Te Whare Tui Camp

WALT use google slides to create an interesting presentation about 

our camp experience. 

My favorite activities were the obstacle course and the slippery hockey. I loved the obstacle course because it was really challenging and it was really hard too and I think everybody loved it. My favorite part of the obstacle course was the tyre swings and ropes because I love climbing on things and I really like swinging and jumping off them. Second was slippery hockey I really liked it because I kept slipping over other people trying to hit the ball into the goal. When I Got it in the goal my team was so pleased and we started screaming yay!. my favorite part was trying to hit the bottles full of water because it was so cool when you kept seeing people only just get the bottles. At the end we had to get hosed down with freezing cold water I hated it especially when it tickled me I hate being tickled.

The adults just had to get coffee and I couldn't wait to get back to the reptile park. Finally we got there and it was open! I said hurry up, I raced threw the door and I wanted to see everything but first we went on a tour, I got to see a snake eating I felt scared. We went to go to see a snake that we could hold so I asked if I could hold it and it was almost invisible in my t - shirt. We went to touch a dragon, it felt prickly. His name was Zap.
