Camp

Who	What	When	Where	Why
Year 7’s	Activity	Wednesday	Merc	Camp

On Wednesday we went to Merc. We arrived at camp, we got all our staff out of the bus side.We saw all sorts of staff like giant ladders,a massive tree and rock climbing  wall but unfortunately we couldn't do it. We had to go inside of this building and put our staff in there after that a man showed us around we had to put our staff in the room.

After we went and did an activity. We had to hold pipes so that the ball can go through until it reached the bucket and fell into it. After that we got plenty of ropes for two people so that we could go around this type of bottle. We all came up with an idea. I had to go around the bottle meanwhile my partner and my class was standing I stopped it was the next person's turn then we kept on going until the rope was really tied around the bottle we all pulled as hard as we could without standing in the water and we got it out, it took for ages.

At the night time we played with some cards until it was nine o'clock because we had to have a shower. We played last card, I gave some cards to each person then we started. The first card was 3 of hearts. I put down my card three of clubs, I got lucky because I had all of the same cards and I said “Last cards.” When I said “Last card” the people that I played was shocked because not in  the second round people usually has different cards.Then it was my turn. I put down all 4s down then they continued.

The first day of camp was the best because we done cool activities to make our brain think even more.

   

Why Is Reading Important?

What do you think about reading?

Knowing how to read is really important because it can prepare you for everything in life and you can be a successful person. When you start to read you can increase your brain to think even more. You can read and discover heaps of ideas and big words. If you read a lot you can develop your reading skills and your thinking skills.

When you get a job you have to be a successful person in reading because if not you’ll never know if that job has of paper work there and you have to read them. So if I wasn’t a person that didn’t like to read I’ll start reading. Reading gives us information, reading helps us gain knowledge. The reason why we read every day is because it entertains ourselves.

People read fiction and nonfiction, fiction means those books are made up and nonfictions is real life events or true story. Books can bring us to a very scary place or it depends what kind of book you’re reading. People read and they work hard. When you read you could go to college, university and get a job, people get those things because they read in their daily lives.

Everybody wants to drive somewhere but you have to read the signs, if you don’t you might get lost,most importantly the stop sign because if we don’t stop we might cause an accident or we could die or get injured including the people that you had a accident with. Reading can be your key to unlock everything in life. When you write you have to go over your writing but you can’t because you can’t read it. When you go shopping you have to read the signs and if you can’t read the labels you don’t know where you’re going.

People can’t play any instruments because they can’t read the notes. Celebrities that are famous wouldn't be the artists they are without reading.  

So what do you guys think about reading?
