Argentina Empanadas
the Empanada has a triangular shape and the outside of it has a goldeness & Ochre texture. 
it also has an crispy look but also looked like a dumpling.
the smell of it is a bit similar to a freshly baked sausage bun or a bakery pie and it also has a meaty and spicy scent. when i took a bite i could taste tomatoes and rasins. the flavor had a little spice which was nice and the pastery tasted like the smell. the flavor also had  a bit of a spanish taste because the spanish colonized. 

maybe you should have a try of Empanadas .
Adios .

YEAR 8 CAMP 2019

 YEAR 8 CAMP 2019
Last week on wensday the 15th of may we went to the year 8 leadership
camp which is a annual event that happens every year. the yr8 camp was held in thames at a christian valley camp and it is held so the year 8s can learn leadership and come back to school
as leaders.
First day at camp.
 as we hoped on the bus at about nine everyone was so excited for camp.
we sat in the bus for about 1 hour and a half then we arived and everyone 
hoped off the bus. 
I smiled as i smelled the fresh air outside then everyone started putting their bags
in ther cabins so i did as well.
Activities.
all the activities were so fun especially when everyone participated which they did.
the activities were:low ropes , rail jiggers, paint ball , 
The groups/Team were: kauri , coromador , thames and kauweranga 
i was in kauri
My highlights
My highlights of camp was proberly nearly everything but what i most loved about camp was archery , paint ball and concert night/dancing.

Concert night is my favorite highlight because it was really fun and my group which is called kauri preformed a play about an famous princess fairtale which everyone know it was cinderella
but with a bit of GI style added to it. the part i played was the curtains that opened
and closed so i had to dance gracefully with friends. WATER GARDEN. My second highlight was after camp because

 we got the opportunity to go to a water park which was pretty great until i saw ducks . The ducks scared me a bit, i thought they would bite me. LOL
What i learnt.
what i've learnt from camp was how to become a leader and to lead people
to do the right. another thing i've learnt was what we say, i learnt how to say good things but mostly to myself.

Thank you
 i'd like to say thank you to the school who helped get us there also
the people who bought stuff from our fundraisers and teachers

another example is that welington is the 
capital of NZ which is where the beehive is 
and it is at the bottom of the north island so it
