Forest Lakes Camp Movie

The children, teachers and parents of year 5-6 had a very successful camp early in term 1. Well organised by senior teacher, Karen Chao and well supported by Stu, Pete, Matt, Ruth, Lisa and many parents, the venue was Forest Lakes, just out of Otaki. This experience used to be a camp for Muritai's senior school and we changed it to year 5-6 in 2002 to share the opportunities around a bit more. Now from year 5-8 the children all have an external camp - Forest Lakes in year 5-6, Mt Holdsworth tramp in year 7 and Abel Tasman in year 8. These camps are great fun and very challenging for the children. We have a strong and well researched planning template and things go very smoothly as we try to stick to the tried and true formulas for success.

Matt Skilton has made a movie of the week. Check out the fun on this movie at Matt Skilton's blog.  You may have to wait a while as it is a big file. While you are there have a look at Matt's blog about his role in the school.
