Duffy Role

This afternoon I have done my first Duffy for 2021. First, I picked I book that I have chosen from the library. The book I have chose the worlds worst children by David Williams. Next, Mrs Anderson helped me right my Duffy script for assembly. After wards I practised my script before assembly so that it could be fluent. Lastly, I presented it to the whole school about the books I chose, the escorts, and the picked ones.

Created with my teacher task | Care Awards

This week I have helped my teacher with blue tacking a lot of art work with other people. First when my teachers printed something myself and other people laminated paper to be decorated on our class wall. Next we used blue tack to stick on the wall for the people to see. 

This is an image example that I did:

Teach a small group of juniors to play a simple game | Care Awards

LI.to teach a small group of juniors to play a simple game

Today I tought some of the juniors to play cops and robbers. Cops and robbers is like tag, but the difference is that if the cops tag the robbers they have to sit down in a current place. For the robbers to escape the robbers need to count to 20 seconds so that the juniors can be involved in the game. First I needed to find juniors that wanted to play this game. Next I told them the instuctions so they know how to play this game. Then we played the game. Lastly we played rock paper siccors shoot snake addition.

Enter a competition | Care Awards

LI.to enter a competition.

This was my fourth task for my confidence Care Awards. This activity was to enter any competition and I did tennis. First I wrote what club champs were to people who didn't know what I was playing. Next I wrote what I did during the club champs. I enjoyed doing club champs because I had good experience with playing older kids.

How to stand up to bullies | Care Awards

LI.to create a DLO about how to stand up to bullies.

This was my third task of the silver confidence care award. The activity was to show different ways of standing up to bullies. First I wrote the things that I know then researched other ways. Next I wrote a word called WITS stands for walk away, ignre, tell an adult, and seek for help. This can help during bullying. I enjoyed doing this activity because I can teach people if they are bullied doing these things can help them. 

Duffy Role Model Assembly | Marc

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

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 the words that Marc said intresting because he taught us how reading is important in life.

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 enjoyed this activity because I was able to see how much I used the key competencies during camp. 

Tech Reflection | Creating Pizza

LI.to create pizza. 

Today the Year 7's went to the Tamaki College for our food tech. This was our fourth session with Mrs Heka, and we were creating pizza. We listened to Mrs Hekas instructions to get all the ingredients, and the steps of making it. After it was created we were able to taste what we have made. I found this activity fun because I was able to eat what I had made with my partner. 

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 fun because I was able to share

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 was able to create a collage that showed what I 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 intresting because I found out that there is a south island bird that has orange flaps instead of having blue ones.

5 minutes of camp

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

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 was able to tell what I felt like by writing it down.

The SCARY High Beams. 

“Does she have 3 C’s? Helmet secured?” said the instructor. “Yes!” replied my teammates. “You can start now!” said the instructor. My whole body was shaking in fear as I climbed the ladder step by step. My face felt hot, and my hands became sweaty. As I finished climbing the ladder I started to climb the staples that were attached to the pole. My heart beated even more as I knew my teammates were watching behind me. From this point I had finished climbing the staples. Now I needed to walk on the log that was metres apart from the ground. Everyone in my group watched me as I gripped tightly on the rope that was being held by the instructor and another teammate. As I walked slowly I could feel my legs shiver in fear, but my teammates encouraged me that made me a bit confident. Not long after I was able to reach the other side of the pole, and I hugged it and said I love you. I was still scared at that moment as I still needed to go back in the middle to get down. The instructor told me if I would like to dance or do something high up in the air. I responded with fear but my instructor encouraged me to do 5 star jumps on the log. As I started doing my star jumps I started to feel even more scared. After I finished the star jumps I was ready to go down because my heart was beating even more than when I first started it. While I was going down I could see the raft building activity team coming up the hill and I could see a lot of trees around me. After I touched the ground I felt proud of myself, and my teammates cheering me.
