So I am finally home from the SGHS year thirteen camp to Pounawea, we had an amazing time doing so much stuff, a lot of the activities were done in our house groups (batten,Gordon, Mansfield, McStay, Trail and Williams). These activities included;

Making rafts, even though my house (Mansfield) only got two barrels while all the others got three (We'll get extra points for being pioneers  guinea pigs)

Doing yoga and tai chi

Having a sand castle competition. The theme for this was 'NZ natives', but we were told that we could put a twist on it, so we made a Tui beer bottle.



This was our inspiration. For those of you who don't know, a Tui is a native New Zealand bird with a small amount of white feathers on their necks.They are black and sing absolutely beautifully.

 

This is how it turned out. We were all really proud until we came last because it wasn't a native animal.

 

We also made tiny rafts to float candles down a small river.

 

Mansfield also came second in making and presenting a skit, and we won the house chant comp.

All in all we had an amazing time, I find it hard to believe that this is our seventh year at high school, but we are definitely not the shy bunch of 11 year olds we were when we started.

 

 

Have a great day :)
