Last week the year 6 went to camp Mangawhai beach.

We did heaps of fun games, I liked the food that Ben made. I went kayaking with my friends and I liked paddle boating.

I liked it when I fell into the fresh water. I didn’t like it when my hands were sore when I was paddling. My kayak was purple. I learnt how to paddle. I was excited when I slid down the cold long water slide. We had a race with our kayak and people had turns with the paddle boats.

Here is my slideshow and a photo of me below:
