Ontv studio
This was at Ontv studio when we were dressing up for the live show. It was a bit creepy knowing that the video was going on youtube for the whole world to see, but you get over it, well most people did. Even though it was scary we had fun watching the video and laughing at ourselves.
when have you been on tv?

Flying Fox
Hi everyone,
We wanted to show you this really cool video that was taken by Barnaby. He came with us on camp and brought his camera along. On Friday we went on the Flying Fox and while he was on it he took a video. It looks like he had great fun on it and it looks good to. Did you have fun on the flying fox, we did? What was your favorite part of the week? Why?

Abseiling
We are at OPC doing the abseiling. It is fun but intimidating at the same.
At the bottom it was a weird and boring wait and we all went crazy.
Have you ever gone crazy over waiting for something?

Sailing Day!!!!
Tuesday was the day we went sailing it was freezing cold in the yacht.My group was Natasha, Cait, Gabby, Jacob and Kaitlin. We all agreed it was the coldest day sailing. Natasha and Me were always steering and pulling the ropes but I didn't get to steer anyway.
The thing we liked about sailing was steering and touching the water with our hands while the yacht tipped over.
What was your favourite thing about sailing?.

Recycling Art
This week we did our recycling art. We had to bring recycling things and make art or things that we like Anna Esme and I made a flower. Nicole made a beach pattern.
What did you make?
Boats and a lighthouse
Room 11 and 12 did some artwork using recycling. we painted it white so we could see the spray paint over the top. Hannah and I decided to do blue and red on top of the art. The bits kept coming off so we had to glue them back on.
What did you make out of your recycled stuff?

Windy Wellington!
Its been like this all week long-non stop! Now you can see how much Wellington deserves this title! The whole of New Zealand is covered with rain! What do you think of all this weather? When we went out there it was really hard to see with all that mysterious fog! Have you been outside lately? What we want to do right now is to sit by the fire enjoying a hot chocolate!
