Camp reflection

 Last week we went on a camp trip to Aroha Island, we went on this trip to learn lots about the environment and do the fun projects. The projects were lots of fun they included, kayaking, walking and Kiwi searching. 

The people there at camp were Tui (my class) and the other class Kereru. Kayaking with lots of fun but it was very difficult, it was difficult because we had to do 3 kilometres we had to paddle against the wind and tide.

We also had to do a 5  kilometre walk. I had lots of fun at camp, apart from when I cut my eye I got bleeding nose, but other than that it was fine. I can't wait to go there again next year. Do you think you would have fun there?

Maitai Bay Brochure

 W.A.L.T  Creating a blog post about Maitai  Bay brochure.

Last week we created a brochure about Maitai Bay. We made this brochure because earlier on that week we went on a snorkel trip to Maitai Bay. we had to do the brochure in buddies or you could be independent, but l chose a buddy, my buddy was Robert, we came up with lots of ideas for how to explain Matai Bay and what you can do. For this project we had to include lots of information about Matai Bay, but not too much otherwise anyone who picks it up well just put it back down if it's all writing. Me and Robert included  information about the natural environment, where it is and what you can do. Here's a picture of mine and Robert brochure.

   

I enjoyed this because I was writing information for other people to learn about Maitai Bay, and it was just fun. I learnt lots more about Maitai Bay because I was researching stuff to put on the brochure. what do you like about Matai Bay, and would you like to do this one day?

 W.A.L.T. uploading a post showing what we did in kiwi can today. 

Today in Kiwi can learning about respect, treating people how we wanted to be treated. We showed the by playing two games, they were called snap crackle pop and so, ma, ca, lo. This is how you play snap crackle and Pop, first you get into a group of three and you name each other, snap, crackle or pop, then you all get into a big circle and when someone says either, snap, crackle or pop, for example if someone says pop, pop has to run around the circle and go under snap and crackles Lakes which are together and try and get the jandal in the middle of the circle. whoever has the most points wins. Here's a picture of how you play so, ma, ca, lo.

The catchphrase today was, we respect our school we do because we are cool. I am enjoyed this day of kiwi can because it was lots of fun and I learnt lots of things about respect, the games were also so much fun I really like feeling exhilarated and exhausted at the end. Do you like Kiwi can  ?

Snorkelling practice

 

On Tuesday we went snorkelling to practice for when we go to Matai Bay next Tuesday. We had tree tasks to do with a buddy of our chocs, the first task was to snorkel wall holding onto a board and swim to one side of the pool and back, the second task with the same but without the board, the third tasks was to dive under the water come back up and blow the water out. It it wasn't that much but it was good practice. My snorkelling buddy was James, we had lots of fun. It was quite tiring and I did get water inside my snorkel but it was fine. I learnt how to blow water out of the snorkel after I went down. I enjoyed put my head underwater and be able to breathe. I think I could improve on holding my breath underwater for longer. Do hat do you want to go snorkelling?        

Wolf Clash

 W.A.L.T newspaper Wolf art. 

Today we created a wolf face made out of newspaper colours. First we got the outline of a wolf face and traced it onto a coloured piece of paper, we use lots of different coloured newspaper to fill in the spaces of the wolf face. It was quite difficult, the pieces of paper kept getting stuck to your fingers when you glued them, but that was fun, although it was quite hard looking for the right colours, there was a lot of black and white involved in my wall so it was easy enough. When I was looking through the newspapers it was actually quite enjoyable, because you could look at lots of cool pictures and lots of cool foods. I really liked doing this project because it was art, my favourite subject is art. What's your favourite subject?

Today I went to Kiwi can.

Today and we can you remind me all about accountability. accountability is all about owning up for what you did and doing the right thing. We played lots of games one of them was traffic lights, the rules of traffic lights are if someone says green light you have to run tried to get to the other side but if someone says red light you stop if someone says orange light you have to slow down but today we said all the colours in Maori. Here is a picture of what we were doing. 

The games were great fun, one of the reasons I love Kiwi can is because you can do lots of games and learn about lots of things. The catchphrase was we ear honest we are true we take ownership for what we do.

What I did snowboarding down south

 W.A.L.T what I did down south

Snowboarding at Cadrona on my trip to South Island.

When I grow up I want to be a snowboard instructor, so I think going to lots of mountains in South Island on our trip. My favourite mountain was Cadrona had the best snow and the best tracks that were very good for beginners. I decided to become a snowboard instructor  last year in France. I started to do snowboarding and I was inspired by it, so I want to teach it one day.  I started only doing Hillside but now I've requested to do toe side and 360 s. I hope I can get lots better and do jumps in the air and do maybe for flips. Do you want to go snowboarding someday ?

 

Today I went Go-karting at Highlands Motorsport Park.

Highlands Motorsport Park is an amazing place with lots of things to do, there are go karting races that you can participate in, there are virtual reality rooms and there is a giant track for racing cars like Ferraris. There are also lots of games you can play like skeletrix, you can power the toy cars by riding a bicycle that's stuck to the ground and doesn't go anywhere. There was an arcade video game as well with a racing car. There was also a wine smelling test where we had to smell the ingredients of the wine and guess what the ingredient was. Me, my mum and my dad went go-karting on the go karting track. We had a lot of fun racing around at high speeds, I did have a few crashes though but that was alright, and my racing name was Speedy. In the museum of cars there was a model Bumblebee about 2 or 1 ft taller than my dad, and he was made out of real car pieces. I had an amazing time at the motorsport park. Do you want to go here someday?
