Year 4 Camp

Year 4 Camp. Blue Skies- kaiapoi

Last week Year 4 children went to Blue Skies at Kaiapoi.We stayed at the Scout Youth Park.
Our Favourite activites on the Thursday were doing the activities in the initiatives course,especilly the spinning barrell. Some of us enjoyed the fitness course challenging ourselves to a higher level. We all liked going on the flying fox that went over the water.

We had a concert at night which we all enjoyed.

On Friday we then packed up and drove to Bottle Lake Forest where we ate huhu grubs and made bivouacs out of branches and leaves. But the best part was when fireman Warren sprayed us with foam and we played in it.

we all went home tired but really happy.

Winter - a poem by Charlotte S.

Winter is a wonderful thing
a blizzard of happiness
a snow storm of beauty
oh yes winter really is
a wonderful thing.

snowflakes
falling on your nose
raindrops
falling into your mouth
sun shining
through the clouds
very slightly.

But here comes spring
it's a beautiful day
next year
when the daffodils are gone
we can play some other way.
