On the 2nd day of camp we went down to the lake at Waipara camp. We went down to the lake to learn how to kayak. I was feeling a bit nervous and I was tapping my leg. First when we got there we learnt how to get in the kayak and how to use the paddle. After that we had to get on the safety gear. First we put on the helmet then we put on the life jacket. After that we set out, first we went through a trail then we played in the big area. By this time I was feeling a lot more happy and achieved. One of the came that we played was a game called candlesticks, In candlesticks the taggers paddle around the area and if your kayak gets tagger you put your paddle up like a candlestick. Your teammates can un-tag you the way that you got tagged. The other game we played was named sponge tag. It is like tag but you have to throw a sponge in order to get the person out.

Shave for a cure
Me and two other of my friends decided to do something to change other people's thinking about cancer and to raise awareness about it. We were going to shave our hair off! But first we had to raise money from our friends and family. Fast forward two months we have made over $3000 as a team! So the day came and at school we shaved our hair off and we started a dress-yourself day! And guess how much money we raised from the dress yourself day? If you guessed $907 then you are correct! Now that’s a lot of money! We shaved our heads smooth and we felt really proud! I really hope that people after reading this will understand more about cancer and maybe even one day we might find a cure!

Why do pandas poop so much?!
Why do pandas poop so much?
Did you know that pandas poop over 100 times a day? The reason is because they mostly only eat bamboo and bamboo is not all that healthy. Bamboo is low in protein and high in fiber. That's why I eat sultana bran when I am constipated! Anyway the poor diet means that panda cubs are born tiny, helpless and even blind. Now that's sad.
