Camp Reflection

From the 18th to the 19th of October 2017 Kahikatea team were on camp at the Rotorua Lakes Ranch. On Wednesday which was the day we arrived was packed full with exciting things that we did. There were different groups from group 1 to 8. I was in group 8. First my group did kayaking, I was a bit nervous getting inside the kayak because it wobbled, but after a little while of paddling around the lake it was really fun. next we did rock climbing then the scavenger hunt and then raft building. we managed to fit our whole group of 10 people on our raft. Those were our activities for that day. For dinner we had lasagna and for dessert we had apple crumble and ice cream. On the Wednesday we had a talent show and lots of people had great performances. The next day was Thursday and our first activity was slug gun shooting then orienteering and then the mud run. we sloshed through water and mud. After that our group went in the hot pools. Our last activity was horse riding. I was very nervous getting on the horse but  after a while as we were walking along the track on the horses it was really fun and it was my favorite activity. For dinner we had macaroni and cheese and for dessert we had jelly and ice cream.  Friday was the last day and on the way back to school we all went to the hot springs. It was a super fun camp!


This was my group on the raft we built and it was floating on the water!




This was me when my leg was stuck in the mud when I  was doing the tough guy challenge!

This was when my group was kayaking. It so much fun. There's  me in the orange kayak!

My term 3 review

Term 3 was a great term and we got to do some cool things like our production. It was really fun and  it was my first production too.

I liked doing more writing this term and recapping on similes. The book" wonder" has been really good which our teacher has been reading to the class. One of my favorite things this term was doing the calendar art. I'm really happy with my art too! and cross country was fun too, I came in 7th place for the 11 year old girls. It was fun but tiring. I think term 3 was great!

 

This is a video of my speech term 2!

poem

As my paint brush glided across the page I was almost at the next stage. As the colors swam across the paper they flew so vibrantly like an exploded rainbow lorikeet. But of course the colors had no feet so they stayed exactly on my calendar art. but remember I was only at the start.

This is a video of the song room 8 played. Unfortunately I was sick so I could not be there. But we practiced a lot that term and it was quite fun rehearsing. I was practicing the bass guitar for the performance. I would have really liked to be in it that day!

Production blog

In term 3 2017 we did a Kahikatea team production called Choices for Life. It was really fun and we put in a lot of hard work. Especially the teachers. I was a tree in the performance. The production was a big success and I really enjoyed it.


This was when we were singing the end song!

Reflection 11.08.17

Maths: In maths this week we I found that working with groups on the mat with the figure it out book was a bit difficult because the questions were a little hard. I liked solving the maths questions in our book with the donut gang group.

Reading: In reading this week I liked doing book talk and finishing my sentences with the spelling words. I also enjoyed doing the handwriting.

Writing: In writing we practiced writing our letters and making sure that they went the right way and I liked using the colours to colour code them.

Integrity Games

In term 1 Kahikatea team organized some games that we made up as a group. we were teaching them to Rata team years 1 and 2. Me and my groups game was an obstacle course and it involved a lot of equipment.  I enjoyed helping the little ones and teaching them our game.
