I think the banqer trade me is really cool you learn what you need and what you want. Some people brought food like biscuits and lollies I bought a top and a matching skirt which is between want and need. We did a tender which is when we all put our names and the price we are willing to pay for it and the top price win the item.

He was 40 years old when he went to war and he had been in the Boer war in South Africa. He died when he was 75 so he lived through 2 awful wars. My great great Aunt says he was very intelligent but he could be very moody. She thinks that is because of what he saw in war. He was in his 20’s when he was in the Boer War. He used to be interested in astronomy. He was a very good reader because all his children loved reading. It's amazing how some of them lived my great great grandfather. By Lauren

WAR MUSEUM I learnt about the horses at war and what the horses were used for. My goal was to learn more about war. To achieve my goal I had to listen a lot about all the stuff he told us. I got better at looking after the younger ones in my group. The first bit of the tour was about the town before the war. The town was so pretty back then. Every new year as you walked through the exhibition there was a gravestone that said the new year. They did that to remember the soldiers that died in the war. Then we are at OVER BY CHRISTMAS 1914. There are some of the guns. One of the machine guns had a bullet hole in the water cooling system. Then I see a young boy signing up for war called Will. Then, sadly, I see him saying good bye to his mother. Now I see a car with some soldiers sitting in the car. Then there are some soldiers galloping on the horse past. They look like they are in a big rush to get somewhere … maybe the front line. There is a new plane flying past and some soldiers waving because the planes were new in world war one and they were proud to have a plane. On the front of the plane there was a big skeleton. Then I saw a poster saying ‘THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU. ENLIST TO-DAY’ and another saying ‘WOMEN of BRITAIN SAY-GO’. The War museum was very interesting I loved learning about it all; especially about the horses. It was so cool. I love horses so it was cool to see the statues off them. The Museum was filled with so much cool stuff. I felt so amazed and shocked by the site of it; all the beauty and the horror of it all. There was so much before that I wanted to learn and now I have found it all out. By Lauren



Camp Day One Writing



Beep beep beep … My alarm goes off. I jump out of bed and go down to ask for breakfast.

“French toast please mum.”

I jump in the car and we go down to school. I tiredly get into the car and we start the movie ‘Big hero six’. We all sit back and enjoyed the movie. We all love the movie and when it ends we start to make nicknames for each other. Blair was Blaireo and Sarah was Saraheo and Ava was abro. Then we look out the window and… like magic we are in Wellington. But then Blair finds out we are lost. He rings Fiona and asks he for help to get the SatNav going but it won't go so we ring Mrs Fielder and ask for help. When we are out we grab our lunch boxes and run over and join the other kids.

Yaju Cheng came to Apiti School and she is staying at my family house for are farm stay I was very exited when I meet her. Yaju has taught me a lot like how to make chines dumplings home

My part is ewe 3 I am the funny and funky ewe.

You can bye my wool to make cloths to keep you nice and snugly warm in winter. You can make socks, scarfs, hats, dress

Pants, Jerseys.

For the production I have the part of ewe number three. My personality is funny and funky. I have clean soft, fluffy wool. It smells like a fresh summer's day, sunshine and nice smelling grass. I can never forget to put my lovely smelling lanolin hand cream on. My friends are ewe number one. She is the friendly ewe, and ewe number two is fantastically fortfull ewe. We are the awesome dancing sheep and we love to rattle our dags. We hate seeing each other naked with no wool. We love to eat the gourmet fresh grass we also love to baaaaaaaaa our heads off. We love to take ewe turns when it is shearing time, just to be cheeky and to drive Dog and Wal bananas. I am cheeky and full of mischief. I am always up to the most mischievous things. You can never know what I will be doing if I am in the paddock eating grass or up to no good which is definitely not good. I sneak around being quiet and getting into mischief. You might sometimes see all the ewes together with up to no good written all over their faces. Too much fun. I love to munch the grass and joke around and be funky. I never forget to to make sure my afro is nice and clean smelling good like roses. I love the nice, clean air. My friends and I love playing in the lovely meadow. I love eating the flowers and the grass I can't wait till the next new paddock.

I love life!

At #|Capital E we made a movie. The movie was about Apiti School. I was the director, Dylan and Travis were my minions. I got to tell Travis to do 20 press ups but he did 2. I had to tell him to put his hand up when I talked to him. So I knew he could hear me. In his studio were the presenters Hannah and Zahn. Brooke was the interviewer in the other studio .She interviewed the Bon Apiti group, and Chloe talked about the #|Production. James talked about the #|Green finger zone. The Whanau groups were interviewed. Tyler and Dylan talked about lamb and calf day.

Being the director meant I got to press the buttons in the control #|room. At the beginning we did the school song, I was behind Brooke. We made a movie of the school song first in front of the black screen. Our uniform is green so we had to do it in front of a black screen.

Then we made the movie in front of a green #|screen, because we can do any #|background we like. For an example we could use a photo or movie of Paris. If I fell asleep the whole show would fall apart. Lacey, Bianca and Nikki were in charge of the #|wardrobe.

I hope we go on a great camp like that next year.
