My Personal Experience

Last week on the 5th of August the year 8s went to their Leadership Camp while the year 7s had their Step up Program, the year 8s that didn’t go to camp and stayed back at school had to help with the teachers and help the year 7s with the activities they were doing.

Staying back with the year 7s was alright, the year 7s weren’t that annoying and they didn’t really need any help with anything only some of them needed help of being reminded of some things, but they took control of themselves pretty well and didn’t need anymore reminders. The activities we were doing were okay but in my opinion last year's games were better and more fun. It would’ve been fun if we got to cook something like how cooked Truffles last year. The activities that we did this year were Cup Stacking, Mysteries, Quote Art and this Singing Game they were all fun, but if we only got to do cooking that’ll be even better but you get what you get.

Ideas about Year 7/8 Programs

Task Description: For this task we had to do a table and write down what things we want to Keep, Add and Stop.  For each year we had to decide what things we want to keep as the actives, what we wanted to add and what we wanted to stop, so here is what we wanted to Keep, Add and Stop.   The group we had to work in is Me, Maddy and Mahoe.

Task Description: Today our year 7&8s got the chance to tell us one of their highlights what they've learnt.  For this task we had to write down each other captain their highlights and what they've learnt during those 3 days of Camp and 3 days of their Step up Program. 

Measuring Up

Task Description: For this weeks maths we had to figure out which line was the longest but the answer got was that both lines were the same and was 27.5cm.  Next we had to measure 5 objects around our class including our own hands.  We had to find the Width of a top desk, height of a door latch, height of the number 2 sign, height of the door frame and lastly the length of our hands.    

In training

Task Description: For this maths task we had to figure out how many kilometres did Kauri make in 3 laps.  

Kauri runs laps around, Pt England Reserve each morning.  The distance that he makes of each laps is 800m, so we had to figure out how many kilometres will Kauri make in 3laps which is 2.4 km and for metres he'll make 2,400m.
