Finally.... some Camp photos!!!

Thanks heaps to Shana Jones for all these amazing photos. It has taken a while to go through all 280 or so of them. We would love to have any feedback from you, especially parents who went, or those of you who were a little anxious about the whole concept. It would be helpful to share this with our new parents next year. We think it was a huge success, but I'm sure there are improvements we could make.

Giving to the Cathedral

 After our Bake Sale (see previous posts) we needed to take the money we raised to the people at the Cathedral so that they would put it towards building a new one or replacing an old one.

 One group wanted their money to go towards the new gardens that would have to be built around the Cathedral.

Here we are giving our money to Mr Chris Oldham who works for the Cathedral. He told us lots of things about the Cathedral and he was in the offices at the back when the big earthquake happened.

This is a picture of the Cathedral from where we were standing. It is a long way away.

Balance Bikes at Camp

Balance bikes are cool but first go is hard. We went on the balance bikes on Thursday and Friday. Balance bikes don't have a  steering wheel, you use your body to steer. You pedal. You hold on to handle bars.

GKR Nationals

Hi. On Friday I went on a plane to Auckland with Madi. We weren't the only ones going up. When we arrived at the hotel we had to get a room. I was with Vicky and Sam. For tea we ordered Hells pizza. I got meat lovers. Once I had a piece my tongue started to BURN! I ran to get some water. About 5 mins later I had to get to bed. Next morning I got my clothes on and we headed to the the GKR nationals. I made a new friend. Next thing you know Brooke and Aunty Viv are there. I wondered how they got there. ''Plane'' and my grandparents where there too!!! I was confused. Anyway, after that we bowed in and I went to my ring. I was competing in Kumite (sparing). I won a Gold Medal. I am the National Champion for my age group - 8-9 year olds.
