Duffy Assembly

After morning tea in the hall we had Duffy Assembly. To start the duffy assembly we had to sing the duffy song read all about it. The visitors that we had at our school for the duffy assembly were Madison, Filipe, Kathrine, Bow, and Donna. Madison, Filipe, and Kathrine explained how reading helped them get to where they are now and how much fun it is to read books. Filipe, Kathrine, and Madison are also opera singers and they showed us a little performance on what they do as opera singers. After the little performance all three of them were asked to help hand out the duffy books. As soon as the book were handed out and Kathrine, Filipe, and Madison had sat down Mia asked Donna and Bow if they would like to say something so they told us about what they do at main freight. They also told us how books helped them in life at times and it was just really interesting to listen to what they had to say about books. When Donna and Bow sat down Mr Johnston said a few words and said thank you to the visitors for coming to our school and sharing there talents and thoughts of books with us. To finish the duffy assembly off we took a group photo and had to wait quietly for our teachers to take us back to class.

Kokako Lodge Diary

Today I have finally finished the last task for our camp. My Kokako Lodge diary is the last and final task that I have done and there will be no more DLO's about camp on my blog. I have used flip snack to make my diary and am really proud of my self because I learnt how to use flip snack all by myself. My diary explains what we did on the four days at camp. If you would like to have a look at the website flip snack here is the link: https://www.flipsnack.com/. I hope that you enjoyed my diary and I also hope that you have fun exploring flip snack.

Kokako Lodge Brochure

                           
 

These brochures I have made are part of the tasks that we have had to create for our camp tasks. I had to make two google drawings and fill them with information about Kokako Lodge. We had to make two google drawings for the inside and the outside of the brochure. The inside of my brochure is the DLO with the photo of our class Room LS2 at camp and the outside of my brochure is the drawing with the Kokako Lodge logo on it.

Kokako Bird Infographic

Another one of the camp tasks that we had to create was an infographic of the kokako bird. This DLO that I have made tells you the habitat of the bird, the appearance, and some facts. The pictures that are on my DLO are also attributed so you can have a look at the licences and sites they comes from. 

Picture Story

Since we got back from Kokako Lodge we have been doing camp DLO's every day for the past two weeks. One of the DLO's we had to create was a picture story. We had to find images that best described what we did, and needed to find photos from day one, day two, day three, and day four. I chose these photos because they show and describe what activities we did, how we did them and the fun we had.

Beef pie filling

Today at tech we made a beef pie filling. We just made the filling for the pie then we are going to make the pastry next Friday. I had to get 1 teaspoon of corn flour and get 200mL of hot water and mix it together. Then I had to get a beef stock cube and mix it with a different measuring cup and leave it there until it has desovled and add it to the soy sauce mixture. After that I helped ma'ata with the onions then we had to go get 1 table spoon of oil and put the pan with the onions. Once the onions started to cook I added the meat and mixed it all together. Then we had to mix the soy sauce mixture with the stock mixture and pour a little amount at a time into the pan.Then we had to star adding the cornflour mixture in the pan as well to make it thicken. Me, Ma'ata and Mrs Linda all had turns at mixing the onions and beef. Then we had to turn off our stoves and put the filling into a plastic container and take it to miss hecka. Then we had to clean our stations and go on to the bus back to school.

The Mysterious Walkway

I started feeling nervous. All I could see was the light from torches going on and off as we made our way along the gravel pathway that took us into the darkness.

As we crossed the bridge all I could hear was the sound of a waterfall rushing to the pool below. Everything around me smelt damp. My torch light showed the stairs in front of me. I grabbed the handrail and gripped it tight as other people's voices got louder and louder. Everyone sounded scared!

I started to see a light. As I walked closer I saw that the light was from our camp. The night walk was fun but I was happy to be back in the light until I saw the size of the cricket on the deck! I got a big fright when it flew onto my shirt. I quickly flicked it off.

Today we had to write a recount about an activity that we did a camp. I chose to write about the night walk. I have explained what I have heard, what I have seen, and what I could feel. For my plan I used the y chart and the TREE template.
