End of year reflection thingy..

Something I have accomplished tr his yeais getting chosen to participate in the Aims Games. It was the first time Winton School has taken part and getting our first try was really special.

My biggest improvement was in reading because I learnt alot of new strategies. I have also had some really good test results that I’m proud of.

My favourite subject was P.E because I have enjoyed learning new games and skills outside with my class and having Sports Southland coaches come in and teach new sports like Volleyball and Cricket.  My other favourite subject is Writing because I have new ways to make my writing interesting.

Next year my goal is to get involved in everything I can or want to do.  I also want to learn to play the drums and guitar.

Deep cove reflection...

We were all sprinting along the road to the Real Journeys dock all of us in wet weather gear. When we got to the dock we walked along the wharf to the huge two story catermaran. As we boraded the magnificent beast we were told to go upstairs. to our suprise we had the whole boat to ourself I sat at a booth with Adam, Ben, Jane, Ashlee, Mark and I. As we looked out the window we saw the huge thundering waterfalls there were more than the day before and the ones that were there the day before were bigger. As we left we saw how choppy Doubtful Sound was. The captain told us we would be going into Hall arm because it would be carmer in there. When we got to Hall arm we saw waterfalls everywhere it looked as if the mountian were bleeding or crying. The Captain navigated into the arm. All of us silent taking in the view. At the end of the arm the Captain steered the boat under a waterfall the water just cm from the boat. On the way back we came across a small island called rolla island inhabited by small penguins apparently the smallest in the world. We stared at the little creatures as the jumped of there pearch and into the cold water. Then we came round a smal point and we saw the hostel and a big old blue boat that we pasted on the way to Hall arm. As we docked I thought to myself ‘I will remember this for a long long time !’

Deep Cove camp

2013 DEEP COVE from Winton School, NZ on Vimeo.

Well in week 2 our class went to Deep Cove for a four day camp we left on the Monday and came back on the Friday on the way up we got a bus to Manapori after we got there we got a boat over to west arm when we got there we got a bus down to the power station. After we had a look around we drove over Wilmot pass to Deep Cove. At Deep Cove my favourite activity was going on the boat cruise on Doubtful Sound my favourite walk was Hanging Valley because it was challenging and steep but I didn't get to do the whole thing because I had to go home on the Thursday afternoon. Overall I really enjoyed Deep Cove it was my favourite camp. I highly recommend going there for a trip.

Song of the week.

Well I haven't done a song of the week for awhile now so I will put on two songs...

Holiday recount...

Well I just realised that this post is a good milestone for me its my 60 post since I started my blog last year. Well done me. Right on with the post.

Our holiday of a life time started with one very vivid moment. We were sitting in CHCH airport our flight has been delayed which was no biggy but then Katy came over to us and said "guys we got a problem" Mum said "what" Katy replied that our flights been cancelled!! We all walked over to the TV with disbelieve and sadly to our shock it was true. So Dad walked over to the desk and talked to the lady about what flight we would be put on. Then over the loud speaker it said anyone who has been affected by the flight to Collangatta can you please come and speak to the Air NZ desk. So Mum and Dad went over to the desk while Archie and I went to play on the I Pads at the Duty Free shop. About a hour later Katy called us over to the Air NZ desk where Mum told us we were getting a flight from CHCH to Auckland then a Virgin flight to Collangatta. So we went up to the food court and grabbed some food and then we went to our gate and ate our food. After that we got on the plane. Once we landed we meet a lady who was also supposed to be on the flight that was cancelled. Her name was Amanda, we also met two ladies called Rachel and Utta, who was Rachel's Auntie so we called her Auntie. We rushed over to the international building where we went to check-in when the people at the Virgin desk said your ticket hasn't been booked properly so you can't board you have to go to the Air NZ desk. So we ran over to the Air NZ desk because when we got there we had 3 mins till the check-in closed after 10 minutes of arguing with the lady at the Air NZ desk we knew we wouldnt make the flight. The manager of Air NZ took us over to this posh hotel were we had dinner with Auntie ,Rachel and Amanda. The next day we woke up at 6am to make the flight at 9.25. We got on the flight with Amanda. Rachel and Auntie went to Brisbane. the flight took about 3 hours I sat by Dad and Archie. When we landed we said our goodbyes to Amanda then we got the taxi to the hotel we quickly put our stuff away and we left for the V8 Super Cars.
So far we have been to both V8 races on the Saturday and Sunday and Dream World on Tuesday and today we are going to Whitewater world.

Please comment and ask any questions.
