Hanmer springs

This year for camp we went to Hanmer Springs camp, while we were driving to Hanmer we stopped at Reefton. When we got to Hanmer we got our room numbers and we unpacked and then we all got called to the field and we were given our first activity. While group one and two went bike riding the rest of us went orienteering.We were running around on the tracks and had to look for little bottles with a number and a letter on it we had to write it down on a paper. When we were finished we went to Hanmers pool at four and left at seven. The next day we went tree climbing the first tree we climbed was easy and thats when we learned where our positions should be when some ones climbing. I liked the second tree best because you got to use the branches on the tree to climb instead of just using blocks to climb. For the next activity we went mountain biking, while we were biking we stopped at this mountain bike course it had ramps and and tight corners you could turn. Then we went to the pools again, I personally think the hot pools were the best and the super bowl when we got back we had dinner then both class went to the big Kitchen and had a concert. Some people did magic tricks and some danced and there were also comedy acts. After the concert we had to go to bed. In the morning we did our last activity, we went on a sculpture walk, there were all sorts but my favourite one was the eagle because it was big then we went to the cemetery. The thing i liked most about it was there was one guy that died by a lightning strike.

Term 2 week 2

Book review 
Image result for 100 deadliest things on the planetThis week I have been reading a book called 100 deadliest things on the planet. It is really cool and interesting because it tells you about all sorts of animals and diseases. Also wicked weather and lots more my favourite thing in the book was reading about the black death. It is a disease that is also called the plague. The thing I liked most was it said in the 1300s and 1600s the black death wiped out millions and millions of people. The bad thing was that they did not know what it was and how to treat it and the black death is still around today. But it is  rarer it is caused by a bacteria found in rats and other rodents people catch it by flea bites them after having bitten a infected rat. So that's why I like the book because it tells u all sorts of fun and interesting facts so I recommend that you should read this book.
