LI: To create a comparison of the before and after experiences at camp.

Before camp, we wrote down what we would achieve at camp by using the acronym TRUMP. Thinking is thinking about others, Relating to Others is to communacating with other, Using language symbols and text is not swearing Managing self is cheering on my teammates, Participation and contribution is trying new things.  These 5 words help us to remember when to use them in every activity. When we came back from camp, we wrote down how we used the key competencies for our belongings and in the activities.

I found this activity appealing because is was cool looking at what I wrote before camp and after camp.

LI: To recount and explore the learning and experiences from our Year 7/8 camp

Our group wrote a poem based on our senses like auditory, tactile, visual, and kinesthetic. We used our prior knowledge of the senses and unfolded different words and ideas that described Hunua Falls. These moment in time poems represent our experience at Kokako Lodge. One of our ideas were raging waterfall tumbling down against the immense rocks, before it meanders down the creek towards its mouth.We then used word hippo to find more powerful words to strengthen our poems.

I found this activity intersting and tough because it was hard finding more desirable words that explained our experience at camp, but I found it intersting to find higher quality word other then the lower quality words me and my group were going to use for our moment in time poem.

I wrote my own story.

First I made a brain storm of all my ideas, I added a lot of ideas but I chose one where a kid named john get bullied for joe since he doesnt do his work.I then added back up people they were to help john, and make john stop bullying him, there names were Alex, Danny, Barle and peter, they were all nice people and didnt like bullys.

Then I made notes, my notes were telling the names of the people and what they were going to say and do.

Lastly I made the fornt and back cover, I didn’t finish but I finished adding the pictures and what was happening in the pictures, and what the people are saying.

I liked this task and I enjoyed it, but I think I need to get better at making my pictures look better.
