Aroha Island camp reflection
W.A.L.T Upload our camp reflection to our to my blogger and write about it.
Last week the year 5-6 went to Aroha Island camp at 177 Rangitane Road, Kerikeri 0294. The teachers had lots planned for our end of year camp and we are so excited about sleeping in the tents because normally we would actually sleep in cabins instead of tents so we were so excited. The whole point of this was to let the kids experience the true outdoors. Aroha Island is a little island that has a narrow causeway. You will be greeted there many native birds and tree such as Tuis, Fantails, kiwis, pohutukawa and much more.
Did you see a Kiwi if you went there?

W.A.L.T Up load our Limerick poem to our blog.
Two days ago we stared our Limerick poem. If you want to make a Limerick poem you have to make it funny and it does not have to make sense and the two top lines have to be 8 syllables the two middle ones have to be 5 and they have to rime and the last one have to have 8 syllables and the last one word has to rime with the second to first one.
If you can make a Limerick poem what would you make it about?
What did i find challenging?drawing the straight lines because it makes my words all crooked.

Kiwi Can Lesson
W.A.L.T upload a post showing what we learnt in Kiwi Can today.
Today At Kiwi Can our main focus was respect. We played two games and those games where Snap,Crackle,Pop and so, ma, ca, lo. The catchphrase was 'We Respect out school we will do it because we are cool'.
At Kiwi Can we started of with some games but I will only explain one of them. One was Snap,Crackle,Pop and this is how you play the game. So you will pair up in three then you will chose if your Pop,Crackle,Snap and I was Pop so if they call out what you are you will run and you buddy's will put there legs up and and form a brige and then you will go under there legs.
How did I show respect today? By not being mad after I got out .
What did I enjoy? Playing Snap,Crackle,Pop because I GOT THE WIN!
What could I improve on? Trying to keep my balance when I am running.

Kiwi Can.
W.A.L.T up load our learning to our blog.
At Kiwi Can we learned about what accountability is an how to show it. Accountability means be honest and responsible. Then we did three games, our catchphrase and a GK Q at the end.
The first thing that we did at Kiwi Can was a game and it was called BANG. So how the game works is if the leaders call out a person like BEN then Ben will duck down and the people that are next to Ben will say bang. The one that said bang first will be up and the person that said bang second will be down.
The second game was colour run. So how this game works is the leader will call out a colour like white then you will have to run and touch the wall within 3 seconds since the wall is white.
And the third game was called traffic light. How this game works is there would be a person way down at the end of the hall and if they say green you run they say yellow/orange you walk and if they say red you stop.
The catchphrase was we are honest we are true we take ownership for what we do.
