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.

Brochure

 LI: To 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 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.

I found activity fun because I got to explain 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.

Kokako 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.

I found this activity fun because I got to learn new information about the kokako bird. 

Kapa Haka Performance

Today we watched a kapa haka group perform for the school.

The first thing that happened was that they did an entrance ceremony and then started to perform. When they entered they used a conch to let the people know they are coming. Then they would introduce weapons and tools during a song and dance.

The last thing my class did was play a Maori game called Maui and Matua with Matua Ngarimu. We used the rakau's and we would have to move to the left if they said Maui but if they say Matau we would move right. 

We thanked the kapa haka group by the boys from our kapa haka group performing the haka.

I enjoyed watching this kapa haka performance. My favourite part was when they showed different moves for the poi.

Maritime Museum

LI:To study the history of New Zealand maritime explorers.

Yesterday LS1 went to the maritime museum. We went to the museum to explore and find information about boats and famous sailors.

We learnt about sailors like Captin Cook. We also learnt about different typers of boats that famous sailors used. When I was with Lee I learnt about the sailors who found New Zealand.

It was really fun exploring the museum.
