Y9 - Camp Adair ; Reflection

The whole year nines from Tamaki College with the stars mentors and teachers went to Camp Adair for two days. We went camp to get to know each other more and also learn how to collaborate with each other. 

When we all got to Camp Adair we had rotations where you have one activity to do then rotate to the next. Well, we all had different stations for different activities, and one of my favourite activity was team building because we all have to participate and help each other accomplish a task. We helped each other get one side to the other by using a certain amount of tiles. The other activity my group did was we had three platforms and our instructor thought of three numbers for a lock and we had to work together and swing on a rope to each platform to see if we cracked the lock number. 💪

I suggest this activity to the next lot of year 9's because its enjoyable because you get to collaborate with the people you usually don't collaborate with. :)   

On the first day of camp at night we all had camp idol. It's where you come up with a performance for the audience and judges to be watch and be amazed. My class was struggling to come up with a performance, but still we pitched in with our ideas and came up with an awesome class act. At first I thought we were going to lose for sure because I was too busy concentrating on the other classes and their acts. But once we camp up with the idea of doing our chant and freestyle, I knew we had a chance of winning. With no hesitation my class went up and performed last and I think we did a marvelous job due to us switching it up at the end. At the end of the performance the judges announced the winners and 9KLE won, WOOHOO! Congrats to us ! 🥳️

I suggest to the next year 9's to come up with something that will blow the judges minds and also get every year 9 to participate in the camp idol because you can get house points if you participate. :) 

Side note ~

- Take jumpers.

The "key words" reflection

Identify what did the term "key word" mean to you when gathering research in our Web Res Drafts file and how did it impact on you results?
It meant to me that when you add more quotation marks the more hits you get. My results kept on going higher and higher.

Describe the skill that you learnt in the Who are you topic.
I learnt that robots are most likely going to take over the jobs in the world. 

Explain when and where you could use this skill again.
I could use this again some other time when I need abundance of information from the internet and I might use it at home or at school.

I learnt to solve division problems this week. On Monday I found this
challenging. We did this the whole week. By Thursday I was able to
teach my friend, Tatai how to do it. This was confusing because I
didn’t know how to do it it. I want to do well at maths and would
like to get a 3A at the end of the year. Next, I'd like to learn my percentages.
