Year 6 camp recount

Walt: write a recount about camp

Rode a big black bus for over an hour north. There was sleepwalking , movies , action , adventure , darkness, and dirt all in just four days. What an unbelievable camp we had.

On the last morning , I was out of bed and down the stairs the problem was I was sleepwalking. My friends tried to wake me up. It was a bad idea. My friend lied and said I rubbed moisturiser all over my bed but when I was sleepwalking she got up and did it. Luckily I only went to the toilet and then back to bed. I don’t want to do that again.

Abseiling was my biggest fear because of the height. When I was climbing up the wall I was afraid then while I did it a burst of exhilaration rode up me like a car. It was such an amazing experience  I decided the I would go another without any fear.

At the start I didn't know what was happening then I saw the blindfolds. The Burma trail is when you are blindfolded then a long rope is tied to trees and then while blindfolded you go through the trail. For me especially it was hard and eventually at the end I managed to kiss 3 trees , hug 10 and I tripped slipped or fell 12 times.

My favourite memory about camp bentzon was you have to rely on your group to help you along the way. The best socializing activity at the camp is probably raft building because everyone is helping and talking.This camp on kawau island was one of the best experiences I have had in my life so if I ever get the chance to go back there I’d surely be there.

In this task we learnt to write recounts about camp bentzon. At camp bentzon we had an awesome time on this awesome island. I can't wait till I get older and read back at this.

What is adaptation

Walt: Divine adaptation

San diego zoo

Walt: think about the purpose and my reader by planning my recount

Purpose:

What message do I want my reader to have? (highlight)

Virtual tours of a zoo isn't as fun as a real zoo - Whitebait fritters

Plan of my paragraph topics

1. Introduction	Orientates and hooks
2. Body Paragraph 1	Disappointed when Mr Goodwin said we are going to the zoo then he said click on the link
3. Body Paragraph 2	Not as exciting then the real zoo
4. Body Paragraph 3	explaining that I prefer going in real life
5. Conclusion	What I think about the San Diego zoo

Yay we get to go to the zoo but this time it’s online. Virtual zoos for me aren't as cool I would rather real life because we can actually touch them. How would you feel if it happened to you?

We planned a recount for our virtual zoo tour. We wrote two and re-crafted one .We ended by planning at the start and marking myself on a rubric.

The fear factor challenge

Walt: think about my purpose and the reader by planning my recount.

Plan of my paragraph topics

1. Introduction	Orientates and hooks
2. Body Paragraph 1	Gagging at the video of the real fear factor and getting nervous
3. Body Paragraph 2	Disgusted when he said ‘ pond scum water and frog eggs’ I didn't believe what he said though
4. Body Paragraph 3	I was happy that I wasn't chosen because it wouldn't have been easy even though it was a trick
5. Conclusion	What I think about the fear factor challenge

This morning Mr Goodwin announced that we were going to be writing about the fear factor

but then I thought what are we going to do now. We watched a YouTube video of two people eating

maggots drowning in blood with a delicious side of rat hair chips and Madagascar hissing cockroaches.

This is my introduction about the fear factor. This introduces my class doing the fear factor.

Market Day!!!

Walt: write an interesting and detailed recount .

Find , buy , Eat!!! Last Friday we had a market day full of purchasing and selling. I started with 5pt and ended with 18.20 pt . That wasn't even the best bit.

The trade and enterprise group I'm in is kitchen. I made chocolate fudge by myself , the reason why was because my partner was unfortunately at sports. When I  tasted it I found it was quite sweet but still yum. We sold the fudge for 2pt. We had a market day to sell the products that we had made. All yr ⅚ people planned and waited for the market for 8 weeks which is three quarters of this term.

In the morning after assembly we set the classes up for our market, because we planned to have it from after morning tea , all the way to lunch. The kitchen group was outside because we had alot of crumbs and we didn't want to get them all over the floor so it was probably a better idea to go outside.

