5 minutes of Camp

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp


Under The Waterfall



I leaned into the kayak and I almost fell over in the water. I told myself 'you got this Leitu remember always take risks and be confident...' I put one foot in the kayak and it felt like it was going to flip but I went into the kayak and it started to wiggle! 

I used the paddle to push myself off from the bank. I screamed 'Ahhhhh!' My heart was beating so fast. I told myself as I pushed my paddle right to left 'Leitu you got this woahhh!' 

I accidentally put my feet off the kayak and I fell in the water as I yelled 'HELPPP!!' and I heard my heartbeat go faster. My legs and arms were shaking in the ice cold ẃater 'Help!!' I yelled. I could hear my group yelling out to me 'You got this Leitu!! ' which gave me more confidence in myself. So I got myself into the kayak and paddled away. 

As I paddled to the rock then I get out and said to myself ‘Good job for being confident in yourself. I was so proud of myself for facing risks'.


Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt.

  1. Talofa Lava Leitu ,

    Wow , What a great 5 minute snashopt about your kayaking recount. I enjoyed reading about what you found hard about this activity ? What you liked? what you were afrarid of and being confident about taking a risk. Reading your 5 minutes of camp tell's us how your emotions felt as you were kayaking. Glad to see that you've made your blurb bold so its easier for us to read and understand thats it not part of your recount.

    What did you not like about kayaking? why?

    Keep up the great work Leitu !
