School Camp 2019 Shantytown

School Camp

On Wednesday 15th  May we went to shantytown for school camp.
My favourite activities were making flax ropes, building huts in the rain and making a  raft.
When I was making the  raft i was working with Bianca, Zac, Quinn, Victor, and our leader was Braber. My job was plating the flax  to make ropes. We put a doll on it and miz B dressed it  up to look like a maori chef, and guess what it actually floated.

The things we did on day 1 we  did our mihis to everyone
and Miss Barbour and Mrs Mears
we also went on the train to gold panning.
later in the day we did some carving with soap on mine I made  a R for Rebecca.
At night we explored Shantytown and we scared Miss B It was funny.
Then it was bedtime it was torcher people were moving and  talking and snoring
I got to sleep at about 12 and got into bed at about 8:30. Finally morning
We did a bit more thing then went back to  school.

   

Coordinates & Mapwork

This term we have been learning about measurements, coordinates and map work.

We learnt about the directions of the compass.
(North, East, South, West)

The activities that we did were drawing floor plans
and coordinate map activities.
My favourite active was drawing the map of our school
and using it  for a treasure hunt we used  Jess's map for it.
Guess what the treasure was 2 packets of CHOCOLATES!! 

The map  that we are doing is going to help us with our camp
coming up and our rafting trip.
