Dear Dad,

Thank you very much for taking the time off work to come and help Rimu House with our Amazing Race. You cheered us on and encouraged us to finish the race when we were about to give up you encouraged us to continue the race and we ended up coming 13th.

My favaurite place we went to was Sanford's where one person from each team had to fillet a tariki and then get the clue from the bin of frozen crabs and fish I was the one who filleted the fish it was a great experience and good skill to learn.

One of the interesting activities we went to was the Tauranga Marine Boat Ramp our challenge was we got given 3 photos of boats and we had to find the matching boats and get the photo by the boat we had to get all 3 photos before we could move to the next destination. This was one of the interesting activities that we went to, because there were so many different shapes and sizes of boats.

It was funny but difficult when we had to do orienteering. We got lost in the Red Woods for 3 and a Half hours and we had to find our way out by map. We all didn’t know how to read a map so we had to guess. We got out to the road 800m away from the visitors centre and we arrived back at the Red Woods visitors centre and continued the Amazing Race.

Thank you so much for putting in the effort and time to come on Rimu Houses Amazing Race.

Thank-You

Yours Sincerely

Ruby Gooders

Dear Sanford's,

Thank you very much for letting Rimu House use your facilities and teaching us to fillet a fish. It was a great experience for many and me too. Thank you for letting us fillet your fish and showing us how to fillet a fish.

Dear Mrs Bourgeois,

Thank you so much for coming to camp and taking time off work to be with us. You helped make camp happen!! I hope you had a wonderful time at camp and had as much fun as we did!

Camp is one of my favorite things to do at Tauranga Intermediate School and camp wouldn’t have happened without the help and support of you and the other parents. One of the things that you helped and encouraged me to do was Paintball I have a fear of Paintball and you encouraged me to get in and give it a go even though I only lasted half a round thank you for getting me out there and making me give it a go!

One of my favorite activities this year was the Vertical Playpen because I dislike heights and got to the top in a fast time. One of the hardest stages of the vertical play pen was the smiley face part. It was hard to accomplish and I was proud of myself.

Another activity that I enjoyed was the Mini Raft Making. That was the night when the boys were doing the sleep out and we lit candles and floated them down the river. The sight was amazing when all the candles came to the end and floated down the river. Seeing them all down the other end was a sight that I will never forget.

One of my biggest achievements at camp was getting on a kayak and only falling out once. I was so scared and I achieved my goal by having a paddle around the area. My other achievement was getting to the top of the Vertical Playpen.

We all really appreciated the help and am so glad the you were able to take time off work and put the effort in to support and encourage others I hope you had as much fun as we did!!

Thank you so much we appreciated it. Thank you
