Years 6 camp recount

WALT: Summarise a week long experience into a recount.
This story is all about years 6 campers. We went to Camp Bentzon on Kawau Island. Kawau Island is the most beautiful place I have seen in the North Island
in my life. Everyone was very excited and very happy about going to camp.


There were four different groups and they were Bentzon, Mansion,Kawau and Catz. In each group there was a’s and b’s, each group had two leaders, a girl and a boy. I was in Bentzon A and in my group my leaders were Talita and Hosea. Some of my favorite subject on Camp Bentzon was kayaking, raft building and confidence course.


The first thing, we did was sailing and  my partner was Talita. First when Talita and I got into the water, I was scared. When we came back from the sailing it was morning tea and we had some cookies. Our next activity was the confidence course, at confidence course we needed to be as dry as we could.


Before we had dinner each group needed to set tables everyday. First night we watched camp movies.On second night we played spotlight and it was a lot of fun. It was the best night in my life. The next night it was the concert night and bentzon performed school ambassadors. We came second with catz on the concert night. mansion came first and kawau came third.


On the last day, Mr Goodwin said, we were playing volleyball. It was Bentzon A vs Mansion A. Then we played, bush baseball, then touch and swimming. Then
we packed up our suitcases and bags and then we put them in a room. We waited for the ferry to come and we stopped at the sandspit and we unloaded our bags and suitcases from the ferry. Then we put our gear on the bus and we had our yummy lunch. After we had our lunch, we jumped on the bus and when everyone got on the bus. Everyone was very tired. We got to school and we unloaded the bags and suitcase from the bus. Everyone took their bags and suitcases and went home.   


This week we are writing our camp recount. I hope in the future I can write more recount like this.

Our market day recount

Walt: Write an interesting and detailed recount


On the market day, so many people were excited and happy. We take each turn and 2 people go to buy
and 2 people stay at the shop. People bought a lot of food from kitchen and before the market
day, we had an auction and if we want to use our pt and pieces at the auction we can use or we can save  
for the market.  


We are having our market day which was an awesome way to use the money we had been saving. Most people were wasting all their pt and pieces, but some people hadn't. Now we know how to use the money. After the bell we go into our trade and enterprise group and people are working
hard.  


Before the market, we were getting ready and making posters. We set up our tables and we hung up our bunting. We stick our posters in front of the tables. We set up our tables next to miss lavakula class. We put
on the tables a sheet and we put our candles on the tables. We were now ready.


Our group are selling skull candles and orange candles and we sold all the candles we had made
and  we got a lot of pt and pieces. When we are selling visitors are come to our shop and bought
our candles. Our business group is homeware.   


I can’t buy a lot of things because I was selling first and then when I go to buy there nothing  else to buy
it’s all sold out and I bought loom band bracelet and maths book cover and some food.  


I thought about the market day, It’s was good and everybody was happy and teachers are happy.

if you buy the big skull candles you get buy 1 get 1 free.


when we are at the trade fair we split up 3 people stay and wait for people to order 1 of us go to order and buy
some food,loom headphone or other thing. The people go and order, they have 15 minutes to buy or order. When
it’s 15 minutes and we switch again. When we got our product the teacher take out from our internet bank.


I wonder what it’s gonna like on market day and miss Lavakula said in our business group if we make the
most order Miss Lavakula will give us price. I can’t wait to market day.
