LI: To create a collage of your camp highlights
LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp
As I was slowly approaching the beautiful mix of green and blue water in fear, the water was steadily flowing down and off the waterfall into the river. A voice gently echoed saying ‘’next person ‘’,knowing that I was the next person up . My heart felt like it was beating on the outside of my chest like it was going to fall out and then my legs started to quiver like the wind overtook my soul .
When I took the first step into the freezing water it felt like i set foot into a big deep hole in the middle of the pacific ocean out of nowhere , As the instructor was holding the kayak I slowly lowered my body onto the Canoe I felt the Canoe raised off the shallow and move towards the waterfall like entering a island of a magnificent,waterfall and beautiful flying species .
While the water guided my Canoe towards deepness i quivered so hard while placing the paddle that looked like a double sided ice cream scooper into my hands , when I finally had a good grip on the paddle while my knuckles were facing the beautiful white fluffy clouds in the great light blue sky as the sun slowly going behind , through the white clouds as each person slowly floated off the shallow water and off they went scooping left and right with the long lighted paddle .
When I first laid my paddle into the water i was suspiciously drawing near a tall rock facing out of the water and then i tried my best to try and avoid smacking into the rock but with no hesitation i smacked into it, it felt like my soul was washed outside of my body when the wind flowed past . When I felt the wind cross by It felt like It took my confidence with it but then I breathed slowly and calmly and then confidence hit me that's when I started to get the hang of it and I started to paddle around the rock and slowly paddle towards a roundabout gap near the waterfall . There was seaweed hanging off the side of the wall and it was like swinging forward and backward while following the directions of the wind .
While I was still trying to overcome my fear,half of my body was scared and wanted to give up but my other half of my body told me to keep going and overcome my fears. When I was still struggling I realized and thought to myself “Just have faith in yourself because I know you can do It, then I started to believe In myself and have fun because I was by a beautiful waterfall on a beautiful day while birds of Tanemahuta were flying around looking above and beneath and then I knew I had the courage to believe in myself and just go with the tide .In the end of struggling how to have faith in myself all I knew I was missing a bit of faith and I needed to believe In myself even when no one did , but I took a risk and I overcame my fear by putting a little bit faith In myself .
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 acivity interesting because doing a recount of camp is to help me by hearing other people's idea's and what they thoiught andnidd in their recount and being able to have faith in myself .
LI: To celebrate our PBS SLJ participants
Todays for Friday's assembly was different because it was also the SLJ participants celebrations I really enjoyed doing the activities that the SLJ team set for the senior students around the world .

LI: To draw our design that we thought we would make .
Today for our second lesson at Tamaki College building with Mr Grundy was to draw a design we thought we would make out of the eight designs we had already drawn during the session . First we got a paper and a piece of wood and draw the joints where it would hold the design all together and the design i was doing is a chest of drawers where you can open and close the draw that is holding all the accessories you have , been wearing . Something i found interesting about learning how to use a wood joint to make things that can make your accessories easier to grab and put back .
Today we have done an activity about how to behave on a bus for our PB4L task . First, we thought of positive ways in our group of mixed and non mixed people and thought of things we might thought we could show how we would behave on the bus. We weren’t allowed to use no, don’t, never, and more because that’s not positive. After we wrote down how to behave on a bus we showed it by taking a video on how to behave and not behave on a bus. Something we found interesting about doing the DLO was collaborating with mixed people and here what they had about
