B4's Class Trip to ASB Polyfest!!! By Caitlin

 B4’s Class Trip to ASB Polyfest!!!

 “Have a good day at Polyfest, be good!” My Mum called. “Ok bye Mum!” I responded. I hurried to class just before the bell rang.

A few minutes later all the children came racing into class. After everyone settled down Whaea Teagan split us into four groups. Then she gave us our name tags to put on our uniform.

 Then Whaea Teagan gave a map to each group, of the whole Polyfest venue. Five minutes later the three parent helpers turned up, then we grabbed our bags and jumped on the bus with B9. We drove in the bus with B9 for 30 minutes (It felt like 30 minutes.)

When we arrived at Polyfest we hopped off the bus and went through security. Then Whaea Teagan told us to gather in our groups with our parent helpers. After we had our little meeting we were allowed to go.

My groups parent helpers name was Sandhya and the kids in our group were Maranique, Tynan, Devine, Namrata and Mustafaa.

We went wandering around looking at food stalls. Then I saw a smoothie stall and it was so hot that I had to buy a smoothie, so I did.  It was five dollars, and I only had five dollars- I was lucky I had the right amount. But  I came across another stall and it had the exact same thing but it was four dollars -  I was so upset!

Across from that stall there was a man selling orange balloons and jelly beans. “Would you like a balloon?” the man asked politely. “No thanks” I responded. As I turned around  I saw Whaea Caroline - she was our old school librarian. Our whole group ran up to her and we yelled  across the field “Whaea Caroline!” She didn’t recognise us until she saw our uniform. “Hi” she responded.

Then we ran back to our parent helper she said “Let’s go to the diversity stage!” So we marched to the diversity stage.

Suddenly Sandhya turned around and Namrata had vanished out of the blue. We were worried about Namrata, we thought we lost her for good. We were so worried that Sandyha rang Whaea Teagan.

We looked everywhere! Then something yellow caught my eye. I looked up and it was long lost Namrata. When we found Namrata we travelled to the Diversity stage where we watched Korean dances and heaps more.

Our group had half an hour left to play so I asked Sandhya if I could get a “Flava” tattoo. She said “ok be quick because we have to go soon” she said quietly. I got my tattoo then we jumped back on the bus and went back to school. “That was so fun!” I yelled as I hopped off the bus.

My Amazing Camp Experience

Camp "Wake up" yelled mum, so I rushed to school, I grabbed my bags and headed off. Minutes later I had arrived and we travelled down to Camp Adair. As soon as we had reached our destination, we all unpacked our bags and we all gathered to announce our cabin groups. My cabin was number 12, "YAY" as I was so happy because I heard Caitlin and my name has been called for the same cabin. So we unpacked our bags and gathered to have morning tea. Once we had finished we got put in our activity group, the members of my group were Caitlin, Xavier, Nicholas, Jope, Rangatiratanga, Kennedy, Nishika and Queenie.  Splash Splash Splash! my group and another group were struggling to walk across the river. We eventually made it across and travelled to the field where the shooting targets were placed. Then we headed off to the bush walk, we all spotted a little hut made out of sticks, we also saw a little camp spot were you can put a fire there.  Next we had lunch, afte...

Raisins Record By Alisha.

Hi I'm Alisha and as you can tell by my title I will be telling you about my schools raisins blowing record. So the day before we did the blowing challenge our principle told us we will be getting raisins. That was the day we got raisins but we weren't gonna eat them or play with the box yet. Then the next day in the afternoon we went to go on the main court and we had to meet the kids can people like one girl named Sophie. We were told that we had to break the WORLD RECORD for the LOUDEST whistle blowing with the raisins boxes. The country that we needed to beat was Great Britain and we did just carry on reading. The we were told that we will be on camera and not ordinary camera TV OMG it was so cool. Then we were getting filmed while we were blowing with the boxes then we got to throw our raisins in the air and whenever we get one throw it in the air it was so fun. Plus we got to know that we broke the WORLD RECORD OMG its so cool we beat Great Britain.
