Pilgrim People

The living church is called Pilgrim people / The body of Christ. Pilgrim people are people that undertakes a journey to a sacred place as an act of religious devotion. In other words they are travelers on a journey to get somewhere for example to god's kingdom but along the road there are many things that stop them.

In this picture it shows you a country girl walking down a long road with her dog and guttier. She's on a journey to get to god's kingdom but there are things that are stopping her along the road. These are some of the things that are stopping her on her journey...

• Long way to walk

In the picture it shows the sun meaning that she is there and has finished her journey and more journeys will come with her famous singing corer. In other words she has made it to god's kingdom.

I had a lot of positives from mind lab, I liked doing the monkey jam and moving my char actives around and putting it all together. I really enjoyed doing the coding for the little mot control  robots and making them move and making it work with out even touching it. I found it challenging when I was doing monkey jam that I had to always move everything around to make it work and I found the coding part about mind lab a bit challenging how you had to try found out what would make the robot work and how to do everything on the computer.
Here is one of the photos of the robots that we had to code.

Whangara Camp

Whangara camp      

Finally, we arrived at Whangara it was nice and sunny. 

I was already dying for a swim. After we unloaded the bus and got all of our bags out we had to leave them in one big group and walked over to the marae were the year 9s helpers for the camp were going to greet us on. 

The next day, we had a whole lot of cool actives. My top two would be the boogie boarding and the surfing, and the surfing was lots of fun, I catched some waves and also wiped out a couple of times and the waves were great, the boogie boarding was awesome to, we had to get fifteen  people from our active groups on one wave to bet the record of fourteen, the waves were nice and big so that was alot of help but our max of people we got was thirteen, cause one of us hoped out that was still good cause we got second. But all the actives all up together was so tiring so I had a goodnight sleep. 

The day to leave came so quick, It was just a great camp. I could stay longer.Can't wait to go to the next school camp.
