2017 Year 8 Camp.

2017 Year 8 Camp!

On the 24th - 26th of May we have our annual Year 8 Camp! We had the opportunity to camp at the Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp grounds. Throughout the year 8 students, We were all set up into different teams. Thames, Coromandel, Kauri and Kauaeranga. Lucky me I was in Kauri! In Kauri there was 6 in each team, Kauri A & B. Each team had almost the same amount in their own team.

Out of all of the activities I got to say I enjoyed Go Karts and Paintball. Paintball was the first activity we had for our second day of camp, It was fun. We all had energy and were pumped to run around and shoot each other. It felt like betrayal shooting my own teammates but I had fun, Heaps of fun. Until out of nowhere, I got shot in the neck by Christopher! I did have a little sook but I just wanted my revenge. Sadly I didn’t get it but I will one day, hopefully. Other than that, I had the best time with my teammates alongside of me.

Go Karts, Our second to last activity to accomplish on our task. We all had the chance to go around the track once, To get the hang of things and how it feels to ride one. Once our whole team had one turn we then had the choice to either have a timer or have two more times going around doing whatever we want. I chose a timer, Just so I could beat the previous time record. All I had to beat was 39 seconds, It was pretty easy as it was so fast. I was so excited when I making going at a good time, Zooming past cone by cone. Going around the bend then boom! 38 seconds on the clock, Even I was surprised cause I thought I was as slow as a snail.

After a couple of days as we got back home, I started to miss Kauaeranga. The beautiful view and the activities, It was a once and life time thing. It was fun, Getting to know people I don't usually hang out with at school. We worked as a team and we humbled ourselves even more, I reckon we even got a little closer than before camp.

Sweet as poetry.

Here is my reading presentation, Our learning intention was on poems. We learnt new words, different ways we could present poems/speeches and we had to understand what each poem was about. Our group had to read four poems, So far my favorite is Embarrassment Expert cause I relate to it so much. I've had a lot of embarrassing moments in my life and so I could relate to the poem.

Statistics - Maths

WALT -  Identify and uses tenths to make numbers

This weeks task was Statistics, We had to Identify the uses of tenths to make numbers. We used graphs, Percentages, Decimals and Fractions. I learnt that I do over think about the question instead of just thinking of the main topic, We learnt about the interpret and a range of graphs. Different graphs have different uses to them.

Recognize Tenths

WALT -  Identify and uses tenths to make numbers

This weeks task was to focus and identify the uses of tenths to make numbers, We compared fractions and decimals and how we could change one to the other. Our class was handed a presentation with 19 slides, We had two weeks to finish this task. We learnt the place value of decimals and fractions and whats the value of it.

Plays and Poetry.

WALT - Analyse and Adapt spoken texts with expression and confidence


In this weeks task we had to analyse texts and their expression and confidence towards speeches, We learnt about how people have different ways of saying speeches and how it could get around to people. Some people aren't really use to saying speeches and being honest I am one of them at times. Plays and Poetry are our main focus for this week.

Biogas

WALT -  Evaluating - I gather, and synthesis to evaluate information across a range of texts

In this task we we're given to learn the different aspects of gas. I learnt how gas was use and where it comes from, In this reading text I found out that just by using cow manure it could produce gas or gases. Clearly one of the ways we could use to power up energy again if there was ever a power cut. So what would you prefer?

Popsicle Decimals.

WALT -  Identify and uses tenths to make numbers


This weeks task was to identify and use tenths to make numbers. We used Popsicle sticks to round up the numbers we were given, We then added both decimals to get the result we wanted. To get the right answer we used Popsicle sticks.
