Once upon a time there was a ugly Hippo called Jeff. He has dreamed of having a girlfriend but when he comes around them he farts or says (My Name Is Jeff). So they run off choking on his fart. So he went back to his house which Is a piece of grass (He's poor). He had one friend that was a fish but sadly he ate him because he was hungry. Poachers came onto to the hippos secret land. The poachers names are Clarence, Sassy, Big lez, and Donny. They come every month to choose one of us to slaughter (You) said Lez pointing to the bully Naughton. Jeffrey giggled.

Wellington Camp Writing

Katie and I were helping each other with the animation creator. We put together a dog with a  colourful body. We worked together building sausage ears and a round face to look real, Katie did all the colourful textures on the body and on the face. It's amazing how people can make these technology gadgets to create a masterpiece of work into a animation. Now you can see how they make movies and create characters. Katie and I had a magnificent time in Te Papa. We would love to go again. Thank you Mrs Cuming and Mrs Fielder.

Write story here:

Back in 2008 Our family friend came over from australia and we decided to have a party and got the Digbys to come down…. Huntah and I decided to play some cricket with the bouncy ball and I accidently hit it up onto the roof.  i tried to get up onto the roof to get the ball. i'm up and I see it I slowly step closer and closer. I have a slim chance to reach it. Bang i fall hitting all sorts of obstacles on the way down. “Smack” the sound as I hit my head onto a metal table also cutting my ear open on a nail.

Before I know it hear the fire brigade alarm go up and I hear the sound of Tom Coppens voice. Before I just fall asleep I get lifted up into the ambulance. I am rushed to hospital.

I was told that My heart was changing beating speeds for at least a minute, until they got my heart going again normal again, as I arrived at hospital It's all a blur from there on. I woke up the next morning as my eyes slowly came back into focus. I can see mum and dad sitting on the chair watching me struggle through the pain in my head. As I woke It  brought a smile to their faces that i'm awake.

I look around as Everything is coming back. I'm in the car, on my way home. Once   in once I had to go to MRI scans to make sure my head is going to be ok. How ever each morning when i hopped out of bed, my left leg would not cope to stand up straight. Throughout the year my head got better and better as all the symptoms have faded. I'm good as new to this day. it's just a lesson. Don't climb on a old roof and fall 4 meters. That's what one knock can do these days!   

DreamWorks Animations Day Story For Camp.

DreamWorks  Animations

At Te Papa  we were playing  around with the DreamWorks  Animations. They had computers set to different characters to change the colour and their actions. They could make their faces change to a frown and change their eyes to different shapes.

Whanau Leadership

On Camp our oldest members in our whanau group had the responsibility to look after a junior. I had the responsibility to look after Katie while crossing the road and going near the water. Sarah had the responsibility of working with Kirsten. When we went to Te Papa Gallipoli exhibition Katie started getting scared. After seeing all the blood and guns and I helped her get through knowing what happened in war and teaching her about what I was learning in that stage at the same time.
