Activity Group Collage

Our activity group worked collaborative to make this camp collage. We added in a few activities we took part in. We tried to overlap the pictures as well as framing the pictures.  We added in as many pictures as we can to show our learning. We took part in chariot racing, orienteering, high ropes, archery and adventure base.

Camp Book Diary

 

During camp we had our own personal camp diaries. We wrote our reflection of the day and how we felt along with some fun activities we took part in. We now transferred it to a digital version so we could share it to our families and friends and display what we did at camp.  I added in pictures that matched the day so they could see it visually through the pictures. 

Kokako Bird Infographic

To show our understanding of the Kokako Bird we made an info-graphic about it. We also added images to show the appearance of the bird.  Did you know that the Kokako bird prefers to leap then fly. I also didn't know that that it was a native bird to New Zealand. 

Meat Pie Fillings

Tech at Tamaki college was a blast , in food tech we prepared our fillings for our meat pie. I worked collaboratively with MIshaan we managed to complete this task successfully. We first added in the diced onions then added in the mince , after this step we slowly added in the stock which will kind of make the mince more thick we now added in the corn starch this made it even more thick so there was enough pies to make for me and Mishaan. I can't wait for next week as we will finally finish off making our pies. 

Futsal and Tennis

Today we went down to the Marist club futsal and tennis courts to have a little feel of how to play the real game in futsal since we have been taught it by our instructor Martin. I captained the black team we had a draw with our two games it was kind of like a round robin. We then got to play a bit of tennis I thought this was fun since I haven't really played this sport properly. I thought it was going to be hard but it wasn't all you had to do was to keep your eye on the ball and say bounce hit. I would like to thank Martin and Neville for taking this program. 

5 minutes of Camp

Flying High

As my tummy was rumbling , I could hear my heart racing. It was time to fly up in the sky. I just wanted to get this over and done with. Thoughts racing through my mind I didn’t know what to do.

“ Flyer are you ready? “ instructor shouted.

“ Mia flying! “ I replied . Off I went, I went flying up high , high up in the sky. Whoosh! Feeling the cold breeze from the wind when I was swinging from side to side. Trees, fences, grass I could see everything from this point of view.

Now it was time to go down, I could feel the sweat rushing down my face , Click! Click! As I was cracking knuckles. Slowly like a tortoise I went down. It wasn’t as shocking as I thought it was going to be.

Screaming inside, I now accomplished my goal of not being terrified of heights . Was it true? Was I dreaming?

After our camp trip we wrote a recount of our favourite camp activity. This writing was 5 minutes of camp which meant that you had to write a 5 minute recount about your favorite activity in camp.  We wrote My favourite camp activity was probably the Flying Kiwi, I found this fun because I have never tried this before and it would be fun experiencing something else. I used the structure " T.R.E.E" which is Title, Reveal , Events and Ending. 

Water Cycle Feedback

In our reading we red a book  that related to our water cycle that is linked to our Inquiry focus. To show our learning we had to find a critical friend that will give us feedback on what we did right and some negatives but in a polite way.  Mishaan said that I spoke really clearly while talking about the answers and my side of the story. I thought Mishaan did really well giving good opinions to her part of the story.
