My personal favourite part of camp was probably... I'm not sure, i'm pretty sure nothing was my favourite but if I had to choose it would probably be the scavenger hunt.
That's my friend Bree

Talents Of A Camel
How to camels survive in the desert?
1) They have a thick coat of hair that helps them from the heat of the day and keeps them warm at night.
2) If there is no food or water the camel will survive of fat for energy, then the hump on they're back becomes small and soft.
3) It doesn't store water in it's hump... That sounds weird, anyway it doesn't so what it does is that when there is water it will drink a lot, about 20 gallons.......ANYWAY!! That water is stored in they're blood system.

Alternative Key
The alternative ways to show kindness to a new class member is... should I do for me or for an actual human being... eh i'll do both.
Human- invite them to hangout with you and be really nice to them
Me- Don't make eye contact, otherwise you might look weird, try to stay away from them (Not personal reasons I try to do that with people in general) be nice but to a certain extent.
Interpretation Key
It's nice to ask someone to the game because... well I mean you technically don't have too if they don't ask or if they already have friends to play with so imma just go back to being lonely..
Guess what it is....

15 minute writing
This was it, finally the day had come... my best friend had trained and trained for this moment, it was his dream to do a huge balancing act in front of a camera just to prove how cool he is.. now of course I knew he was lame and boring so i told him to just quit before he gets to far in.
He, of course didn't listen. I yelled at him even though I couldn't care less, that something would go wrong and he would fall to his death. SO! when the day came I made sure that when he made it to the middle that he wouldn't stay on for much longer... so yeah then he fell to his death, I mean I do hate being wrong after all... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Adverb at the Front Sentence Style
Today we have been learning about the adverb start sentence style.
Weekly, the mailman delivered our clothes that came from across the country.
Lazily I trained my dog to open and close the door in case I forgot or can't be bothered to do it.
Somewhere underground, a huge ant kingdom is training to destroy us.
Awkwardly, my face turned bright red as I realised my joke was a small insult.
Quickly, I managed to finish my work the night before we handed it in.
Yesterday, I fell face first into a muddy puddle and broke my nose.
Brutally, the dogs attacked the boar we were going to have for dinner.
Anywhere, anytime there could be a murder.
Stupidly, I got 20% on the test that the teacher said was the easiest one.
Eagerly, I raced into the hairdresser to get my Gray roots dyed!
Quietly, I covered my mouth because I felt as if I was going to throw up!
Gracefully, I got knocked to the ground by my brother.
Firstly, I grabbed my baking bowl and the ingredients.
Recklessly, I smacked into the wall while trying to run away.

Athletics day
On the day of Athletics day, me and Bree went to the shops to buy some food before the day we had because if we didn't have food we would die!
But we didn't actually do anything other than Discus so it wasn't that bad but lunch was DRAMA!!!
Oh yeah i'm also in Matai.
Then after it had all finished, me and Bree went to buy some more food and then walked to Haruatai park, and ate it all.
And i'm pretty sure that Miss Williamson saw us being pigs.
