Entering A Cometition - CARE Awards

LI: To enter a Outside school function

For one of my CARE awards task in gold confident we were asked to write about any outside school function we do other than school sport. This task included me making a DLO about the netball club I play for. I play for Howick Pakuaranga Netball Club. I talked about what I do for this club, and what year I play for during my time at this netball club. I really enjoy playing for this club because I get to play netball either than for school

Duffy Role Model Assembly

 LI: To understand that there is always an opprtinity to make a bad situation good.

Today Marc Duffy came to our school for our duffy role model assembly, to tell us about how reading can change the whole scene. The story started off with a little boy named fred, he had a very hard child hood growing up, as he was bullied for not knowing how to read properly.

Six years from then his parents moved him to another school due to the fact that he was bullied from not knowing how to read, as he kept keeting bulied he was moved to another school. As he was getting older he started to hang out with the wrong crowd. Due to haning with the wrong crown he was sentence to prison for borrowing cars without returing them, he was in prison for four years. 

In prison their was only one teacher, and that one teacher took fred under his wing and taught him how to read. Day and day went on as freds teacher taught him how to read. After being relesed from prison we went on search of finding a job. It was very challenging for him to find a job as he had a criminal record.

He found a job at bunnings and worked his way up until he could start his own journey. He started his own bussniss called Duffy Books in Homes. He lets childred and adults have the oppritunity to read whenever they want. At the end of the story he revealed that the little boy named fred was marc himself. Marcs story proves that reading can make a chang in your life and their is always and opprtinity for people to take.

I found this assembly very true because despite having a hard child hood their is always an opprtinity for you to take and create a better life for yourself just like marc did.

Key Competencies - Camp

LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.

 

Before we went to camp our challenge was to think about when we might use the Key Competencies as we faced the challenges.  When we came back from camp we looked at this and compared how we thought we would use the Key Competencies and how we actually used them. I found this activity fun because I got to relate to the things I did at camp and then wrote down what I thought I would do at camp.

Bullying & Being Cybersmart Gold C.A.R.E. Awards

LI: To create a slideshow on how to prevent bullying. 

For one of the CARE Awards, we had to create a slide show on how you can prevent bulling to yourself and other. This slide show has two slide on physical bulling and cyber bulling. Bulling is the wrong thing to do because it could hurt people metaly and physicaly. One way of stopping bulling is to say stop it and walk away while ignoring them, if they continue to bully you or people you know you must tell and adult or and teacher to deal with tthe situation. I found this activty fun because I got to share way of how you can prevent bulling if it's cyber bulling or physical bulling.

Kokako Infographic

LI: To create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako.

This week, everyone in LS2 has been given a set of different challenges based on our camp. For this activity we used our smart searching skills to find information about the North Island Kokako bird. I found this activity fun because I got to learn new thing about the kokako logde because after all the camp site that we were staying at was named after the kokako bird. We also learnt about trees and about types of native trees and animals.

Brochure

Over the last week everyone challenged themselves during the sessions at archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering. Our group collaborated to create a brochure that shows others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp. I found this activity fun because I got to advertise the camp ground that let us do all the activties their. I enjoyed helping out the camp we were staying at.
