Waka Ama/Camp Reflection
Waka Ama/Camp Reflection
| What did we do at camp?
We went to Karitane to do the waka ama program and then we did a hike around the pa then at 5:00 pm we went back to school and set up our beds in the hall. At 6:00 pm the food arrived we had pizza and hot chips it was one pizza between two people.We had dessert at about 7:30 pm then we got ready for bed. After we got into our pajamas we had a choice to watch a movie called whale rider or play a game in the breakout space. Half way through the movie we had to stop and go to bed. When it was lights out Lily had to go to the bathroom and she ran back to bed and set off the security alarm it was really funny. The next morning for breakfast we had toast or cereal. Then watched the rest of the movie but we had to start it from the start. Then at 3:05 pm we went home. |
| What was the most challenging part of camp?
Walking around the Pa. |
| To make camp better, I think I would change or add?
If it was sunny we could go in the pool at school or if it was cold we could have gone ice skating in Tekapo. |
| How do I feel about camp now that I have been on this camp? Would you like to go to another school camp?
Yes but not really at night |
| What was the best activity? Describe why you thought it was the best.
The waka ama program because it was my first time and I really enjoyed paddling to go and plant the flax on the other side. |
| Describe one thing that you learnt while on camp
Lots of cool Maori myths like this one there was once a girl that wanted to get married but her parents didn’t let her so her and her boyfriend ran away and got married and had a baby when they came back there parents were so angry they through her off the cliff we were at it was so cool because if we looked down the bottom was shaped like a pregnant woman lying down. |
