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. 

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.
