Dear Mr Jacobsen. This a thank you letter for being such a great help to camp by organising cyclo ball, killer zone and also for being an excellent judge at the year 5&6 camp concert. When i was watching the other people play cyclo ball i learnt to be patient, honest and to never give up. When i was playing killerzone with my team piwakawaka i learnt participation, teamwork and to work hard. Everyone loved your games.. You were a great help to year 5&6 camp. Without you no one would think of killer zone or cyclo ball and also without you some camp groups will have to sit out and do nothing. From: Mary |
