Piha Camp 2012

Piha Camp
vs
Fist Pump

"Piha Camp!!!" shouted the teachers. At Camp we had a lovely time there. On Thursday we went to see Kite Kite Falls. It was such a beautiful view to see. When we all jumped in I frozen to death even Sione Dale. When we got back to the mill I went for a warm shower that was so burning my skin. We also had a bush Trail. We had to follow the rope in the dark.

DIG DIG DIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DIG DIG DIG!!!

“WHAT?” I said.”We are going to dig for worms?”I included.Mrs Tui said we are digging for worms.”But why?” I said.So I stomped outside like the feet of a giant walking down the road in the wind.But I felt like I was going to sneak back inside because of the WORMS!!!.”Stop Phoenix stop touching let go of the shovel.”I told him.”NO”.He says to me.We went to find a shady area for us to dig away into space.So Room Seven and I were digging away.

“Come down to this end Lavinia!.” Says Salamona.So we followed Lavinia like little ants following the leader.We barged in between a group.”Sorry”.I say.We continued to dig,dig,dig but still no more worms.Are you kidding me!?.The ground was dried like a solid rock we can’t lift up.But Catherine came in like a strong woman and digged away.

After that little space we digged on,we kept on moving which was not really  cool at the moment.Suddenly I turned around, I saw Genevieve with a water bucket.I yelled out “Genevieve,Genevieve,Genevieve over here bring that whole bucket of water here”.So she ran over to my group like she’s been caught from a thunder storm. She tipped it in while I was starring at nothing.It was my turn at least to dig so I digged and digged but nothing was there but the problem was that big ROOTS were in the way.But the excitement was... I FOUND A WORM!!.At least we found TWO worms.How cool was that?.But the problem was that we caught one long earth worm with blood.And one was okay because it was short.

After a tiring experience,I think it was pretty cool finding earth worms.We ran like the wind back to class and got on with our learning.So rain come and make the earth worms grow.DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,all day long.
