Key compenties

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 hard because it was hard trying to write the section two.

Duffy role model

LI: to have an acembely with duffy.

Today in the afternoon we made sure we were nice and dressed for the duffy role model. When we arrived we waited for a little while. when Mark arivied we started to sing the duffy song. after we did that, we had Marc from Duffy to 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. Last we sang the nationinal anthem.

I found the words that Marc said confusing because I did not understand some words and next i will define them.

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 easy because I just had to make a list of what we did during camp.


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 dificult because I had trouble trying to writing about the aperance in my own words.

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 hard because I was stugling with the gabs.

5 minutes of camp...

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


 “3, 2, 1, climb” I was hoping I wasn't going to fall off because I could barely see the huge view in front of me. As I first looked down I overreacted and started to get butterflies in my stomach.

It was my turn to go but I was really scared to climb and walk on the pole, so when I climbed on the first ladder I started to climb up as fast as I could to get up the top. 


When I first arrived up top it was so high that I got the chills because I am scared of heights. The pole that I was walking on was very thin and it was so scary that I started to speed walk to the pole on the other side. My heart was really racing. I thought that was it, until the instructor said to walk backwards halfway and when I did it,  I did not know if I was walking straight or not and I thought it would be a bad idea to do this.


After I made it to the middle I did a dance but I was just hoping I wouldn't fall off at all. Then I was challenged to do a three sixty! I did it but my heart was racing the whole time.


Finally the instructor told me to jump off the pole. I thought that it would be a bad idea but I had no choice so I had to jump off. My heart started to beat hard, I closed my eyes and hoped. When my feet touched the ground my friends and I really knew I had done this. This is an challenge that I will never forget.



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.
