ROCK CLIMBING

When I am out of school I like to do indoor rock climbing. I don't go very often, but I loove it and I love when you get to the top it's such a great feeling. I started doing it during the holidays. You should give it a try!

STATS

lately for maths we have been learning statistics. this subject in maths is the only thing I'm really good at.The areas in statistics I improved in is drawing pie graphs and remembering the mode,median,mean and range. I don't really need to work on anything I know most of everything. the thing that helped me learn effectively in this unit is probably having the tests and all the sheets that we did.

OPC CAMP(is over noooooo)

This is a pic of me on the flying fox,
the flying fox goes over a 20 meter drop!!

last week on Friday I got back from OPC camp in taupo. It was the best experience I ever had and I would love to do it again.

We left school at 10:20 and arrived at OPC at about six. During the week we did lots of activities like high ropes, canoeing/kayaking,caving,flying fox,team building,volleyball,map orienteering,urban caving,abseiling and overnight camping. All of these things were sooo FUN.

My favourite activities were caving,high ropes and the flying fox. The most challenging thing for me had to be getting up early in the morning and having a really long day. The easiest thing for me was most probably the flying fox because all you really had to do was sit down or pull a rope.

My proudest moment was when I abseiled down a 35 meter cliff first. my favourite moment was seeing all of the glow-worms in the caves. they looked like green constellations.

Camp was more than I expected it was way more fun and had much more beautiful views. Camp was the best experience ever!!

SWIM JUST SWIM!!


This term so far we have been going to the pools every Tuesday. I wanted to be in kayaking but sadly I had to be in water safety :(. But it actually turns out to be fun. As I have already mentioned I am in water safety. We have been working on skills, like treading water for a long period of time, jumping into the water without letting your head go under and working on our swimming skills. The main focus of our lessons is surviving after something has happened in the water and having to swim or survive and also learning how to be safer in water as well, and not drowning. In all of the next lessons I would get the most out of it by, listening, giving it my best and trying my hardest.
