Bullies

 L.I: To investigate on the topics of cyber and physical bullying 

One of our care award challenge required us to make a DLO about cyberbullying and physical bullying. Cyberbullying can cause sending embarrassing messages, sending inappropriate messages and harassing a person with another account. Cyberbullying can affect a person mental health. It can also cause suicide thoughts.

Physical bullying can include constantly picking on a certain person for no apparent reason. Bullying can affect one's health and lifespan which is very bad for the person. Both kinds of bullying can cause suicidal thoughts.

Key Compentencies

L.I: To compare the Key Compentencies

 

 Before we went to camp our challenge was to think about when we might use the Key Competencies as we faced the challenges. When we came back from camp we looked at this and compared how we thought we would use the Key Competencies and how we actually used them.

Duffy Assembly

For todays assembly it was a special Duffy assembly. Our duffy role model was Marc Duffy. Marc told a story about his hard life. It all started when he didn't know he could read. He would only read from the right side to left side. Due to his reading ability he would get bullied by other students and soon move out of school. He wen't to prison and during his time there he learnt how to read properly. Soon he would get a job and become successful. After his story on how he became successful we got our duffy books. This was a very cool experience, I love his story. 

Food tech

 L.I: To understand the process of cooking 

For food tech the year 7's created pizza. Mrs Hika gave us an instruction to get our materials and ingredients.  The ingredients we got were spinach, red onion, mushroom, red pepper, tomato sauce, cheese, bacon and a pizza base. 

First I layed out the sauce and spread it around our pizza base. Next Kruse (Cooking group member) diced the red onion and the red pepper. He also sliced the mushrooms. After that Kruse put the spinach on top of the pizza base. He then put the diced red onion and red pepper. Then Kingston (Cooking group member) diced the bacon and put it on the pizza. Finally we sprinkled the cheese on the pizza and then the pizza was put into the oven. 

When the pizza came out of the over we slid the pizza on to our chopping board and sliced it. We splited it and we starting eating it. The pizza was delicous and I felt like a professinal cooker. I would love to make pizza for my family because I think my parents would love the pizza that I make. 

Brochure

L.I: To a collabrative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp

Over the last week, the students in LS2 have challenged themselves while participating in archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering.

Our group worked together to create a brochure that gives information and shows readers why Kokako Lodge is an amazing area to go camping.

We talked about the cabins, catering and the activities. The cabins are spacious and can hold up to 12 or 14 people per cabin. There is a large kitchen in the Kokako Lodge area and you can choose whether you would like to self-cater or receive food from caterers.

I found this activity enjoyable because it required us to work as a team.

Camp Collage

 L.I: To create a collage of your camp highlights 

In this activity we had to create a collage using the photos at camp. What I like about this photos is that they remind of some cool times like the high beam photos. I remember going up the ladder really fast and every one was impress. Also the camp concert photos, I was really nervous saying my joke but I came out happy and laughed at it. The sleeping photo is kind of embarrasing for me because I geuinly don't like photos of me sleeping. Finally the cabin photo, I had fun times hanging out with everyone in my cabin. Camp was a really fun experience. 

I found this activity fun because this reminded me about so many moments that happen at camp. 

5 minute of camp

L.I: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

We didn't expect this...

As me and my performance group got ready I was stressing out about how people would react. Me and the boys went to the Stuart room with the rest of the class to see the camp show.

As me and my group sat down, David and Mahdi (The hosts) introduced the Camp Concert of 2021. Everyone was waiting on who was going to go first. My group was hoping we wouldn’t go first but no. David put us first to perform. Our group was shocked and annoyed. We were all stressed because we knew we wouldn’t get a really big reaction considering our jokes weren't the funniest. But as we walked up everybody started clapping and cheering us up which gave me a little bit of confidence.

When we went up we went and said our jokes but we were laughing because before we started performing Azatulah (a group member) said a funny joke that made us laugh. Throughout the whole performance we were laughing. When it was my turn to say my joke I was extremely nervous. I thought that no one would laugh at my joke but in reality I was just laughing and when I said my joke everybody else was laughing. We really didn’t expect everyone else to laugh but we were proud that we stood up and performed it like it was nothing.

The other performances were amazing, my personal favourite was the Poly boys. They mixed the Tongan Sipi tau, the Samoan Siva tau and the Fijian Cibi. I also liked the Chakos performance. I liked the part where they started solo dancing in the middle of the circle. At the end David and Mahdi told everyone the places. Everyone was curious about which place they would come in. Everyone was nervous, everyone was excited to know and then... the places were revealed. To everybody surprise 3 groups came first. It was the Poly boys, Sulia solo dance and Poe vs Doe. Our group came second. Which we were proud of but like I said earlier we didn’t expect a big reaction from everyone and we definitely didn’t expect the place we would be in.

Everybody did a good job performing. My group and I are proud of what place we came in. It was a fun time and I like the interaction between the performers and the audience during the Poe vs Doe performance. At the end we got lollipops and chocolate. It was a good treat.

For this activity we had around 5 minutes to write about an activity or event that happened at camp. I wrote my recount about the Camp Concert. Basically what happened is that we got into these groups that we made up. In our groups we have to come up with an act. Our act was dry jokes. Basically just jokes that are not funny. We also came up with a name. Our name was MC Stand up. We had around 2 weeks to get ready and when the day came we had to perform it. Our group came second and 3 groups came first. All the perfomances were great.
