A respected leader

LI: To complete a presentation on a respected leader

This is my fourth task I've completed to get my silver respect badge. 

During week ten, on Saturday I created a presentation on a respected leader. I worte how a leader guides their team and motivates/supports them when they need it most. I also wrote how a leader should not act. An irresponsible leader would act like they know everything and avoid showing grattitude. I think a good leader who shows these values is Sulia who is the head girl of PBS.

I've found this activity interesting because I had the oppertunity to show people what a true leader is.

Collate a collage showcasing life at PBS

This is my second task I've completed to get my silver respect badge. 

During week ten, on Friday I created a photo collage showcasing life at PBS. Some of the photos were from the PBS website showing how students work during class and some were from photos camp showing how we collaborate.

I've found this activity interesting because I had the oppertunity to showcase life at PBS.

Write a thank you letter to a teacher or staff member

This is my first task I've completed to get my silver respect badge. 

During week nine I've written a thank you note to a teacher and a staff memeber. The first thank you letter I wrote was to Mrs Pryde. I wrote this letter for her because she helped us at camp during the hike. The second thank you letter I wrote was to Mrs Caroline. I wrote this letter for her because she helped during the whole week of camp, and she also helped the people who got injured.

I've found this activity fun because I got take the oppertunity to show how I appreciate the teachers who helped us on camp.

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.  I found this activity fun because I can now share how I used the key competencies during camp.

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

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.

I found this activity fun because I can now share my memories from camp.

5 Minutes of Camp

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

A high beam experience. 

“Ready, Set, Climb!”Now it’s the time for me to start climbing. I hesitated as I raised my foot and laid it on the first step on the ladder. I was shaking on the inside with fear as thoughts were flying around in my head. I started to carry on climbing the ladder as my heart started racing.

“Start climbing on the staples!” the instructor yelled out as I got to the final step on the ladder. I took my first step onto the closest staple to me. I knew I had to try and make it to the top. I raised my left leg onto the next staple. I carried on until I made it to the beam.

Before I could lay one foot on the beam I could feel myself shaking but I knew I needed to at least try and make it onto the beam. I put my left leg on the beam and pushed my other leg onto it. I could hear my group supporting me.

Then I heard the instructor yell out, “Do you want to go halfway or all the way?” I thought to myself if I go all the way my group would feel proud of me. So I replied, “I want to go all the way!” As I took my first step I gripped onto the rope and carried on walking across the beam.

Once I made it to the next pole I hugged it as if it was my friend. I walked to the middle of the beam while my legs were shaking and both of my hands gripped the rope attached to me. Before I went back down I tried to balance on one leg and then try to touch my foot.

After that, I needed to lean backwards while facing the trees. When I was ready I pushed off the beam, and on the way down I watched how my group was smiling and clapping for me.

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.

I found this activity fun because I got to share my high beam experiance.

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