Camp reflection T2 W4

Camp Refection

Last week we went on Hammer Springs Camp. I found It my favorite camp iv been on ever. My favorite highlights Were probably the Hot pools and the Tree climbing. Here are all of the active we did.  Mission impossible , Hot pools, Mounting biking, Tree climbing and orienteering. 

I loved the tree climbing. First of all we had to get all harness up and the guide tour us how to be a safe climbing and how to b lay. There were to trees one was a eucalyptus but the rope to climb didn't go right to the to it only went just over half. The other tree was a pine tree witch it went right to the top. I climbed the pine tree and I got right to the top. I found it such a great experience  and  I had a lot of fun.      

Another one of my favorite activities was the mounting. I loved the biking because half way through we got to do a pump track and also do river crossing. There were some hard hills but I  just kept thing that is you go up one the gonna come down one. We went biking for just under 2 hours and it was so cool. 


My Last favorite was the Hot pools. I loved the hot pools because I loved spending time with my friends and having fun. I liked going down the super bowl and going in the lazy river. On the first night we spent 1 hour and a half and on the second night we spent 2 hours. out of the hot pools my favorite would be the hex angle pools.   

      

Refection week 4 term 3 Numeracy

Numeracy : This week I have been leaning to know how many tens are in a big number. What I learnt is that if you put a line in front of your ones column it would be all the numbers before that. I found this confusing at the start but then I found it easy. 

Numeracy: I have also been working on fractions I have learnt how to make up a word problem using all the things I know about fractions , also what equivalent fractions are. The last thing I learnt was how to simplify fractions.  

 

Reflections W5 T2

Reading: This  is my follow up for reading. My goal is to  Infer and support which means to answer questions that have not been said. I found this easy because I know how to answer questions.    

Activity 1 : This is my 2nd reading activity. My task was to read both of the story's highlighted and then answer the questions. 

Numeracy: This is my maths task. I had to peer up with a partner and do peer assessing. We had to watch each others screen cast's and then rate them out of fifteen. I got 15/15.

 

 

Writing: This is my Charlotte's web activity. My task was to write a newspaper article like it was a real article going in the news paper. I interviewed Mr Zuckerman.

I also created a screencast showing the punctuation game we have used this week.

        

Reflections W2 T2

Writing: This is my Writing I did for W2 Charlotte's web activity.We had to write a report about spiders.   

Spider report

Food

Spiders eat lots of different foods like flies, moths, bugs,crawling insects and anything that crawls or flies into their web. When a spider catches it pray they will wait till a insects or bug goes in their web and then bang the spider will rap the prey up  in their silk and then sucks their blood. It is good to have daddy long legs because they eat white tails and any other spiders in your house.

Appearance

Some spiders have 8 legs and 4 eyes. They have really hairy legs but some have more than others depends what spider it is. Some spiders come in different colors and shapes and sizes.They have big fangs that looks like buck teeth and hang out of their mouth.  Spiders can look scary but sometimes it’s just there look but they aren't always.

Habitat

A spider's habitat can be anywhere but they most likely it in the warmth. They love underneath things like houses or in roofs. Sometimes they make their homes  in piles of wood, in the woods,  on rocks, under rocks but mostly places you can't see until you walk through it like door ways. Most spiders don't stay in one spot they move all the time especially when they have caught their prey and then they move on.

 

Life cycle

A spider life cycle is not that different to a human's life cycle or a frog's life cycle.They start as a tiny egg and then hatch. They grow through their  stages of life right up until their a grown adult and can hunt for pray very easily. Not always there life cycle precedences because it can get interrupted by humans or their predators. Spiders can have different life cycles because some end longer than others or some end quicker than others .  

Predators  and prey

Spiders prey can be anything like other spiders, bugs, insects, flies and lots more. Spiders like to wrap their prey up in their web. Because spiders are small there are  many predators to them that means that it is something that eats a spider like other larger things , birds, toads, lizards, monkeys and others spiders.There are also lots of small creatures that can eat a spider like ticks because the attach themselves to a spider  and eat away for a long time while the spider carries on there life.

Numeracy : This is my Math Slide it is all the things I learnt in my Sessions in W2. 

Topic: This is my topic that I did for Anzac. I had to do 3 activities showing answering questions, Events and effects , And a poem. I learnt what a Mascot was. 

WW1 Events and their Effects:

Event:  what information can you find about each of these events from WW1?	Effect:  Describe the effect that these would have had on the soldiers and their families back home
Dogs:	Sometimes the dogs get a little to protective and bite the soldiers. They also sometime get over excited and bite as well and that would also affect the soldier's family.
Rats:	The Rats always crawled up to the soldier when they were sleeping in the Trenches and then when they woke up their would be poo all over them from the mice YUCK!! I would hate the mice.
Trench Foot:	I would hate to get trench foot all of the mud on your feet and all of the mold.
Letters:	I think they would of been home sick reading the letters from family, all of your whole family would want to know if you are ok.
Meal Tins:	I would not like to eat food straight out of a tin. ex , spaghetti, tomatoes.
Tomb of the Unknown Warrior:	You're Dead and they put your body inside a tomb which is like a cave.
Broken Families:	That would not be a good feeling and it would of happened to a lot of families.

Lest We Forget

By Ella Mahuika Kaede Cowan Summer Rhodes

Lest we Forget the ones who fought in WW1

The dashing figures around the war zone and the creepy gravel ground.

Lest we Forget the ones buried deep in in the ground

nor the ones here living now.

Lest we forget their souls and hearts cause those

People made this world AMAZING!!

Lest we Forget that they are still here with us and

we can always thank them.

Lest we Forget their kindness and happiness

And helpfulness in WW1.  

Art : This is my For Anzac That I did. I used blending and different colors.

Camp Reflections

On camp we went to lake mapourika for a swim. Everybody was jumping off the jetty and doing flips the water was freezing. There were two tyres in the water that people were jumping onto and there was also lots of seaweed. We had to wear swimming caps that were all different colours ours were white and orange. After we got out we had lunch and set of to the kiwi center.

When we arrived at the Kiwi center we got a big talk to by the kiwi tour guides about what we already knew about kiwis and what we didn’t know about. After that we got given our sheet of activities that we could do in between the times that we were seeing the kiwis. We went in groups and seen two baby kiwis playing and fighting.

After that we went to the top ten holiday park where we were staying and played on the park and unpacked our bags and got settled in to our cabins. In my Bunk group I had Ella, Cleo and Ella’s mum Tania. It had one set of bunks a single bed and a double bed.

After a while we had tea and then went for a walk to see the glow worms that was just down the road. There were lots of them all over the track and I fell into a ditch banged into a tree and run into a prickle bush and hit in the stomach.

The next day we went and walked to the Glacier. It was raining some of the time and other times was all right.On the way we went on a cool swing bridge that was long and wobbly. It was so cool looking at the Glacier because i had gone befor but I was little so I didn't remember it so this was the first time I looked at one. It took 4 hours and a half  all up plus all the stops one the way we passed a really blue but had lots of algae.

After the walk we went geocaching around the town and had to find clues of where the containers were which had  little sentences that you had to collect to make up a big sentence at the end. They were hid in funny places like bushes and signs.
