Fear Factor Challenge

On Monday 5th of March Room 5 at Pine Hill School went to Camp Sutton. We did lots of challenges at Camp Sutton.

The fear factor challenge had 5 different challenges. One was a team challenge. In this challenge teams had to fill up the bucket of water with cups full of water. The winning group depended on how much water was in the bucket. In our group we passed the water into the other persons cup and they had to keep on going until they reached the bucket. Each group had to fill up the bucket until the pot of water was gone and then sit down at the end.

Another part of the Fear Factor challenge was the Quiz Challenge. One member from each team had to answer questions from a quiz to earn more points to win immunity. When you won immunity you got to wear a necklace and you could give someone your chores or ask them do something for you.

People from each team also did the Food Challenge.Each person had to eat or drink a special meal that had a horrible name. One was pineapple, weet-bix and tomato sauce. It was really disgusting!

In the Rip Challenge you had to pick a person from your team to rip a mintie wrapper from the outside to make a paper chain. Dione and Jasmine were really close and the other people did very but Jasmine won this challenge.

The last part of the Fear Factor challenge was the Art Challenge. You had to pick a person from your group to draw someone. The class then voted on the drawing that looked the most like the person. Nikita won this Fear Factor challenge.

The Hound Dogs won fear factor immunity.

We thought going on Camp Sutton was fun and the Fear Factor challenge was really challenging.

Survivor Sutton Tribal Council and Camp Concert

On Monday the 5th of March 2007 Room 5 of Pine Hill School, Dunedin New Zealand went on school camp.
We went to Camp Sutton for school camp, near Middlemarch in Central Otago. The theme for our camp was Survivor Sutton 07.

On Thursday night a tribal council meeting was held. A tribal council meeting is when the camp adults vote someone off the camp. Most adult’s voted Adrian off because he burnt the toast and had smelly feet. Debbie didn’t like his legs. Mrs Ritchie voted for Mrs Jewiss to go away from Camp Sutton. Adrian was voted off and he was really sad when he left.

On Thursday night we also had a concert. Mrs Jewiss gave Mrs Ritchie a make over because Mrs Ritchie voted for Mrs Jewiss to go away from Camp Sutton, so Mrs Jewiss was doing pay back. Mrs Jewiss put mousse and gel in Mrs Ritchie’s hair and dark eye shadow on her eyes and brushed her hair with a hearth brush and brushed her teeth. She looked funny. At the concert there was also acting, singing, dancing, mirror miming and puppets. It was really fun that night.

Survivor Sutton Salt Lake Experience

On March 5, 2007 Pine Hill School went to Camp Sutton. On Wednesday we walked to the Sutton Salt Lake where we found a geocache. A geocache is a container hidden in a secret place. These are all around the world. You put things in them so you can take other things out. The Salt Lake is the only Saline Salt Lake in the Southern Hemisphere. We walked across the Salt Lake because it had no water in it but when it is full it is less than 1 metre deep. When we got to the other side we sat down and ate rice crackers and then we painted the view. We painted mountains, the Salt Lake and the sky with watercolor paints. After that we wrote our names on the bottom of the salt lake with sticks then we walked the long walk back to the car park. On the way we saw lizards and we caught some. We looked under a big rock and found two lizards but we only caught one of them. Then we got our class photo taken on a big rock. We rode our bikes back to camp. After that we saw a cyclist from San Francisco and he took a photo of us.
It was a really fun and tiring day.
