EOTC Recount Blog

 Today we are doing a reflection on out EOTC days. We have to write a paragraph for each place we went to explaining our favourite parts and other information. Here is my work. Peace :)

Adrenaline Forest:

Going to adrenaline forest was really fun because it was something I had never done before. My favourite part was actually learning how to use the clickers that hooked onto the wires so you didn't fall off. My least favourite part was that I was up really high when I was climbing but that was the only thing I didn't enjoy. I got to have a good view of Spencer park over the road. But I learned that you should face your fears and step out of your comfort zone.

City Trip:

Going through the city was really interesting because I got to go to places I have gone before but I got a better look at them. My favourite part was going to Margret Mahy playground because I don't go there that often. 

Jellie Park:

Sewing Terms 3 & 4

 For the past term and a half I have been doing sewing as a options class. For the first part of it we were just having fun making small things and getting used to the machines, then we got given our main task for the year. Our main task was to make two bags of our choice for two different stake holders. The first stake holder was given to us by Miss Laycock which was Family Works Timaru, They are an organisation that gives to people in need. The second stake holder was our choice, I chose to make it for myself to use for Tennis. I made two drawstring bags that were 20x24. Here is the slideshow with all of my work. Enjoy :)

EOTC Week Activity Board

This week we have been working EOTC tasks. EOTC stands for End Of Term Camp. But this year we aren't having a camp but we are having three days out. The activities we will be doing are Going to Jellie Park, Adrenaline Forest and a City Tour. We had to do a activity for each place we are going to and also an extra for experts. Here are all my tasks. :)

Jellie Park:

For this task I chose to make a list of water safety things everyone needs to know before they go swimming. Here is my work :)

Adrenaline Forest:

For this task I chose to write about which activity we were looking forward to the most. Here is my writing :)

Which EOTC activity are you looking forward to the most?

I’m looking forward to doing the City Tour. I have been to most of the places we are going to but I think it will be nice to see what they look like now because it has been a while. But I'm also looking forward to the other activities too because I've never been to Adrenaline Forest mainly because I'm scared of heights but I'm looking forward to going to Jelly Park because I love swimming.

City Tour:

For this task I chose to colour in a picture from the Christchurch Art Gallery. This picture was a painting of flowers here is the real thing and my colouring :)

Extra For Experts:

100 Word Challenge

Today in wananga we had to do another 100 word challenge. We had to write it about magic bubbles. Here is my story.

 I was walking through the dark back streets of San Diego when I saw something shiny behind one of the dumpsters. I ran towards it but then it disappeared! Then I turned around and saw a giant bubble with bright green dots as if they were eyes. I tried to pop it but when I did my finger just bounced off. But when I tried to kick it my foot went straight through so I stepped inside and I started floating! Then I saw flashing words saying where would you like to go? I said I wanted to go anywhere and that’s where we went.

100 Word Challenge

 Today in wananga we did another 100 word challenge. This one was different though because the photo was something that happened to one of the teachers but I made my own teacher. The photo was of Miss Laycocks car with human sized footprints on it! Here is the photo and my story. :)

It was a bright morning and all the birds were chirping. I was getting ready to go school but I was too lazy to walk so I asked mum to drive me. She asked me to start the car for her so I went to do that but then I saw something mysterious. There were giant footprints on the windshield! I didn’t really think anything about it until I heard rustling in the bushes beside me. I got so scared I sprinted  into the car and wiped the windshield so mum didn’t freak out like me. But then I saw my dad sneaking away..

Heroes & Villains 2ND Poster

  Today in Hurumanu 6 we have been working on another task for heroes and villains. This time I chose to do it about Jacinda Ardern. We had to make another advert poster like you see on the streets before the election. To make this I used Poster My Wall again. Here is my poster. :)

Gymnastics

 For the past few weeks in PE we have been doing gymnastics. We do this twice a week for an hour every Tuesday and Thursday. My favourite thing to do in gymnastics is to use the parallel  bars. Mr Palmer taught me easy tricks to do which I picked up pretty fast. Here is a photo of me using the parallel bars:
