Dear Mr Jones

Thank you so much for taking time of your work to help our group out in the amazing race. When you were driving us around it was good that we got a good a good placing on both of the days that you were driving and helping us out. On the first day 10th place was a great start to the race. Thanks for all the help that you gave us when we were doing the activities. With out your help our group couldn’t have done much on the days that you helped us.

An activity that I really enjoyed was going into the redwoods and having to do the orienteering were we ran through the redwoods finding the orienteering cards. I found nearly all of them it was great fun. I also enjoyed filleting the fish. It was fun learning how to because it was my first time filleting the fish. I think I do ok getting the main part out to cook. If the people there didn’t help I would never have been able to do it though. It was a good experience filleting the fish now when we go fishing I will be able to fillet them maybe.

Our team was good at working together I thought and especially with the orienteering figuring out how to get the cards and written down. Once we had got the first on it was easy onwards. So altogether I think that our group did pretty good. So thank you so much for all your help that you gave us and for the transport. Thanks.

Yours Sincerely Taylor Peddle

Dear Waihi Visitor Center

Thank you so much for accepting to take so many Tauranga Intermediate students into the Waihi Visitor Center we really appreciate it. We all learn’t a lot about the Waihi gold mine while we were here and all about the Caterpillar trucks that were up there. So thank you so much for letting us all down at the Visitor Center.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Some other thing we did that day was go to Te Puna quarry and find pictures of the statues that had pictures beside them. Our team out of this activity was doing great. After this activity we went to Katikati and had to answer questions about the murals. This activity was good once my group started to do it right because when we got there we were doing it all wrong but after a while we figured it out. So in that activity we dropped a couple of spots. After this we went out to Waihi were we had to answer all the questions. This activity was fun but at the same time challenging. We couldn’t of done this activity with out your help and letting all of us kids down in the visitors center. So thank you heaps. After we had finished this activity though we went and had to find a blue red and green car that was at the beach hop and we had to get a photo by them. Then once we had done all this we had to go to the Karangaheke track and make it through the tunnel.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Our team on day one did pretty good we ended up getting tenth. So thank you so much for helping us and letting so many kids into the Waihi visitor center were we all learnt a lot. Thank you heaps.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Dear Mr Haycook

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Thank you for coming to camp. I really appreciate you taking valuable time of work for us so that we can go to camp. With out your help we couldn’t of gone to camp. So thank you for spending the week at camp with us.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">It was awesome versing you in paintball. Even though the second game when we were versing you you wasted me when I was running up the side. That game we lost because your team captured the flag. My team’s first game that we played we won though. In the end we had lost one game and won one. I still have bruises from that day when you shot me and your team.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Unfortunately I don't think we did any other activities with you. We weren't there when you were on rafting or shooting / archery. At rafting our group still had a lot of fun. We beat the other team and was kind of close to breaking the record our time was 9:05 and the record was 8:50. So really we were still 15 seconds off. But after that the swimming was GREAT because it was so hot but nice when we went into the water.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Our group was the Try Hards we got third over all. Should of been first we were the best! It would of been cool if we were with you for the archery / shooting when you were on that. It was cool when you were just hanging around the camp as well.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">My favourite activity was paintball that was GREAT. I did play it last year (our class was the only year 7 class that was aloud). and it was fun then too. Since last year was my first time ever playing paintball so it was a bit better but this year was still awesome. I know that I shot quite a lot of people, while playing to so that makes it even better.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Camp altogether was just great, it was a lot better then spending a week at school. So thank you so much for coming and helping us out.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Dear Mr Aandewiel

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Thank you for coming to camp. I really appreciate you taking valuable time of work for us so that we can go to camp. It was awesome you helped out on the activities. So thank you for spending the week at camp with us.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Thanks for helping our group at the vertical play pen and the centipede. Those activities were great fun I got up the centipede and nearly the vertical play pen. It was awesome having you help us out so thank you heaps. We didn’t have you on any other activities though I don't think.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">My favourite activity was paintball that was awesome. I got wasted but it was still GREAT fun. In the first round we won we captured the flag but the second round we lost because they got the flag. I still have a lot of bruises from playing but if you don't have bruises then there is not really a point in playing. I shot Nico a bit though when I was hiding behind a bush and saw him shooting someone.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Other then paintball my other favourite activity was the high ropes / centipede vertical play pen and beam. So really all the high ropes stuff was awesome! It was even better since we didn’t have those activities last year it made us look forward to another activity that is great fun.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Our group was the Try Hards we got third over all. Should of been first we were the best! It would of been cool if you were at some other activities too, but it was cool when you were just hanging around the camp as well.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Camp altogether was just great, it was a lot better then spending a week at school. So thank you so much for coming and helping us out.
