My Letter Home

Dear Mum and Dad

How are you? Hope you are well.

I have a Blog that you can look at to see what kind of story’s I have written it’s got every story that I have told you about and there is still more publish, on my blog and it’s really cool,
our camp was very extreme we did the same thing from last time, in the activities Rock up there were more games then last year.

Our netbook’s are super fantastic! we have a heap of writing but it helps me to write more interesting story’s I think? we have been doing alright in class, and we go to Tech atTamaki on Mondays my class is ELECTRONICS it’s very awesome we have started doing little paper projects.

On Fridays we have Taonga Time it is when we do Scinece, Te reo Maori, Sports (with Miss Va’afusuaga) and Mosaics, and that’s all have to say.

Thanks for reading this I hope you check my blog for the amazing work I have done, once again Thanks.

Yours Sincerly:
Jordan Schwenke

My Thoughts about Camp

Team 5 Camp coming up in just 4 days MAN getting ready for more interesting activities along with a very delicious meal (YUMMY) I’m looking forward to this cool camp. Yesterday we were sorted into groups My group is the our leaders are Tamati and Rachael two people that I am very close to. It is going to be very cool at camp doing cool stuff even if I don’t know it, I wounder if the Activities are the same as 1 year ago it was SOLID It was called Rock up.

THINKERS YEAH!!!!!!!.

After Camp:
Camp was really awesome especially a chillaxing swim at swimarama first we had a swimming race, the race was really fun our team Thinkerz was coming last but then we Thinkerz had a HUGE comeback from the swimming race when we finished we had our Morning Tea, soon the diving board was open everybody just zoomed off to the bombing pool. Last and not least we GO HOME!

Day1 For CAMP!

''Man! 1st day of Camp, This Camp is going to be SPECTACULAR'' saying it in my head this camp is called ''Camp Take Charge'' when everyone was in the hall in their camp groups , just listening to the teachers how we should take charge of ourselves and our stuff, and we are already gone straight to an activity amazingly really hard work.
First up Mr Barks and his activity we had to do 5 kinds of activities in his session, first was Blowout now this activity is when you have a tyre and a long wooden pole, we needed to get the tyre out of the wooden pole but you can't just take the pole out of the middle of the tyre, I had to put Tamati on shoulders so he chuck the tyre, but the time was to long then i had to put Kaiden on for the second time. Second game was Channel Run (which was a water game), Third, Mark It Up (another painful game for me ) it is someone gets a piece of tape and they put it as high as they can for the team Tamati had to go back my shoulders, Fourth refrigerator run and last of all Pass It Out.

Next Thing I enjoyed was the Delicious, Yummy Food especially Extremely great HANGI! we all were involved doing the hangi, it was like a restaurant Tamati and I with two other friends Samson and Kaiden we had to do 200 pieces of foil for all of the tin plates, in the tin plates were Pumpkins, Potatoes, Kumra, lettuce, chicken, pork and loin chops.
ESPECIALY IT WAS THE CAMP'S 21st BIRTHDAY.

Instructions to put up a tent

Materials: Tent(x3 person)->FLY(x1)

METHOD:

Step 1. Find clear, level, grassed area away from overhanging branches of trees

Step 3. Take out your tent, unfold it and lay it flat on the ground.

Step 4. Grab the little green bag that is in the big bag and take out all of the poles and pegs.

Step 5. Connect the 3 poles together and line the poles up because there is 2 long poles and 1 short pole.

Step 6. Connect the poles to the tent in an angle and clip the tent to the poles and tie the poles with the tie on top of the tent.

My Holiday Highlight.

In the weekends we went to Wenderholm Beach, on the North Shore, by bus and by car for our church picnic. Not long after we arrived we began to play volleyball. POW! The ball spiked to the ground! “Woah, I can feel the vibration” I said.

On the other side of the space where our picnic was happening they were playing cricket.
YEAH! With the sound of my uncles voice cheering on for his team - WHACK! The tennis ball was connected with the cricket bat and the ball went flying into the sea. JINKES! That was a big hit man. “Hey bro, are you puffing already?” my brother yelled.

Next we played touch on the hard sand. While we were playing I noticed my sister, Lenna, was drawing her name in her own special style.

After we played our Activities my mum and I took off with a plastic bag to put our kina’s in, being followed by my cousin and her friend, they were way to hard to get out as if they are super glued onto,the solid rocks but worst of all they are spiky as a cactus, we needed a knife in one hand but the other bear handed.

After all that fun we started to pack all our stuff away and then got on the bus for our ride home. Once we got home I crashed out on the couch, snoring.

Another year of a spectaclar for Tech@Tamaki

Yesterday,we began to start a new session for Tech@Tamaki as we were
Marching down to tamaki the Year seven's are chatting about how it's going
to be for their,first time at Tamaki College but the Year eight's it's
their second time being there now, the only thing that has changed
is the new classes we are doing like Electronic and Science, but
the old classes were cooking 'Yummy',Wood Tech and Graphics.

At Tamaki the area of learning that I am doing this term is Electronic
I thought it was brilliant creating electrical objects like a torch
that you can attach to your hat so you can see in the dark, also a
fan hat.

I thought it was awesome, beginning a new session for Tech@Tamaki experiencing
new classes.

Our Spectacular Market Day!!

SPLISH, SPLASH,SPLOSH ERRRR! Tanielu and I rushing to make the customers milk shakes, we had a very messy store because we had a funny little accident when we were making our milk shakes, the cup slipped out of my hand but it only spilt a quarter of what was inside. Our container was fill of money! and then our ice cream and milk was nearly finished oh ohh...... we were both shocked. Suddenly Tanielu's auntie brought some more Ingredients for us.

After all that Milk Shakes we were all exhausted from making around 70 cups of milk shakes we were a mess when we finished then we packed it all up and go to lunch, our results for how much money we made was over $200 WOW after that I said to myself "WHAT A DAY".
