Camp

This year our year eights from Point England school had the opportunity to go to Marsden Bay Christian Camp. On the very first day of camp we stopped for a long hike that took at least 2 hours. Sweat rushing down my face I stopped and admired the beautiful view right in front of me. By the time we finished the hike I couldn't feel my legs at all! we arrived to the camp sight. I was so tired by that time, we finally unpacked everything and headed straight to our cabins Lucky enough I got to sleep with my mates. Overall I didn't really think i was going to like camp. But in the end I did!


The first day ended, In our cabin I couldn't get enough sleep because my friend Jacob was right next to me and we kept talking for the rest of the night. I couldn't wait for the next day.

"Wake up" "Wake up" I heard It was my friend waking me up, I was very tired on the next day. Our first activity was Frisbee Golf we all had three chances to get the Frisbee inside the hoop it took four tries for me to finally get it in. My favorite camp activity was kayaking.

Tapa Pattern

For the last few weeks we have been working on tapa patterns. They look really nice we all had the chance to create one. My one is based on a traditional Tongan pattern that was created a long time ago. We got to dye our art to make the effect look original and old. What we used were... Brown paper bags. Brown and black crayons. Brown dye and pencil. Our first task was to find a pattern that we were going to use. The outcome of mine was very good I really liked it I hope we get to create more art during this term.  

Robyn Lamont

Today we have been working with Robyn Lamont she does line art and shapes. We all had the opportunity to work with her. She does amazing work. My friends and I all sat on the same desk where we got lessons how to make our art better.

My artwork was alright I think i couldn't done better with it because I wasn't concentrating. I cant wait till we get another lesson from her.
