Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter Rescue Compilation


Helicopters are really useful to the Air Force and rescue teams such as Westpac helicopter rescue. They are much different from airplanes because unlike airplanes helicopters can hover in one place (stay still while in the air) and can go straight up from the ground but airplanes have to move forward when going up. Police also use these machines to chase down or keep track of cars and suspects getting away . Westpac also help get into tricky spots and pick up patients and take them to the nearest hospital for treatment. Helicopters are helpful all over the world. Westpac is also a big help on the program piha rescue a beach rescue show . Westpac helps get patients to the hospital quick.

My Thoughts About Camp

Team 5’s camp is coming up next week and I am really excited about it and Im sure everyone is aswell and so are the teachers. My teacher Mr Harris must be because it’s his first camp at Pt England . Last year’s camp was cool but this year has got to be better. It’s called ‘Take Charge’
and yesterday and my team is called the ‘Thinkers’ , our leaders are Tamati and Racheal. We did 2 activitys one was we had to come up with a chant and our second activity was we got givin one set of the hall chairs , e 4 separte class chairs and 1 big mat .

Rock up at camp was one cool thing we did and there were alot of cool thing’s like rock climbing, Archery and other things that I liked. My favourite one was dunker

One of the things I enjoyed about camp ‘TC’ was Rock Up but I think it should be called push up because they make us do alot of push up’s. We had 5 activity’s , my favourite one was the dunker . We were lucky because we were the first group to do it and we enjoyed it. At the end they anounced the winning team and we won . Our prize was a can of fizzy and a choclate.
