Mountain Thoughts
Aloha Bloggers! Tomorrow is going to be amazing we are so lucky to get the opportunity to go to Mount Ruapehu for our Senior School Camp. Before I go on camp I'm feeling a little nervous but excited at the same time. Nervous because I don't know how I'm gonna do without my family - like making bad decisions. Excited because it will be my first time skiing on real snow! Although I've been to Snow Planet before, it was fake snow not real. I feel like the thing that is gonna make me worry the most is sometimes people could get in the way and you might fall, tumble or roll into someone going down the hill. I think that skiing and staying in a room with so many people is going to push my limits because in the bedroom I have to think about others and make room for other people. When I am on camp I think I will gain lots of confidence and self management. I think I will feel a bit more confident and thankful when I come back because the teachers and our parents have put in so much effort into this camp so we have to make it worth while. We will be on the Mountain from the 20th August - 23rd August.
Here is a example of the rooms we are staying in and the Mountain:
Narrative Night
For a couple of weeks I have been working on a Holiday Narrative. Holiday's are fun to write about because it's like reliving the good memories again. I had a lot of choices to write about because I did a lot in the holidays. I chose to write about my long trip to Tokoroa for my Family Reunion. We put a bit of twist into our stories to make it seem a bit more fun. Really, the trip was just long and boring but in my narrative, I made it seem fun, creative and adventurous. My narrative was one page long and a quarter of the 2nd page. We also did a '2 stars and a wish' with buddies. '2 stars and a wish' is another way of saying 2 positives and 1 goal. The 2 stars are something that the reader really liked about the Narrative and the Wish is something that you could improve on next time. Here is my Narrative:
Assembly Time!
Bula Vinaka Bloggers! Today I am sharing my experience for my class' Assembly in our School Hall. It was fun but I was a little nervous standing in front of the whole school. If you don't do assemblies like we do then here is how we do it.
Which ever class has their assembly, they should already have a Google Slideshow with lots of slides showing what the classes have worked. Then our technology team used teachers' laptop to click through the slideshow in our assemblies and play the music. In fact, I am one of those Tech people myself. All the students in our class had a few roles to do in the Assembly. This was an amazing Assembly! And thanks to our teachers, Ms Abedin and Ms Sands, we got our Assembly sorted out in 3-4 days practise. We used a microphone and speakers to help us be louder and clearer. My roles were: Saying a Poem sentence, Hand shaker for Merit Certificates and also saying a paragraph about our Litter Blitz Rubbish Street Pick-Up. Hauraki is an amazing class! My favourite part about this assembly was being a hand shaker because it was funny when I had to grab their hand because they held the wrong hand out to shake.
