Math: in maths we have been doing brain box. I quite like it because its a great opportunity to have fun with a group and also be learning some useful information.

Reading: in reading we did nothing.

Writing: in writing we have been doing free writing, we could write about anything we like, I found it quite fun because I liked writing about how it's  better to live in the country than in the city.

Lakes Ranch Camp

                                              🐴Camp🐎

Orienteering: orienteering was definitely the worst activity. I didn't even get how to work the compass until after the activity was over. but the bit at the end it was actually quite fun because nobody could walk in a straight line, mind you, I couldn't walk straight either.

Mud Run: the mud run was actually quite fun but my nerves wouldn't allow me to have fun, either way I still came last. Anyway it was nice to cool down. It wasn't actually that muddy, we just ran through the lake.

Horse riding:Horse riding was definitely the best activity by far. I was on shuffles who was the best horse I have ridden on a horse trek or something like that.

Kayaking: kayaking was easy because I'd done it before, in fact, I have a kayak at home and go kayaking in the river at home. we had a race after some free time, I thought I did have a reasonably strong chance of winning but actually I came close to last, oh well, at least I had fun. After the race we did walking on water, it was heaps of fun but a bit wobbly!

Talent show!: the talent show was so much fun, I was in 2 groups. The 1st was a dance group with Isla and Gracie, and we were doing their exam dance, (they're in the level below me for dance(we go to the same dance school)) we were called blue skies. The 2nd group was a cheer leading group with Kayla, Amelia, and we were going to do it with Isabella, but she quit, so Dareeya took her place. We were called fab 4. My favourite act was the parents act, they put on masks with pictures of Mr Gemmel, Mrs Hobbs and Mrs Strathern on them, and danced.

Campfire: after the talent show we went to the campfire and roasted marshmallows on kebab sticks, Once Jody gave me 3 marshmallows but she let me get away with it. after marshmallow-roasting we sang the national anthem and our school song, pikia to tauto maunga.

Next Day😜 

Rock Climbing: Rock climbing was our first rotation on day 2, You had to climb a wall and ring a bell, it was lots of fun. Amelia couldn't reach the bell so she brought the broom up with her, it was funny to watch. Group 5 was doing horse riding when we were climbing, Group 5 was the all boy group. Josh's did a poo right at the closest point to the rock climbing wall.

Scavenger hunt: the scavenger hunt was lots of fun, especially as nobody had any idea where to find a silver fern but there was one sticking in our window so I knew exactly where to find one, but no one would listen to me so I snuck off and got it while the others collected the poo that Josh's horse did while we were rock climbing. 

Raft Building: raft building was really fun, our raft was really sturdy, even though it tipped over, then we realised that it needed to be the other way around. anyway it was lots and lots and lots and lots and I could go on forever but I'm not going to, of fun.

Slug Gun Shooting: slug gun shooting was really fun, you had to try and shoot these metal ducks that when you shoot bounce back and up inside a metal box that made a clang! noise when you hit it, and there was also wheat bags that made a funny noise when you hit it. there was a competition,the wheat bag was 1 point, the cans that had been set up were 2 points, the box was 3 points and the ducks were 5 points. I hit the wheat bag once, the box once and a duck once(you only get 3 turns). I tied in first place with Carter.

Burma Trail: the Burma trail was so much fun, I was in the no torches group, so we had to actually use the rope to guide us. The people at the front were always screaming so I thought that we were going to go through a river, right? wrong, the parents were just trying to scare them, for some reason I didn't get scared at all! 

Next Day😃

Kerosene Creek: after we left Lakes Ranch we went for a soak in kerosene creek, a naturally hot creek, it was very nice.

My over all rating of the camp would probably be 9 out of 10 because there were injuries and 3 people went to hospital.


I was very disappointed when we had to leave because I was having so much fun!

Math: in math we have been learning about measurement and place value. I have been enjoying them greatly because I am quite good at them. math is one of the subjects I love so why wouldn't I be enjoying it?

Reading: in reading we have been doing plays because of the upcoming production. I absolutely love doing plays, they're so much fun and I'm overjoyed. I love adding expression and knowing I don't just sound plain BORING.

Gymsport: At gymsport I came 5th! I was so amazed, I really like gymsport and, although I always try my best I have never got a placing before, it was so exiting and fun.

Enviro: On enviro day we only got the afternoon with room 3 because they didn’t come in the morning and I don’t know why. Anyway in room three we made pictures of ourselves climbing up to reach the stars of matariki. It was fun.

Inquiry

Room 8: In room 8 we have been learning about the musical elements. There is pitch, high and low, tempo, fast and slow and dynamics, loud and soft. We also learned that as well as genre in reading there is also genre in music.We also learnt about the difference between beat and rhythm. 

Room 9: In room 9 we have been learning about the history of pirongia and the treaty of waitangi. we went for walks around the village to the redoubt and the museum and finally the barracks. after that we made slide shows about what we had learnt on our trips around the village, here is the link for mine:King Tawhiao

Room 10: In room 10 we learnt about how to show integrity. we made up integrity games for the juniors and boy was Mrs Hobbs proud! we also made docs about our games, here is the link for mine Jump under over find

Reading: Reading is my best and favorite subject. I really like the way that our tasks in reading are really creative. I enjoy reading as it is my favorite thing to do, I also enjoy having the school librarian as my teacher.

Maths: Maths is my 2nd best and favorite subject. I like the group that I’m in because the work that we get is not to hard and it’s not to easy for me. I enjoy the way that maths activities in this class is made exciting and I enjoy maths more in this class.

Writing: Writing is my absolute worst subject. The reason I don’t like writing  is because it’s so different to reading and maths. Although I don’t like writing I like what we’re doing now for writing.

Reading: I really like where I am for reading. I’d like to try and remember to bring my book for book talk more often. I am interested in the authors Judy Blume and Michael Morpurgo.

Maths: I really enjoying the fact that we got to make up maths equations. Unfortunately because of my big equation now dylan calls me bragger, it's actually kind of funny. I felt nervous in the maths pat, i thought i’d never finish in time, but i did. I was very excited when my computer told me i’d won a bronze medal!

Writing: I really do not like writing but Mr Gemmell has made it fun and I am actually starting to enjoy writing, just a little bit, but it’s a start. I guess I made it seem like I was eating fish and chips in my food experience writing but it was actually just chips.

Spelling: My term goal for spelling is list P. sometimes I feel I cannot achieve my goal but if I don’t think I can achieve it it’s silly to set it.
