Term 1 highlights and evaluation

In this last week all Marama students have had to evaluate their term as well as explain their highlight. This term we didn't have to do it on a document, we were a loud to do some sort of prestitaion and I chose to do it on my computer movie maker. Heres the finished product, hope you like it.

Our food impact blog

Over the past term I have been part of a food group called the kick starters. Our target for the year is to get kids of all ages to eat lunch/breakfast. We have been searching on the internet and looking at what we could do to get kids to eat healthy meals. We have diced make a lunch order or a breakfast at school, so that people can come to school and eat if they haven't had the time to eat at home. We have sent out an online servery to the rest of the Marama syntactic to see what their thought were, and if it was a good idea. Our results have come in that most people eat breakfast, weather their lying or not we have to believe the servery. We will most probably make a healthy lunch order so that people on a Friday that have empty pantry's can order their lunch at school. Our main porpoise is to get kids at Ngatea School to eat healthy!

My Reading Creator

This is my plane that me and my Dad made from the book Hatchet. I had to make something creative from the book Hatchet as my reading role creator. First I cut out the shape of the plane and the wings, then when I got to school the next day I painted it blue. The reason why I choose blue is because on the front cover of the book when the plane is being struck by lightning, it looks blue. I'm proud of this because I thought it would turn out different, but in the end it turned out better.

This is my plane from Hatchet:

Netball

For netball this year I was selected to be in the Ngatea A Squad! The A squad are the top netballers from Ngatea Primary School 2013, and I'm one of them! All of the A squad had to re-trial for the top two teams, but I didn't quite make it into Ngatea one (The top team) I don't really mind being in the second best, because I know that Ngatea one will be really hard, and plus the team I'm in is a really good team. I'm looking forward to our first training on the 4th of April, and my coach is a teacher from school so thats going to be a little different. I'm proud of myself for making it into Ngatea two because thats the highest team I've ever got into at Ngatea School!! I can't wait till netball starts this year..... It's going to be the best!!

Reading online sketch

For reading this term I've been reading Hatchet. Hatchet is about a boy called Brian who was flying in a privite plane to go stay with his father for the summer. His plane ends up crashing because the pilot has a heart attack, and he has to try stay alive on his own with only a hatchet.  This is a sketch I did online of Brian. (This is how I imagined him)

Taupo Camp 2013

Last Tuesday I went on camp to Taupo until Friday. Every activity that we done was an outdoor activity. On Tuesday when we arrived there we set our cabins up then went on a really long bush walk to Huka Falls!! Since it was a really hot day and we were all tired from the big walk, on the way back to the camp site we got to have a swim at AC Baths!! Huka Falls was so loud, and the water was rushing straight past us faster than a click of your fingers. Also AC Baths had a bombing zone and two hydro slides! I loved the hydro slides, most the time that I was there I played on the hydro slides. And it's like the only place you can actually bomb!!

On Wednesday we went to a place called Action World, were you climb and jump onto and off a lot of different things. If you fall it's Ok because you would just fall onto big stunt bags. I liked a castle were you had to hop into a sack and then fly down this big slide!!

Action World. (This is my favorite castle/Activity to do.)

On Thursday we were split into four groups and then went and done four different activities. The first thing I done was rock climbing at AC Baths. I climbed and easy rock wall, then another easy one a couple of times, and then one that was quite hard. The harder one was step shaped and nobody had made it over the first big step. I was the first person to get to the top of that rock wall and also one of the highest people on one of the easier ones. My second rotation was Orienteering, We had to find heaps of posts stuck in the ground without a compass, just a map. My group found everything that we needed to find with the help from my Dad. Then we went Rafting through little rapids and we played games with our rafts. Also we were aloud to jump out of the raft and have a swim at Taupo hot springs. That's were the thermal from under the ground heats up the lake water making it as warm as a spa. And our last activity was mountain biking. I was in the front of the pack all the way. The track was really bumpy so it made it a little harder and there was quite a lot of hills. Quite a lot of people fell off their bikes and I was one of them! I just have a bruise on my knee hat's all!!

Rafting

Taupo Hot Springs

Thursday was our last day so in the morning we had to tidy our rooms and pack all our stuff into our cars. Then on the way home we stopped for a fish at Prawn Park. Prawn Park is where there are 19 pools full of prawns and people are aloud to fish for them, You can take them home. We got a private tour of the park, and got to feed baby prawns and also look at the parks biggest prawn, His name is Shawn.
After we were aloud to fish for prawns except I didn't catch any. I had a few bites but didn't catch one.

Taupo camp was the best camp I've been on. Everything was so much more fun this year. We even got to do a skit, The winning skit was a group of boy. My Dad was even selected to come on camp!! I'll never forget camp 2013.
