Athelitics 2020

  

In 13th of November 2020 we had a very fun event, we call this Athletics day. it is the day where 4 teams compete for the best winning house, the teams were, Tobruk, Tripoli, Benghazi, Alamein. The point of the game is to get the most points for your team by playing field events such as shot put, discus, high jump, long jump and  standing jump. Aach team has a gazebo to stay on so people don't get sun burned.   

For the first game I did, was Shot Put the rules of this game is to places the shot by your shoulders and your not allowed to throw only push, whoever gets the farthest push wins the game and gets to represent their school. The next game I played was Standing Jump, the rules of standing jump is to jump where you were standing and no double movements. For the third game I played was discus, a tip for discus is to throw it at the right time and ahold it from the front. the  fourth game I played was long jump, long jump is a simple game all you need to do is run and try jump your farthest but you have to jump before the line but if you don't you get disqualified. The last game I played was high jump, for high jump you just have to jump over the pole then land on the soft mat, but the only technique you could do was scissors. after all of that then we had morning tea.

After morning tea we moved on too...RACING, first it was juniors first it goes to 5 year old boys/girls then to 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, there are a 50 meter race then 75 meter race then 100 meter race and a 400 meter race but that is only for the older people. But then in the end Alamein won then Benghazi then Tobruk then Tripoli

I saw a very cool thing under the microscope like a fly leg. It has so much hair on it and it has two claws that are very pointy and sharp. It was also fun and scary at the same time.

 My experience with the microscope was amazing. I saw a bee stinger and it looked hairy af, had a sharp pointer. And I thought it looked amazing from my perspective.

Camp example text .

 School camps are good because children get new experiences and it helps us build confidence and independence. Camp is a natural thing to do when you're in year 7 , 8 and all the above.  

Camp is generally fun because you get to do outside activities, make new friends , not focus on social media and get to know new people. For some people Roasting marshmallows, leaving their parents, bunking with friends, eating new food and getting out of Auckland might be new to them. Outdoor activities such as  Kayaking , paddleboarding, orienteering, rock climbing or even going on a night time stroll might be fun for first timers.  For example at my camp it was my first time doing Kayaking , sitting on a hammock and orienteering. Kayaking was pretty fun because it was hard to paddle my way to the other side, I was with Metui so it was a bit complicated to communicate with him. Orienteering was fun as well so I hope I get to revisit it at year 9 camp.

Electronics, Energy drinks etc were not allowed at camp because we are all game addicts , for example drug addicts so that we didn’t focus on our devices instead of doing the activities the teachers set up.

School Camp helps build confidence and independence, like for example learning new skills / experiences, learning peoples cultures, encouraging others to do the right things and also help with activities. Building confidence can start to build by doing  Kayaking, Paddle Boarding, orienteering, rock climbing and night walking. A camp night walk takes about 20 - 30 minutes of time to walk there and back. I heard paddle boarding was fun but luckily I slept in haha. My experience was pretty alright with team building because the night and morning walks energized me up for the morning.
