the first thing we did was loading up the bus with our bags then we said
our goodbyes to our loved ones who waited till we left, we waited a little
while on the bus then when the time hit 7:30 that was our time to
leave so our bus driver Maiki started up the bus then drove us safely to
our destination, we took our first stop to Whangreai
to have a quick bite to eat before we hit the road again
it took us about five hours and 30 minutes to get to Russell
and I also fell asleep on the bus with my friends because we were so
tired and we couldn't wait till we got to Russell and our camp site.

After that long drive to Russell we finally made it, we meet two nice guys there names were Chris and Magnus they were really nice and I can rely on them to keep us safe while we are on our camping trip, the first thing we did was that we played a game where we had to throw a tennis ball to anyone in the circle and they had to say what's there favourite thing to do.
Then we went to the Marae and they did a Powhiri to welcome us we had to take off our shoes and if you want you can take off your socks, when we enter there was a bright light on the stage
They were really talented and I really liked there singing I wish I could sing like them they make me wanna join kapahaka.
When we finished watching them preform we put on our socks and shoes then we started to learn about the three flags that New Zealand has with Whaea Roi, after talking and drawing the flags we went into James Busby's house I was really excited to go in, as we entered James busby's house there was a book were you had to write down your name and write a comment on it. I was so fascinated and also ready to explore the house, there were a lot of writing and some photos I really like seeing the photos because it is really old and it has some history behind it.
Next we went to the museum but our time was cut short because we had to go them camp site where we will be staying at for the next few days, when we arrived at then camp site we put our bags down and we had to sit down and wait for the teachers to call our cabin numbers, once we got our bags and got settled in we went inside the common room and had dinner, we had fish and chips it was so good. After we all finished our dinner we wrote a reflection on our first day at camp so we will
remember what happen and we can blog it at school.
When we were all done with our reflections we went for a shower and it was kind of scary because they told us if you spend a lot of time in the shower the lights will turn off and we were showering at night. after a long day we went in our cabins and everybody could not go to sleep so the teachers kept on telling us to sleep and after a while we finally went to sleep.
