My Dad said "Right what's the next ride up". We all scream " The Toilet Bowl". So we head of to stand in line, there were lots of people in line as it was thew summer holidays. Finally we got to the front "Next up" yelled the man standing at the entry gate. So my Mum, my Dad, my brother and I jumped on to the ride. We were starting to head of, then all of a sudden drop. The dark black hole starts to get me worried. But then we drop out into a yellow and blue stripey place. Then all of a sudden we flip, I feel the taste of yucky chlaurine water spattering into my mouth. We tuck in and then we splash into the water. The lifeguards waiting at the bottom came to check that we were okay My Mum said that we were fine only a few scratches and bruises. We trudged out of the water. "Well I think that might have been the worst ride" laughed my Mum. We left dripping with water looking all miserable. "Well we can go back tomorrow" said Mum. Maybe today was just an unlucky day, I thought to myself. My brother said "Maybe tomorrow will be a better experience, and maybe we will go on the toilet bowl again" he chuckled. ||

 * || "Arrrrgh!" I scream as we zoom up and down the Kamikaze. It was one of the most scariest rides I've ever been on, I thought to myself. My Dad laughed as he saw the petrified expression on my face in the photo. We walked to the popcorn shop and candy floss store to get some food.

 * Monday 12th March || My 4 goals for camp ||
 * || * Making sure I try all activities. I achieved this by trying all the activities even if I didn't want to.
 * Take risks to do better. I took a risk when I was a bit scared of going down on the flying fox but I did it anyway.
 * Persevere at all activities. I persevered when I kept trying to hit the target in air rifles even though it took ages.
 * Push myself to the limit. I pushed myself to the limit in all activities. ||


 * Monday 19th March || The best thing at camp 2012 ||
 * || I watched as mud splattered into Alanah's face. Keith and Walter were throwing us down by our arms. Some of us got torpedos though, this is where you get picked up by your arms and legs. The first time I went down I didn't get very far because I didn't stand properly when I was getting thrown, because you were supposed to keep your legs together. One of the times I went down I crashed right into the tyres. The next time I went down I went right on to the grass and the taste of the mud flicking up into my mouth was disgusting. I had mud splattered all over my face because Dwayne was throwing mud at us when we were going down. I had mud all over me and the feeling of mud going down my back was horrible. But it was still fun even though all that happened. We still stayed on it until the final buzzer went BUZZ!!! We all ran up the stairs as fast as we could so we could get changed as ourb togs were covered in mud. Finally we got to our cabins and we got changed. Finally we had reached dinner time. ||

A great reflection Sam, great to see you followed the necessary parts for a persuasive text. I always think you do a speech once a year so get up there, do it well and its over for another year.
 * Monday 28th May || Speech Reflection ||
 * || The thing I did well in my speech was my introduction and conclusion because I introduction was catchy and my conclusion had a call for action. The thing I could have done better in was using more eye contact and having more confidence. The thing I would change in my speech would be some of my paragraphs because they were a bit boring and not interesting and entertaining. ||

 * My Hut Experience || "Ouch" I scream as the fence zaps me on the back. "Are you okay?" questions Alyssa. "Yeah" I say as we start walking towards some old pine trees. We climb over the barb-wired fence as the spikes jab into our legs. We make our way over to the trees where there are lots of sticks. Alyssa suggests "Why don't we make a hut". "Sure" I say as I start picking up some old branches and sticks. The smell of pine wafts up my nose. I start building a door with the sticks I had collected earlier. Then I suggest "Why don't we build some stairs". Alyssa nods her head as she starts carving stairs in the dirt, so you can walk up them to get to the door. Snapping branches fling everywhere as I try to get the sticks to the right size. All of a sudden we hear crunching noises coming and Logan yells "Lunch is ready". We walk back to Alyssa's Dad's house. But now that the trees have been chopped down the hut no longer remains. I wish it was still there so we could finish it. ||
