During the holidays I went to an amazing camp with my brother that was in Henderson Valley .
When
my brother and I arrived at the camp we were put into the same room
with ten other people and I started unpacking my stuff and made my bed.
After everyone had arrived at the campsite we were all called to the
dining room where camp dad told us what actives we were doing and that
the theme of the camp was fear factor.
Next
we all broke up into our activity groups and and we went to rock
climbing. It was really exciting for me because I have never been rock
climbing before and I was a bit scared because I don't like high places.
When I was climbing it was great but it was a little bit difficult and I
set a goal that I would touch the roof and I did get to the top.
After
that we went to have lunch in the dining room and it was pizza which
was brilliant. Soon after that it was free time and we got to do
whatever we wanted to do and I went to have a sleep. About two hours
later I woke up and everyone was going to the hall so I went as well.
When I entered the hall I found my brother and all of the camp started
playing a game called rag tag where everyone had a rag and they had to
get the other peoples' rag and we played that for about an hour.
Later
on the bell rang for dinner and everyone rushed up to the dining room
and we were seated in our rooms. We were then called up to get our food
and we went back to our seats to eat. The food was stupendous because it
was my favourite food lasagne. After that we went to have room chill
time where I had a rest and read my book.
Afterwards
we brushed our teeth and got ready for bed and went to lie down on my
bed. We were allowed to talk for a while so I talked to my new friends
but they were all too tired to talk. Then I read my book again and then I
fell asleep. When I woke up everyone was already up and got dressed and
I got dressed too. Later on when everyone was ready we went to
breakfast and started the days activities and my first one was going to
the water hole.
Soon
after we were asked to go and get changed into our swimming gear and go
down to the water hole. When everyone was at the water hole we had to
put life jackets on and wait for the leaders to tell us to go into the
water. Next we were told that we could go into the water and I was the
first one to jump into the water. As soon as I touched the water I
screamed because the water was freezing cold and I jumped back out.
Everyone else was too scared to go into the water but then the leaders
picked people up and through them into the water. I jumped in the water
again but that time I stayed in the water and it started to get warm and
I swam to the other side and went up the slide. When I went down the
slide I smashed into the water and water went up my nose and in my mouth
but it didn't stop me from going back up and doing it again.
Following
that was the start of Fear Factor which the whole camp went down onto
the field. Everyone had a gross task to do and my one was about food.
The first task was my one about food, We had a bucket full of scrapes
and there were five marbles in it. The task was we had to get all of the
marbles out with a blindfold on and the first person to get them all
was the winner. When we started I picked up the bucket and tipped all
the scrapes out and began to feel around for the marbles and it was
gross. Then I found one, then two and then all the rest of the marbles
in the same place and I got up and took my blindfold off and saw that I
was first and I jumped for joy because I had got 1000 points for my
group.
Finally
we had the prize giving and my group won. I was amazed and I couldn't
believe that we had won. Our group was called up to the stage and we got
a bag of treats and we were the first to go. As we left we got a packed
lunch and I said bye to all my new friend and that made me feel sad.
Then I met my brother and we were picked up by my foster family.
Overall I loved camp and I had an amazing time and I hope I get to go again.

The Lost King
Peter
King is an weird and unsociable teenager with many odd hobbies. He was
forced to go on a school wilderness camp in the Wanoom Peninsula with a
14km walk to the camp site at Whalers Cove.As soon as they get to the camp site Peter is put in a group with Emily, a girl he has never talked
to, Bethany the girlie girl in the camp and Sully the school bully.
The first task they had to do was a navigation exercise in a dense
forest. They were given a sheet of instructions, a map, a GPS and a
compass.They were told that they had to find four markers in the forest.
As soon as they start the exercise Sully takes charge of the group and
takes the lead. They start taking short cuts and as soon as they know
it they are lost. Now all they have is a map, a compass, a dying GPS, a
useless sheet of instructions and each other.
My favourite character is Peter King because at the beginning of the story he wasn’t liked and didn’t have many friends. He developed and became more manly and was starting to have friends near the end of the story. At the end of the story he had become friends with all of his team mates and had become a responsible and brave person.
I like this book because it has lots of adventure and it has a thrilling plot to it.I also I like it because of the way main characters develop.
One thing I don’t like about the story is that it is predictable because I can predict what's going to happen next.
I would recommend this book because it has an awesome plot and is thrilling. I think the appropriate age group is 11yrs and up and I have learnt that teamwork is easier than doing it alone.

“Caught Being Good Dad”
Dear Mrs Baker
Hi my name is Joseph, I'm 12 years old and I am in Room 8.
I think my dad should get the “Caught Being Good Dad” award because he has been my mum and my dad for many years. My dad's name is Mike Peters and he is 45 years old.He is unemployed and he gets paid to look after my brother and I.He is a brilliant cook and we always have food on the table.He has looked after us when we were sick and helps us with everything we do.
He is a slim, medium built man and is a loving father.He has black hair but has a lot of grey.He has brown eyes and has a dented nose because it has been broken before.My dad has a tough job because he has to do all of the jobs a mother does. He used to read us stories every night and put us to bed with one of his caring songs and we loved it.He devoted his life to us and we are are so grateful for all he has done. He is a generous man and does all of the house work.
Dad trained my rugby team when I was 7yrs old and did a great job.He has given me life skills as I grew older like treat women right and to look after my little brother.He was there on my first day of school and helped me to start a good year at school.We did training in the morning that my dad set up,we had all the fitness gear and it was fun.He wanted to be a better dad than his dad who had told him everything he touches turns to poo and he achieved his goal.He has worked tirelessly all my life to give me a better future and I am grateful for my dad.
Please consider him because he deserves it.He has been an astonishing father all my life and I would like to give him something back.
