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

WAYS TO HELP THE POOR

have ever thought of how you can help the poor well here a some ideas and
ways to help

Fundraising if you really want to help you could fundraise . you could fundraise sell stuff

you don’t use any like toys when you start to grow a bit older your toys start to get older so you wouldn’t actually want to play with it so you could sell it but if it’s something you have had ever since you were little and gives you any memories i recommend you don’t sell it unless you want to.here are 3 other fundraising ideas you could do IDEA 1 a bake sale You can’t beat a good old fashioned bake sale. Ask people to buy some  sweet treats you could also sell them at school if you were allowed to. Idea 2 Sausage sizzle A Kiwi favourite, you can’t beat a sausage sizzle am i right or am i right right anyway here's my 3rd idea a garage sale clear out your wardrobe and take out all the clothes you don’t need any more and take out all the other stuff u don’t wanna use anymore and that's some of the fundraising ideas i have so far hoped you liked them
