Lake Whakamaru Camp Photos

Lake Whakamaru Christian Camp Overview

On the 13th of December 2011 Room 3, Matatoki School went camping at Lake Whakamaru Christian Camp.

There were four dorms that the children slept in but the adults all got separate cabins! :-( 

In Dorm One was Brooke, Lily and Sam. In Dorm Two was Bryanna, Mikayla, Jaimee and Tayla. 

In Dorm Two was Sebastian, Kyron, Brayden, Matt, Ethan and Cameron. In Dorm Four was Ricky, Harry, Micky and Josh. The reason all the adults got separate cabins was because we were the only school there!

There was a friendly staff of five and they supplied us with food, activities and a great time!

I think that everyone who went had an awesome time and have had great new experiences!

Rockwall Climbing at Camp

On the 2nd day of camp, our whole class was split into two groups. One group had to go to a rock climbing wall. It was a great team building experience. At least 3 quarters of our group went to the 2nd height. The brave ones went up to the very top. Ricky, Lily, Matty and Harry were the brave, courageous ones. It was a great time.

Lake Whakamaru Flying fox

On the third day of camp we went on the flying fox which was approximately 20 meters long ,starting from a very high tower the flying fox went a fast speed from start to finish down a long strip of grass.Then we would do it again and again it was so much fun we had a great time on the flying fox.

Taupo Hot Pools

On the 15th of December Room Three  went to Taupo hot pools. It was a freaking cold day so we went to warm up. The hydro-slide was big and fun, all of room three went on at least once. The hot pools were hot and relaxing, it was a awesome day. A guy came up to some of us Matatoki girls and did the "Sexy and I know it" dance and he was in colourful speedos.  "EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!"

Room Three Camp Burma Trail

On the 13th of December we went on camp and we did the Burma Trail. It was pitch black and we had no idea where were going people would jump out at you from no where making you scream your head off. Most of the people got lost and they went around the track twice. Matt, Lily and Sam got lost and they kept on going around the course. After a while they found a parent and they took them to the finish. On the way back we were walking when Lily and Sam were hiding in the bush and they went "Boo" Matt got a major fright.

The Three Little Pigs Court Case Play

Well done to all of the characters in the whole school item at the start of Prizegiving last Thursday. Well done The Big Bad Wolf, The Two Narrators, The Third Little Pig, The Little Piglets, The Little Wolfs, The doughnut eating Security Guards, Mother Pig, The Judge and The Pig Lawyer. It was a wonderful tale where the 'Big Bad Wolf' is taken to court for killing and eating the First and Second Little Pigs it has Two dances and a super silly punch line. The Wolf goes free due to a hung Jury and lives happily ever after. The End or is it?

It was an overall great play and a good family thriller and deserves a 10 out of 10.

Matatoki Prize giving

~*Prize Giving*~

At the end of every year Matatoki school presents an annual prize giving that consists of room items, songs, christmas carols and last but not least the awards of either accademic or athletic achievements. Prize giving is a time to comemerate the end of the year, the achievements and to round off the year with a high. This year we worked very hard to create a whole school play which was a hit. It was a very succesful night and all students and parents enjoyed them selves, it was a fantastic way to end the year.

Also this week we started swimming.. not many of us have been going because it is still a little too cold! Next week is going to be very hectic because we have our final dress rehearsal practices, year 8 dinner and our play and prize giving!

Have a great weekend!
