My camp recount
On wednesday 26 last week room and the parents went no camp to hanmer springs forest camp. on camp we did swimming, mountain biking and tree climbing. We went there for our team building.
First we got to camp and ate lunch. Then we got back in the cars and went to the walk. When we got to the walk we got out of the cars and we started walking. It was hard but we made it to the top and the view was nice. Then we started running back down and went back to camp.
First we got our bikes then we had a safety briefing. We had to bike around the park to changing the gears after that we biked over to the forest. When we got there we waited for the other people to get there. When we were all reddy we set off into the forest! It was fun and nice. It felt so good biking through the forest!
The fresh air was so relaxing. Then we went back.
First we got our togs on then we got in the cars. When we got to the pools we wear playing the song baby really loud in the car. When we got in nate and I went on the hydroslides it was so fun! And we played tag in the lazy river. Then we got back into our close and heddy back to camp and had dinner.
It was fun but there was too many bees but it was fun and good to spend time with my class mates.

My opinion towards Tik Tok is i like to watch them but not as much to make them. i made a few tiktoks with my cousin but besides from that I just watch them. I think it's good that people post tiktoks because they are sharing their dance moves with the rest of the world.

One morning in Florida, in 1984, Nora and her family were packing the car for a day trip to the carnival.
Nora was stuffing the picnic basket and filled it up with salami, bread rolls, 2 big packets of chips for the family, juice boxes for everyone, and some lollies for a snack on the way. When she was finished packing the basket, she put it in the boot of the car. Then she went back inside to get her jacket and go to the toilet. She heard the car start, but she had to go, she was busting! There were no other options. When she finished she came out to get in the car, but it wasn't there!
There were no cars in sight, every car from her street has disappeared! She ran down her street and tried to find someone to help her. Then she sprinted back to the house to get the food because she thought she might get hungry. She wondered if her parents may have started going to the carnival? But the carnival was ages away, so she would have to try and walk.
She started walking down the scary streets of emptiness. She walked past her friend's house, her friend's name was Emma Emma was very tall, as tall as a giraffe. She had hair that dragged down to her ankles. Nora saw something move, so she slowly crept up the driveway and saw her friend sitting on the couch looking scared. Emma was going to the carnival too, so they walked to the carnival together, in hope that they would find their parents. In the end they made it to the carnival and found their parents and realised they just accidentally left without her and lived happily ever after. Nora felt relieved and kind of angry that her parents would forget her. She vowed that she would never trust her parents again.

Sacred
Something sacred is holy, devoted to a religious ceremony, or simply worthy of awe and respect. ... Sacred is an adjective used to describe a person or thing worthy of worship or declared holy. It usually appears in a religious context, but an object or place set aside for a particular purpose can also be sacred. This weeks virtue is Sacred. We had to make a blog post about something that is sacred. I decided to choose the cross because it is sacred
