Key copetencies

 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 interesting because it helped me alot.

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 fun because I learnt cool facts.

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 interresting because it made more creative.

Brochure

LI: to create a collaborative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp. 

Over the last week, the students in LS2 have challenged themselves while participating in archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering.

Our group worked together to create a brochure that gives information and shows readers why Kokako Lodge is an amazing area to go camping.

We talked about the cabins, catering and the activities. The cabins are spacious and can hold up to 12 or 14 people per cabin. There is a large kitchen in the Kokako Lodge area and you can choose whether you would like to self-cater or receive food from caterers. 

I found this activity enjoyable because it required us to work as a team.

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 the high beam activity entertaining because it challenged me to push my limits.

Up in the sky

As I climbed my legs were shaking. I looked down at the person that was holding the ladder just to make sure they were still there.I put one leg on the staple I could hear my heartbeat.I wouldn't look down because I knew that it would make things worse.I took deep breaths then I put my other leg on the staple.Each step made me want to come down but I kept going.I could hear my activity group cheering telling me to keep going that gave me confidence.

Next thing I knew I was on the top, I chuckled like I was going crazy. Everyone was telling me to keep going the more they cheered the more I got confidence. I thought I was going crazy cause when I looked around I was on the other side.

Next I walked to the middle my heartbeat was still pounding. I got to the middle. It was strange how I was so scared but I still had confidence.

I felt more confident than ever so I asked if I could do pushups, the instructor said yes so I did it. When I bent down I noticed I was looking down, even though I was a little scared at that point I still managed to do ten pushups which I think was a big accomplishment especially when I wasn’t on the ground.

They lowered me down when my feet touched the ground.I heaved a big sigh of relief.
