Here it is if you want to read it.

As you slip in the water
The coolness gives you a chill
And the players set in a line
Seven on seven what a thrill

The ref blows his whistle
And you lunge at your foe
Where's the ball? Where's the air?
Come on, let's go!

You win the ball back the nerves
Down your spine give you goosebumps
As you push to try to score and you shoot
Hoping that it will go in.

Have you wrote a poem before?

Cover and leave the dough to rise until double in size and then take small amounts of dough and form into oval-shaped balls.

Deep fry in oil on medium heat until evenly browned. Put them on kitchen towel and leave them to cool (around 30 minutes).

Wainui camp

For camp we did lots of things like costarring, high ropes, kayaking, out door living, archery, orienteering, Breakout EDU and sports, search and rescue, raft building. We had to do reflection on camp and here it is.

Something that I found challenging was high ropes because I'm not really used to high stuff and I faced my fear. The climbing was really hard for me but I enjoyed it alot.

Something I found fun for me it was the costarring because we got to jump off the rock and I picked up a star fish for the first time and I love exploring and getting to see new places. I also licked the out door living because we got to build a hut and do some more exploring and then after we got to lite a fire what was pretty cool.

Something I learnt was the out door living and the archery because with the out door living I learnt the pine needles are water proof  and the make things stronger and more stable. With archery I learnt how to use a bow and arrow.

I am grateful for the food that the teachers cooked for us and all the stuff that helped us and taught us how to do thing that I haven't done before.
