Duffy Assembly

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 we are surrounded by CAN and not CAN’T. I found Assembly motivating because he was talking about things you can do an there is never can't.

   

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 really liked doing this task because I got to rethink back to camp , I also liked talking about the differences before camp and after camp.

Kokako Infographic

 LI: To create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako Bird.

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 got to learn new facts about the Kokako Bird.

Kokako Lodge Brochure

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

   

In our activity groups for camp, we created an inside and outside brochure to advertise Kokako Lodge. We included distance between Auckland to Kokako Lodge, information about the activities, photos of student experience, catering and cabins. They provide free beds and have various activities to do and challenge yourself with. There are 6 cabins that hold up to 14 people, which is almost definitely capable of holding multiple crowds of people. We focused on providing information that sells Kokako Lodge, which means it catches people’s interest and makes them want to stay there. We enjoyed creating this brochure and being able to test our creativity with advertising and comprehension skills.

5 minutes of Camp

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

As our instructor was giving us a helmet and a harness I was thinking why do we need the helmet. I had an idea of someone falling and then that's when I was worried for my life. As I was climbing the ladder I felt scared but when I got to the top my stupid eyes looked down, I panicked because someone told me to walk across the log. I tried my best to balance myself but my whole body was shaking like I was in the coldest country. I took one step as I could hear people cheering me on telling me I could do this. I kept taking the slowest step as my legs were shaking. I almost made it but I was so scared I turned around and asked if I could come down. As I touched the ground my body stopped shaking I was ashamed that I didn’t make it to the end.

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 and interesting because I was given the opportunity to share my thoughts and express my feelings about how I felt during the high beam activity.

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 because it was cool playing around with the photos.
