Reflection - Yr 7 & 8

For this task we all worked in our groups on our tables.

Team Sharing - Year 7 & 8 leaders

 We got called to the street today and heard what the year 7 leaders had to say. The leaders were Sauma, Bradly, Nina, Mohamed, Simon and Oli'i. Sauma said she enjoyed watching her team step up which was really good to hear. Bradly said he really enjoyed being prefect while we were gone, but it's a good thing because I know he and every other year 7 are capable of leading the school. Nina said her highlight was eating the delicious food. Mohamed said his highlight was to try new things and get his team to be great. Simon and Oli'i said they both loved their team stepping out of their confort zone.

Then it was the year 8 leaders. The leaders were Jezakaia, Me (Mamarei), Sione k, Chance, Caleb, Leilani, Zamera and Arthur. Chance and Leilani weren't here so it was just the boys and me and Zamera. Jezakaia said he thinks camp was great and it'll be very useful in the future.  I said my highlight was watching my team encourage each other. Especially with one of my Samoan friends Lepisi.  Sione K said his highlight was sleeping with his friends. Caleb said his highlight was helping his team and watching them encourage each other. Zamera said her highlight was everyone was capable with anything which shows teamwork. Arthur said everyone was respectful. I think the teams tried to do their best and did great.

(Can't really remember what they actually said)

I can't wait for all the year 7's to go to camp. Also special thanks to Phill and Shelly for letting us stay in your beautiful home. 

Highlights for Year 8 Camp

 On Wednesday morning us year 8's had to make our way to school. We got on a bus for two whole hours and went to Kvcc ( Kaueranga Vallay Christian Camp ). We then had the chance to be introduced to the owners Phill and Shelly. After we had morning tea and got ready for the Cross Games. It's all about team work. 

My three highlights for each are these. So on Wednesday my three highlights were shouting at my team to lie down when we did the body surfing game. The second highlight was when I got to paint on heaps of my teams faces. I got angry at one of the boys (Hunter J) because he said that he'd let me draw hearts on his cheeks, but ran away from me. The last highlight was when I almost lost my voice while the boys in Coromandel and Kauri had to pull the rope for Tug-O-War.

Thursday morning was one of the best highlights because my dorm got in trouble because Lepisi and Jarreka woke all of us up and started cleaning. They thought it was 6 in the morning, so it was a honest mistake. So we got in trouble because those two girls woke up all of us girls. Second highlight was when all of us girls we getting angry because there was a very long line of girls waiting to go shower. And the last highlight of Thursday was when we all got to see everyone's performance. Honestly Teames should've come 1st place because their act was really funny.

And for Wednesday's highlights  is when we all got to clean up and my dorm was the cleanest. The second highlight was when one of the boys gave me and Jarreka some chocolate on our way back to school and because the boys were doing to terrible job at singing. Me and Jarreka were singing like boys and no one noticed. The last highlight was when we went to the Ngatea Water Gardens and got to pet some cute animals and did a few fun tasks. 

Decimals

For this task we had to answer a few word problems, decimals problems and time problems. The task that I found the hardest to do was the subtracting decimals.Overall I enjoyed doing this maths task. 

A Maori Myth Of Creation

For this task we watched a video of sand art telling the story of how the Earth was created in Maori. Then we had to read two texts about the creation of the world and Papatuanuku. We also had to break a bunch of words into word groups. This par of the task was easy, because we had done this last term.
