Camp Letter

H.N.I

Dear Richard,

Thank you for giving up your time to come on camp, without you we would not have been able to go. Without you coming on camp it would not have been as fun or exciting. My favourite part of camp was when we came first in orienteering at Pandora Pond even though we didn’t know what we were doing. I also enjoyed going on the kayaks, but it was hard when we had to stand up in them and we all didn’t want to fall out because the water was freezing and we would get really cold.

Yours sincerely,

Lily Waites

The 'Bugman's' talk at Assembly

Today we had an assembly with Ruud Kleinpaste the 'Bug Man'. He talked about how if we didnt have bugs we wouldn't have what we have now. Here are some examples that Chloe B and I have remembered from the 'Bugman's talk.

• ⅓ of our food is produced by bees/bugs.
• The Blue butterfly only comes down to the jungle floor if it sees something that is the same colour
• When sloths go to the toilet they slowly crawl down the tree and make a little hole, then hug the tree and go toilet.
• Large pray mantis ate a hummingbird.
• Scorpions glow in ultraviolet rays
• A sloths brain ist he size of a walnut.
• Orchid bees can talk to each other
• Sloths take ¾ of an hour to go toilet.
• If there were no bugs in the world we wouldn’t have any beef or protein.

Camp 2015

At camp we did lots of fun activities. They included raft buiding, archery, mud slide, flying fox, bivouac building and much more.

My favourite activity was probably the raft building because we all got to work together and it was really fun. On the flying fox it was a little bit scary because when you get over the hill you are really high from the ground.

I really enjoyed camp and I liked all of the activities.
