Arthur's pass camp

                                                  Arthur’s pass camp#
 Mum came into the room I pretended to be asleep. Today was camp I woke up and mum was shaking me “time to get up Rhea”she was saying to me. I know that I am not really asleep and that I am just acting but I really feel like I am asleep. I arrive at school I just remember that today is camp.I was feeling a bit sick and anxious but just thinking about it made me feel even more sick.in my head I was worrying about spewing on the bus. We all got our stuff onto the bus I had to chose the front seat because I get car sick so me and Indy sat in the front the whole way there and back.Both me and Indy wanted to go by the window so half the way there we would swap so that we could both sit by the window.We also both wanted to listen to music so the person that was not sitting in the window seat listened to the music. When we got to Arthur’s pass we met this guy called Logan,Logan was tall,dark hair he liked to trick people,you can really see that he is an outdoors person and he always wears and red waterproof jacket with black dark long pants ,he was our activity guide.The first activity we did was orienteering,orienteering is when you get a map and a compass and find things in our case it was a white Wooden post with words on it.I was in a group with Sahara,mark,Bridget,sonny,Dayna,darn and carlin.All we were doing the whole time was running here and there here and there it was really tiring.when we got back to the lodge we just got to have free time in our bunk rooms The best part of camp was probably the snow because me and Indy rolled big snow balls but the boys keeped on smushing them.We also made this big snowman,Darren rolled it nearly all day that is how big it was the snow man was it about 7 feet high.Me and Indy also made these big snow balls and we sat on them like they were sets and then we wanted to make some more big ones but they keeped on falling apart so instead we just used them to make foot rests for us when we were sitting on our big snow balls. Arthur’s pass was the best camp that I have ever been on and I have only been on two camps so far, mown and Arthur’s pass but I have to say Arthur’s pass was way-way-way better.

hunting

Hunting is where you kill an animal like deer,rabbits and ducks. Hunting is kind of like tramping but you also kill an animal but how can it be fun to kill an animal.My opinion is in the middle I will be showing you the good side and the bad side let begin right so first is the bad side and then the good side will be coming up.


 Just because Hunting can give you free meat does not mean that it is good. Hunting can cause more suffering than killing animals.Hunting can can cause people to die as well as animals.Animals deserve to live.Hunting is also bad for the environment. You can kill native plants and endangered animals and they can become extinct.Not like animal extinction but like this no more of the native plants because of hunters that go through the bush,this can also cause the native bush to get destroyed.This is why hunting should not be allowed.


 Poaching is illegal hunting and it is a big problem around the world.An example of this is shark finning which is when poachs illegally catch sharks cut the fins of and release the shark back into the sea.This is very cruel beacase sharks once the fins have been cut off the shark can nolonger swim which causes it to drown.This is why poachers need to be stoped.

 Hunting is bad for the environment and endangered species.Sometime for inexperienced huntings mistake a species that is ok to hunt with an an endangered species.An exmple of this in NZ is takehe,which are endangered,being mistakeion for a pokeko and accidently killed.Trophy hunting is also a big problem.Trophy hunting to when you go to places like africa and hunt big game animals like lions,tigers,rhinos,giraffes,elephants. This is a problem because soon these animals might go extinct.An example of this is the white rhino it was hunted almost to extinction by trophy hunters who just wanted the tukes for ivey.This is why hunting has a negative impact on endangered species.

Meat at the shop has lots of chemicals that are bad for your body.You should go hunting not just for the sake of it you shloud go hunting for the free meat,it has no chemicals that are bad for you body you should go hunting more often.The meat that you bye still has the hormons from the animal in the meat and the hormones in an animal is very bad for a human body sometimes it can make you very sick and you don’t want the bad in your chemicals body.This is why you should go hunting more often.

Hunting is great,to get your kids off their computer and out and about.Hunting is a great sport it is a good survival skill to have when you are young because then when you are older so when you are in a position and you have no food you know that you can go hunting.Someone with a great experiences to have and you can spend quality time with your family and you are not stuck inside doing nothing, but if you hunting you should not hunt endangered animals.This is why I advise you to take your kids hunting.

 Taking your kids and family hunting is very good you just have that quality time with them.The thing is if you go hunting you should not hunt endangered animals because if you do they could become extinct.This is a very good skill to have it shows you a lot of things that you need to know about life and how to get your own food and parents this is something that you would want your kids to learn before they leave home and live there own life.so get your kids out into the wild with hunting,it is great.
