Duffys Assembly

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

Today we had Assembly which means we had to look nice and we had a very important guset his name was Marc Duffy he told us about his life story

• 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.

• I found these facts inspiring because in the future it could help me in times of need and I have always wanted to be a boxer.

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 cool because I got to use them for help

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 liked the color and the bird.

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.

I found this activity cool because I got to hang out with my friends and I got to learn new things.

 

5 minutes of camp

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

Best moments of my life

As I paddled my sweat was dripping off my head. My heart was pounding so fast I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Each time I paddled it was like a boost of confidence. My head would say ``Go back´´ I would whisper ``No you can do this´´

Then at that very moment I was paddling faster and faster. My hands were shaking and then out of nowhere my insides laughed. I wasn't scared any more. So from that moment onwards I was smiling with joy and a thought popped in my head. I started to do some tricks and after that I wasn't scared and my hands weren't shaking. As the sun went down, the light from the sun hit the waterfall. I looked into the sun and it was beautiful and I took a deep breath. It was the best moment of my life.

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. My favoreite part was when I did a reverse drive.
