Camp Blog - Task 4:HIGH ROPES DESIGN: Wet Ropes - Huriata Reflection

This is a design I did if I were to create another high ropes course. 

Camp Blog - Task 0:CAMP REFLECTION: Cabin Night - Huriata Reflection

My Highlights! Cabin Night

It was during fiafia night that I had had a good night, I did not really have a good night, no, not at fiafia night. It was actually after the ceremony when we went back to our cabins to rest. If you'd would've known or been there 'Faith' a friend of mine that was in our cabin had performed more than two times that night. It was whilst being there that Faith had wanted to perform a song called 'One step at a time' though she wanted to do a duet, with me. I didn't feel like it, well, that and if I didn't want to do it I would've ruined her performance. So no! She did sing the song but  when back in the cabins she felt so down... really down. She had wanted nobody to sing or say sing (Which, ah... NO! Because that was her own fault for making herself feel like that)  She had eventually given up and our cabin were annoyed at her. We helped her out and sang with her. It was a magical, musical night as we sang songs and the whole cabin had a good night after learning about each other and being able to create a stronger bond(Other than the cabin next to us).

That was my highlight. I learnt that I am very supportive, forgiving and loud, I like making new friends but I also like making the right friends. The thing that I was surprised about me was how comfortable I was being with the girls in my cabin. We showed team at camp by being somewhat/ being involved. Well, we showed 'participating and contributing' by being involved in the activities we did. And for 'Relating to others' it was obvious everyone was very independent but tried to work together in there own way. Some skills I think I need to improve on is being more involved and share idea's, the relating to others is probably being able to coop and decide my own (something) that everyone agrees on!

Camp Blog - Task 7: CAMP SHIELD: Team - Huriata Reflection

This drawing represents how everyone works in a team. The hand meaning achievement and more, the designs on the rope/ material meaning 'holding everyone together' and the T.P.S sun and pattern meaning being a family (Tamaki).

Camp Blog - Task 8: VENN DIAGRAM... Before and After - Huriata Reflection

28/11/16


Well, for starters I am more daring to try something new and give it a go. On the first day of activities whilst at camp the confidence course and low ropes course really stood out as "Aw, that will be hard! I won't be able to do it" or "I can't do that! i'll let my team down..." to me.

I have more friends (The girls that were in my cabin) and know some more (Knowledge) about them, creating somewhat of a deeper bond and closer relationship. It was interesting, my journey with them has been bumpy and it really surprised me to know how we could make this bond stronger.

Ah.... Yes, I have gained knowledge about things i've never known! The first is that, I didn't know you had to cut off a sheep's tail! To know that I was like "Oh my god! Why would do that?!" and then I learnt 'Flystrike'. It was strange finding these bits of fluffy sticks known as sheep tails around the camp grounds.

Morning Activity_Learning Reflection with 'Ms Kyla' (Celebrating ME!!)

Huriata - H.P

Morning Activity - Learning reflection

Today me and my class members learnt why it was important to embrace ourselves and celebrate ourselves through written words (On a brainstorm/Piece of paper) During this students wrote five things about themselves as well as rotating around the class to say something about someone else in a positive manner, the things I've read so far on the piece of A3 substance I have was " Intelligent - Your brainy at learning" "Loyal friend you make me crack up" and "You are supportive of others"
I think it was important to recognise my own values because It say's a lot about who I am, not only that but I am then able to recognise others values and potential by understanding them with myself.
I feel satisfied with the activity we've just done because now I have a better understanding of how people view me (SMART) Yep! Satisfied.

Reflection - Camp Organizing (Cabins/dorms and teams)

11/11/16

This morning room nine and ten collaborated in miss Aireens class to decide on our cabin names and team names for the upcoming trip to Raglan in week seven. My cabin is 'Spiod' which stands for 'Spire People In Other Dorms', and the girls I'll be staying with are Paris, Rosemary, Khalicia , Helen, Lovey and Alone. I made the name in reference to the theme 'Relating to Others'  in which everybody agreed on. For the teams I'm in Unstoppable, which is cliche seeing as another team is called the Unbreakables though I agreed and am quite pleased with the decision that we've made. Then after we were to do a brainstorm of what Participating, contributing and Relating to Others means to us.
