5 day Easter Holiday

Hi guys I'm back and today I'll be talking my Easter weekend. Every Easter our  family is really busy because we run liturgies, go to masses and we also do the Visita Iglesia. Visita Iglesia is a tradition usually done on the evening of Holy Thursday, but we did it early on Good Friday. We did it with our prayer group and went around seven churches. We did two stations, from the stations of the cross, in each church then afterwords we went to St Thomas Moore church in Wilton for the Veneration of the Cross.

On Saturday we stayed at home because it was Black Saturday and just did homework and watched TV. On Easter Sunday we went to mass and we went to church early because we were choir. After the mass we went to a friends house to have lunch then went to a meeting in another house before coming back home. On Monday I played on my tablet and we also went to watch Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. On Tuesday I played with my friends and went to a movie fundraiser. The movie was Kung Fu Panda 3. In the whole Easter weekend the time that I made someone feel good  was probably when our family bought a new desk and we had to set it up and it took us a long time but we did it. We were all happy and proud of what we had achieved.

So that was the post for this week and I'll see you guys next time.

Hillary Outdoors Camp

Hi guys I'm back from my week off and today I'll be talking about why I didn't post last week,
CAMP!!!





All the year 8s went to Hillary Outdoors Camp on Monday and left school at 9:55. We did lots of fun and different activities there as well. The most challenging thing I did there was probably the high ropes because I am a little bit scared of heights. Each activity at the high ropes pushed me to do my best. The first one, jumping to another platform, was the easiest but I had to push myself to do it. The second one, the slowly moving log, was one I set a goal for. My goal was to get to the other side... by just standing up, without holding anything. I managed to do it and I was really proud of myself. The third one and my personal favourite, The rock climbing line of death, It was definitely the hardest one because you had to have really good grip strength and really good upper body strength. Some of the rock climbing rocks could be twisted so it was hard for my feet to stay on it.

One thing I found easy was the low ropes because it was only a meter off the ground and I trusted my group entirely...well...maybe not. The activities were what I expected but the experience wasn't what I was expecting at all. Like teamwork went to a whole new level and communication also went to another level. So it was a very good learning curve. My proudest moments were when I went first in most of the caving challenges and picked the hardest one. I also got to experience it first as well. My favourite moment was bridge jumping. I had no fear walking up to the bridge and once you jump you feel like the whole world stopped. You can hear your heart beating and everything goes silent...
SPLASH!!!
And all of a sudden you're in the water, just with a click of a finger.

CAMP!!! CAMP!!! CAMP!!!

Hi guy I'm back and today I'll be talking CAMP!!! Next week The year 8s and I will be going to Camp at Hillary Outdoors near Taupo. I'm looking forward to being with my friends for a week and being away from my parents for a week...

Anyway it's going to be fun doing activities with my friends. On my way there I'm going in Jesse's car with Jesse (of course), Liam, Fraser, Henry and Harry. My cabin group has all of us who went in Jesse's car and a few other boys. The things I'm most nervous about is probably cleaning the toilet (I feel like this is every ones worry). I can make camp fun and enjoyable with jokes.
Me: Why did the chicken cross the road?
You: I don't know
Me: I don't know too

Anyway so that was the post for this week and next week I'll be on camp so I won't be posting.
