Camp

In room 8 we are learning about this because when it comes to camp you could see what you wrote down and have more confident in yourself and what you gotta do.

At Camp

Today our class we were given a task to work together to product which place they will be going to. We rolled the dice six times but unfortunately we didn't get high numbers but only high number we got was 4. Lake Waihonu is the place they are gonna be going to because it's the highest and Marama Island, and Mount Albert were a tie with the same numbers.

Trust Challenge


Today as a class we were given a task to do. The task we were given was based on camp as we were told several times. We were given numbers 1 & 2, number two was told to put their right hand on their partners shoulders. Number one was told to walk and guide them, down to the front gate of the school.This challenge we faced was an extraordinary hard for two people as a team because it was very difficult in different ways of trusting your own partner. It was very difficult for me to walk with my eyes close. But my partners instructions were loudly said, I could hear him clearly. I followed what he said. We made it carefully to the front gate. When we accomplished the task, my teacher called us over the number 2’s. When the teacher reversed what she had said in the classroom she said what we can do anything we like but not aloud to go to the unrestricted areas I felt excited by tricking my partner and making it back to the class safely. When we made it back to the classroom we were told to make a maze, we didn’t know we could mess up the class by throwing the chairs around and move all desk’s around the classroom. There were two people chosen two face the board one was picked to give instructions and one was picked to close their eyes. When that was done the teacher kept on spinning the close eyes person. It was hard for him to know where to go with the instruction person. The one with the close eyes had to walk and their other partner had to give instructions while standing at the board.

Pentecost

In room 8 we are learning about Pentecost it's about when the disciples/followers of Jesus they were in a small little room. They were afraid because how they crucified the Messiah and they got scared that it might happen to them.

Tripod

Yesterday in the afternoon with out knowing we zoomed right into our work. We were going to make a construction of tripods. We were given materials and these were: 1m string and 3 short/long sticks. We were expected to make a tripod before school ended. She said we could have a partner to work with. I saw Elaine she was right next to me. I was confused with how to make the the tripod the same as her. I asked her if she wanted to work cooperatively. She replied "yeah sure." So Elaine and I shared our ideas about how we could make a tripod. We made our tripod using long sticks and 2 1m lengths of string. When we'd finished our tripod, we made it stand, but Elaine and I weren't that confident with our tripod because it wasn't standing still. We were lucky enough that we had one more string left. Mrs Dines said " 5 minutes left." I had a shock on my face so I rushed to complete our tripod and we finished. We stood it up it just made me proud because our tripod was standing.
