The weekend I had at my mum's Awhina

Tieing The Knot!

This is a short video that shows how to tie a reef knot. I hope this helps you. A reef knot is sometimes called a "thief" knot because sailors used this to tie up their belongings and it was easy to tell if someone was in your things. Interesting!

Orienteering

When we did orienteering I was partnered up with Annexe. When we got to Tusi Tala Mr J was already waiting for us. He said to pick one person to be A and one person to be B because we were getting mixed up. When it was time to go we had to start by room 4 with number 16. When we started to get the clues we kept going back to the same letter all over the place. We asked Miss Squires if she could help us but she couldn't get the word. Then the trumpet rang and we had to go back to Mr J.

Kayaking at camp

On the second day of camp, we were the last group to go kayaking. When we got there it was low tide so we had more problems to deal with than other groups. I really enjoyed kayaking even though we had to carry them to the beginning of the water.

Roller blading

Slipping and getting hurt, we were skating. I think Erene kept on falling down and that's how he got an injury on his head. When I got my roller blades I said to myself "can I skate?" When I first went in the circle I thought it was easy and then I fell down.

Rock climbing

Have you ever been rock climbing? Well let me tell about this time I went rock climbing. When I first went rock climbing I was scared but then I overcame my fear of heights. The first wall I went on was the letter wall. I saw the big wall, I was wondering if I was allowed to go on it, but I was to scared.

The Missing Togs!

On Sunday the 31st of January, it was my birthday. It was not just my birthday though, it was also my sister Denim's and my auntie Laws. When I first woke up, I felt really, really happy that my birthday was finally here. We all went to the Swim-a-rama Pools and I was so excited to go. When we got to the pools, I saw this person on the other side of the window. I didn't really know who it was, but when I really looked at her, I discovered that this person was really my cousin. Next, I went to get changed but I couldn't find my togs! After looking for them for a while, I suddenly remembered that I already had them on. Let me tell you, I was laughing hard out! I did have a great time at the pools and I think it was the best birthday ever.
