Collage//Camp//Kokako Lodge by Viliami

This week our task was to create a collage of what we did at camp. We added photos of what we did each day. On day one we went hiking. I didn't find it fun because I was so tired. On day two it was our first rotation task and I started off, by doing archery then our next task was kayaking and it was fun it was my favorite task that whole day. Then we did Raft building. It was amazing and hopefully we can do it again. On day three I did high ropes and I was so scared when I got on the beam, but I managed to do it. I was proud of my self. We did two more activities, which were really fun, then we did pancake race in our groups, which was fun and yummy. Then we did our camp concert it was the best night that we spent at camp. I was in the baby shark group. We did the the baby shark and it was fun and funny. The next day we got to choose what to put in our sandwich for lunch. After we packed our stuff we got on the bus and went swimming. It was fun, because we had lunch there and our sandwiches were yum. Then we went to school and waited for our parents to pick us up and my mum was happy to see me.

Group Challenge by Giovanni

    

Today Me and Jayden made a slide and a video about Kokako Lodge. This video and slide includes Siri and Kokako Lodge. Mrs Anderson went on her phone and asked Siri "Why is Kokako Lodge a good place for a year 7 & 8"? So whe gave us a challenge which was to make a video and a slide about what Siri would say in exactly 50 words. Me and Jayden came up with: Kokako Lodge is a fantastic place for a year 7 and 8 camp because they have lots of fun activities that are also safe. You can learn something new and overcome fears while you are doing an activity. Kokako also has a stunning view (trees, and a waterfall). We also can get points for every thing that is on the board. 50 words was 50 points plus the extras which were worth 5, 2.5 and 1 point(s) (Exclamation mark, Working together and lots more). Me and Jayden had 79 points out of 100+.

Group Challenge

This week for writing Mrs. Anderson challenged us to write a response that Siri might have said in exactly 50 words. We were to answer, Why is Kokako Lodge a great place to take year 7/8 students on camp? To help us we used our camp diaries, outside the box DLO, LS2 rubric, and our camp photos. As a group, we took part in the learning conversation, by sharing our ideas with each other. To receive points we were to use the selected language features, which were simple, compound, complex sentence, a comma, correct beginning, and end sentence punctuation, an exclamation mark, simile, and brackets. If we used any of these language features we would receive 5 points. Using 50 words gave us 50 points. Extra points were added if we collaborated, communicated, used the LS2 writing rubric, camp photos, camp diaries, outside the box DLO, and if we completed it on time. Altogether our group totaled up to 95 points.
