Rain Shadow Effect

Camp Skits

Over the last couple of weeks we have been busy learning about river crossings, giardia, hypo and hyperthermia and the rain shadow effect (plus other things also). Today we had to get in groups and perform a short skit showing the main points of one of these topics. All groups did a fantastic job and enjoyed performing on in the auditorium. Sorry about the quality of some of the pics. 

Making Damper

On Friday in technology we learnt how to use the camp cookers and make damper. This is something we will make in the Waipakahi Valley. All of 8GMc managed to make something edible - although some took a little longer than others. In a weeks time we will be able to put our skills to the test on camp - can't wait!!!

Team Building

Today we carried on with some team building games. It took a while to get the hang of it but eventually we made progress. What are the most important things to think of when working with others? Comment below.

Hypothermia and Hyperthermia

Camp - 2016

What are you looking forward to most on camp?

In Week 5 we will be heading to Turangi to enjoy the best camp ever! We will take on many challenges and make many memories that will stick with us for our entire lives. Below in the comments write what you are looking forward to the most at camp. This only needs to be a sentence or two.

Library Time

Today 8GMc had their first session in the library for 2016. We learnt about book care - the dos and don'ts - and also heard about some new books and other new books that will be making their way into the library throughout the year. This year each class will also be having 4 librarians. This is to free up the adults to ensure the students get plenty of time to pick their brains about what they might want to read. All students who are interested in being a librarian need to write a letter to Mrs Huggins and Mr McKay stating why they would make the perfect class librarian.
