Camp thank you letters
Dear, parents helpers
I appreciate the time you have taken out of your life to help Pt England school on our 31st camp. I'm very grateful because you have taken care of us for three days and nights. Everyone that went to year 5&6 camp, appreciate all your hard work and help.
One of the things I really want to thank you for was for helping us out with setting up the games and activities. You also made sure we didn't get hurt. The best of all, you made sure we enjoyed ourselves and had a lot of fun. I’ve had an extraordinary time at year 5&6 camp.
I'm also very grateful to parents that helped serve food and everyone's needs were tended to. I'm also thankful for the people who made the delicious food. I want to give a big thank you for the people who brought the ingredients with their money for the kids at camp. Lots of people enjoyed the food and they say that the best thing about camp was the food.
Another amazing thing I am really grateful for is the wonderful parent helpers who put together amazing camps for kids to learn teamwork spirit. During year 5&6 camp we had a lot of people that helped make this event possible. Camp helps lots of kids learn lots of things like how to co-operate and to participate in lots of activities.
The biggest thank you is going to go to the parents that were walking up, down and around the tents, while the kids were sleeping. They had to walk up and down again and again all night to make sure that an adult knows where a kid is just in case of an emergency.

Today at home
Today, after school my mum picked me up and then we went to the 2 dollar shop. After 5 to 10 minutes we got home and I couldn’t wait to have a shower. I went straight to the bathroom and had a cold shower because I was drenched from our camp practise. Afterwards I was much more fresh and I didn’t feel as hot any more.
I wasn’t feeling hungry, so I just grabbed a chocolate milkshake out of the fridge. I finished my milkshake, then I went and did some home-work. An hour later I got hungry so I grabbed some M&M. Then it was time to pick up my sisters from Selwyn College. We got to the College a bit early so we had to park the car on the street and wait for my sisters to come out of class.
After a couple minutes of waiting my sisters finished their classes. We went home and my sister’s put their bags away and got in the shower one by one. They were exhausted and worn out because they had to walk around school with their book and laptop in their bags. All we wanted to do was rest but we had some work to do, so my sister and I started doing our homework.
Later on, I finished all of my blog posts, but then it was nearly 5:00 so we had to get ready to go to the mosque. We got there on time, I took my sabak and then me and my mum headed back home. On the way home my mum said that “we had to do the groceries”. Then we decided to go to Sylvia Park PAK'nSAVE because we were very close to Sylvia Park.
We parked in front of the grocery store and went inside. Half an hour later, We got our groceries and paid at the counter. When we got to the car I helped my mum pack all the groceries into the car. I had to read out the shopping list, and I realised that most of our shopping list was filled with things for school.
But we now spend less money on food for school because the prime minister of New Zealand and the government of education is giving free lunches to schools. Then we put all the groceries in the car my mum drove us home. After one whole hour, we got home and parked the car in front of the garage. My mum told me “to go get my sisters to help get the groceries inside the house”.
Finally after a little bit of hard work, we got all the groceries inside and put away. Then we had a little rest and got back to doing our homework. My mum went to cook dinner, my sisters and I got our home-work done. When dinner was ready, my mum called us so we could eat dinner, the food was very nice and I enjoyed it.