I bought alot of items. First of all Just before I started selling because I had ordered it I got a big lime ice block someone tried to buy it but I said “ sorry I already ordered”. While I was selling I gave my friend 2pt to buy me some hot chips and I was the first person. Soon after that I had sold out so because we had made and uneven amount we spent some pts. I bought a coaster , drum and a yellow slime. But it was a pity I had to leave before the day ended.

While I was selling I found everyone liked it but it was too expensive so I put it down to 1pt and then more people came to buy more. When we had sold out of fudge my buddy and I went around buying items. There were alot of things for sale we had vases , slime , food , ukulele , drums and custom stationary tools.

If we ever have another market I will look forward to it. Due to our currency I am better at getting more profits and bargains.

The Trade Fair

Walt: use language that paint a picture in the mind of our readers.

Trade trade trade,in week 4 we had a trade fair we sold products from our different umbrella businesses .

We all had  completely different groups, but we only had six. We also have our own currency, money , bank accounts and jobs.

A trade fair is like a normal fair but, we have our own currency for the trade fair. We sold products that were hand made. In the Trade fair, we had to take money from other people who would buy our product. We had to explain what it was, say what they had to give to buy it and gain interest from our customers.

There are six business umbrellas. Our businesses are Home ware , Toys , Kitchen , Jewels and accessories ,  Custom stationary and Musical instruments. In each group we make and create products by hand or from scratch. My group is kitchen and we cooked home made pizza bases then our thing was chop, grate , slice and spread it only cost $10.00 to make and we sold them for $2.00 and made $40.00 we had to repay our loan amount which was $10.00 and the leftover money we had to equally split the amount. Unlike other groups we sold at the trade fair instead of taking orders because our product was already made.

At the trade fair for the first 15 minutes of it I sold the pizza’s we had prepared earlier. It felt good selling the product we made. Whenever a customer took a bite they said “ far out this pizza is so good “ and I felt good knowing our customers were satisfied.

I can’t wait for the market to come because in kitchen we are making a different product. Our next food item is frozen yoghurt Yum Yum Yum….

In this task we tried to write a recount about our trade fair.
We had to explain it so well that it paints a picture in the readers mind.

Loofahs

Review on chocolate

Walt: use language that will paint a clear picture in the mind of our readers

Chocolate Hell!

Whittaker's L&P chocolate is a crime, Whittaker's should be arrested under chocolate law.

White chocolate infused with l&p and mixed with pop rocks is part of the new Whittaker's chocolate range. It comes in a king size block, and costs $4.30 for a block.

At first The texture was extraordinary and so was the taste but the after-taste left in my mouth was of raw potatoes #disgusting. The scent was of sour lemon juice. I spotted brown dots that reminded me of my old gumboots with brown polka dots. The chocolate was smoothed out and at the bottom there were small bubbles and once I saw what they were I saw pop rocks.

For this product I would actually swap the white chocolate with milk chocolate. Then I would put small l&p flavoured gummies. This way you will have the flavour then a gooey mouth feeling.

I wouldn't recommend this chocolate because it has awful after tastes. If you like white chocolate then you would not like this if your taste buds are different the you might even love.

In this task we learnt to paint pictures in not only our head put our audiences heads. We blindly tasted different types of chocolate.

Bean bags for hire 3pt whole day

Walt: pursued the reader to agree with our message

Bean bags are one of the most angelic and serene places to sit on.

During class time the bean bags are available for hire to lean on. Instead of sitting on the cold and chafing  floor that you get burns from, or on a freezing hard plastic chair, you will be able to sit on a relaxing bean bag to do your work. In your very own V.I.P space.

The bean bags are filled with soft cotton beans and covered in a silky rubber skin. They can be shape shifted into the mould of your choice like play dough. You can choose to sit on the bean bag,  use it to lean back on , lie on it or sneak a bit of a sleep plus much more.

The bean bags come in two different colours , sapphire  Blue, and  sea-foam green. It’s your choice of which one you want to rest on.

The output is 3pt how good is that. Your payment can be deposited  at the beginning of the day and then you can use the beanbag for the rest of the day in all it will be 3pt for 4 and a half hours!

Remember for 3pt you can sit on a beanbag during class for at least four and a half hours.
