Duffy Assembly

 LI: To understand how reading can change one's life.

Today we had Marc from Duffy come and talk to us about the importance of reading and how reading can make a big impact on your life.  Although Marc had some challenges in his life he used reading as a tool to get through the hard times.  Marc believes that there is only CANs and not CAN’Ts.

Key Competencies

LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used. 

Before we went to camp our challenge was to think about when we might use the Key Competencies as we faced the challenges.  When we came back from camp we looked at this and compared how we thought we would use the Key Competencies and how we actually used them. 

Tech

For tech this week, Mr Grundy showed the year 8's what to do with a piece of wood. We used the mallet and the chisel to sculpt the piece of wood. We needed to make different things like a car, aeroplane, bus, phone holder, scooter, skateboard and old car. We also used the handsaw to make a line for the piece of wood to put between it.

Brochure

 LI: To a collaborative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp

Over the last week everyone challenged themselves during the sessions at archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering. Our group collaborated to create a brochure that shows others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp.

Infographic

LI: To create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako. 

This week, everyone in LS2 has been given a set of different challenges based on our camp. For this activity we used our smart searching skills to find information about the North Island Kokako bird.

Camp collage

 LI: To create a collage of your camp highlights

This week LS2 have been celebrating our camp. I created this collage to show my time at camp and the activities I enjoyed. To make my collage effective I thought about the size of the images, the angle of the images and I tried hard not to leave any gaps between the photos.

5 mins of camp

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

When I sat on the bench I listened to the instructor what to do first we listened and she showed us the harness we have to see if there are three c’s. Second, we don't have to do tight enough.

I didn’t want to move so I went to the middle but I didn't want to do a challenge, I just wanted to get off. When i had to go down I didn’t want to go down because i thought i was going to fall flat on my face, so i went backward and bent down and when i bent down i went down and when i made it to the floor i wasn’t scared.

As i walk to the ladder my heart start to beat when i put my leg on the ladder my heart start beat faster and faster  when i was climbing up i start to take a deep breath when i make it to the stable i climb up more and more when i made it to the beam i was scared to fall and when i was at the top i start to hold to the pole i started to go to the next pole and stop there for a second i started to go to the middle, I felt proud that I was doing more than I thought I could.

I felt proud that I had done this challenge.

I thought I was gonna fall and I was so scared that the pole was so high and i didnt want to get down. When I walked to the other pole I was scared to fall so I held the rope to go to the other side when I made it to the other side. I didn't want to go to the other side, I didn't want to move.
