cool when we saw you again. Thank you SO MUCH for making the sentence game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I enjoyed the walk to Lou’s Lookout because we got the chance to see a very little amount of glowworms, while the great view on the Lou’s Lookout platform was very high and misty. The only downside was the big holes on the side’s. It FREAKED me out!!!(Kind of)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something else fun was the caving because some were very challenging, like bat poo alley where we had to shimmy across the very TINY gap, and it was HARD! In the end I could not do it (don’t Judge me). Hey, at least I tried.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last exciting bit was the sentenced hunt because it was fun looking for an white arrow with a word on it. I forgot what it said but just to make it clear, it was yours that you made and it was about Michael Noonan. It was awesome when we went through the bushes and I tripped over a twig. (WOW) Thank you for making this awesome challenge and I’m sure we all enjoyed it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fun fact: The Maori who shot Michael Noonan were well hidden and camouflaged, allowing them to shoot poor Michael, not knowing he made it. He is said to be wandering around Camp Kaitawa headless, while brushing campers on their shoulders, looking for the Captain. If he thinks he has found the Captain he will place a note next to that person and leave camp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again thank you for coming to camp so you could help us do Fun activities and hikes.

Yours sincerely,

Jaedyon Coombs

Photo's From Homework

                         Engraving experiment

The objective of this experiment is to engrave picture's onto a key ring. I had to follow instructions carefully so Me and Mum were safe and also to make sure the experiment worked :) Even though we followed all the instructions it failed badly. But that's okay because we can try again another day.  

This is me in the weird-looking
safety goggles.

The photo with all the materials:
Safety goggles, 1 plastic cup, 1 pair of
tweezers, 3 toxic chemicals and
4 little metal surface plates+
little key chain ring.  

This is  our selection of the pics we
wanted to do.
My one is the cross and
Mums is the stars.
They are both just starting
material.  

This is my hand pouring toxic
chemicals into a
plastic mini bowl.

This is the result of after we put the surface's
in the plastic cup full with chemicals.
 (Well still wrapped. P.S: It completely failed:(. 

My Special Place

My Special Place

                                    🏡The Neighborhood🏫

The tall, shadowy buildings towered over me like they were about to gobble me up thinking I’m a Jumbo meat lovers and hawaiian pizza. They were as tall as a hundred Elephants. I slowly dragged my body across the freshly paved sidewalk my head turned itself to the side so it will witness the shouts of hyper kids to the waves of the elderly. My legs took control as I admired the block while sucking on my annoying thumb sucker (I threw it out because of the taste). I toppled over two toy cars left out on my porch.  ‘Off!’ The long branch on my towering tree house swung at me like a HellBat. ( From Terraria’s underworld.)I snacthed my money out of my draw and climbed down to the sidewalk.

   `     🚌The Road🚌

The dust from the monster truck wheels gave me a little tickle on my ankles like a baby crab heading towards my pounding chest. As I rode my bike down to The Cafe I skidded the poor wheels to a stop to buy lemonade from fresh, clean Lemonade stands that sold refreshing drinks as well as lemons. The next stop was the location: The Cafe. Mmm… those hunger busters were the BOMB! They were as tasty as a million fries in my paper bag. As I fled back to my treehouse there was a suspicious looking skull with a terrifying grin and a chipped tooth on the grass. I bent over and touched it, then everything went Black.

                                   💻Inside the game💻

The moment I opened my eyelids, there was some pixelated creature waiting to greet me. “Hello, my name is Jacob. I am your guide that provides all the tips and tricks you need. ” He said. I stood there wondering where I was. Then it hit me: Terraria. Terraria is a adventuress game where you can explore, create and get NPCs to move in with you. “Hey, welcome back chief!” cried the villagers. “Oh yeah, you don’t talk much. Sorry”  I greeted them and moved on to building things in my village. Right at the moment when I got a new NPC, My bestie,Ryan !, The goblin army forged an attack on us. Everyone apart from me and my bestie (and guards) ran inside their cottages. “ Launch the cannons!” one of them ordered. BOOM! BANG! KAPOW! Off! I cried. The leader of the goblin army had got to me in STEALTHY mode! ‘ACK ACK’ was all I managed to choke out before everything went Black (Really).                  

                        🔪Weapons🔫 “Ohhhh……” I moaned. I was lying on the grass trying to figure out what happened. “ Die you peasant!” Came a familiar voice. The Goblin Leader! It was coming from my town! I limped to over to the voices when someone bowled me over. “Ryan!?!” I cried. “What Are you doing here? The town’s over in the forest. What happened?” I asked. “Everyone's being held hostage over in the secret bunker!” He replied. “We should head-” “Hey! Are you guys Ok?!” came a voice. “I’m Zach. I was heading to a town but then everything went red. Do you live in the town down there?” “Yeah. Follow us.”  We replied. As we ran through the long, thickening grass raindrops tickled my ears and Ryan fell over (Oh WOW) “Hey, look. I think I found a chest with 58 Full Sets of stardust armor, 90 Pulse Bows, 20 Shadow beam Staffs and 100 sets of Blood stone tools!!!” Cried Ryan. “Sweet! let's go save our village!” I declared. We equipped the shiny weapons, armor and tools then set off to fight the Goblin (Dramatic music from Ryan) Duna duna duna duna dun dun  “Ok let's shut up and move to fight the goblin leader” Ryan said (WOW Ryan what a PARTY POOPER). “Goblin leader, give us the village or ELSE!!! (Dun Dun Dun)” I ordered. “Or what. You gonna give me candy? Ha Ha Ha!” laughed goblin leader.
“You will DIE!” We replied.

All about me

  

Hobby   Lego is a fun building experience that people like to create cities with because without it, mega bloks would rule the world and make everyone miserable. Luckily, Lego gives you an opportunity to collect and explore! (P.S. they have a theme park called Legoland in california!!!). Minifigures come in every Lego city set and have awesome builds and details. There are many themes to list like Star Wars, Technic, Creator and many, many more.

Best Memory                 My favourite memory is when Me and my Bff (Shoutout to Con) went to splash planet. The Bombs we managed to rip was pretty BAD. But forget about that because we're not here read about the baddest bombs of 2017, aren't we? We are here to talk about my Special day out at Splash Planet! It was the best because we had hot chips (Shout out to Nana:)) and burgers and there only 3 of us!!!

Fun Fact A fun fact about me is that I have 1 cat and a Kitten. And plus, there’s A fluffy  cat that my mum calls Mr Longbottom. My two cats Bob and Jerry are Literally Psychopaths! They claw mums chair and run around the house like wild boars! Your lucky you don't live with me. Those cats like to catch birds, and guess what? Jerry, she kills birds and brings them into mums room and goes and walk away with the bird on the carpet. lucky i'm not mum:)

What Makes Me Laugh: What makes me laugh is when Bobbie and Jerry play tag and slide into things on that shiny, glistening lino floor. (The rules that I made up are: Free for all and you can go Anywhere on the property apart from my room, if you start eating your paused until you stop, do not even look at me while your playing and the last rule is very important: there are two modes: Hardcore or easy. If you chose hardcore you have to play outside otherwise you can play anywhere you want). Oh and it kills me with laughter when they dig holes and do a bomb.
