Day 5 - Friday 13 September

Today was the last Morning for us at camp. Everybody woke up super early because we had to pack our stuff so we can put it on the bus. After putting all our stuff in the bus we had breakfast and made our lunch to pack into our lunchbox. Then we got change into the clothes we are using for the whole day. since it was the last day the teachers said big thank yous to Chris, Magnus and Maikey. Mrs Raj gave a little something to Maikey for being a kind and amazing bus driver. Chris gave presents to the best boy and girl student for the whole week of camp.

After saying our thank yous we did a Hongi to Chris and Magness for being helpful caretakers to us all. This day was so emotional for everyone because they would miss camp. We all got on the bus and sad our last goodbyes to Chris and Magnus. We drove for like 20 minutes to Ruapekapeka, as we were driving pass a farm people were cutting down a tree so we had to turn around and go back the way we came from. In the bus we were singing the Waiata and playing music on our class speaker.

In the bus people were playing cards, Singing, Dancing, Laughing and sleeping during the bus ride. Two hours after we stopped at Westfield to have our lunch and go toilet. After driving for a long time we arrived in Auckland and looked at all the pretty views while driving. Minutes after we arrived to school at 2:45 just the right time for school to finish. Before we packed all our bags into our cars we did a haka because Maikey was leaving and we won't be seeing him anymore.

It was so sad because Maikey was very funny and a cool bus driver and everybody would miss him so much. It was pretty emotional as well. People were so happy to see their parents because they missed them so much. Everybody went home missing camp so much.

Camp was so fun and interesting, I think we got to know our class more and we got to mingle together with both boys and girls. I really miss camp and I do hope we get to go back there together so we learn lots and lots of things. Russel, Kerikeri and the Waitangi treaty Grounds is a lovely place to explore and tour around.
