What We Did
The student leaders went on camp for 2 days and 1 night. I am apart of this student leader group so went there to. While we were there we did a lot of fun activities. And we also learned while we were at camp. When we got there the first thing we did was set up the tents. This was one of the
many learning activities we did. Putting a tent up was learning for me because I had never putt a tent up. I enjoyed the process of putting the tents up. After that we got changed into our togs, had lunch and talk about as a group what could go wrong what could cause it to go wrong and how you could prevent it from happening. Then we went into our car group and we to one of the beaches. Then we unloaded the kayaks after that we got onto our canoes and went out into the water. After a hour or so we brought our kayaks back ton the shore and loaded them back up and so on and so fourth. When we arrived back at the camp sight we changed into our clothes. Then we discussed the ram form for biking I was apart of the group who worked on this. We biked to another beach but this one was much smaller. Mr. Barclay told us we were stranded on in island and we had to build a shelter. Then his put us into groups of three. I was with Jemima. Our group came second. Then we biked home. At 8:11 we played spotlight it was fun. The next we packed our stuff and left and went to mori hot pools. We did a cold challenge in the plunge pool. 2 girls lasted 18 minutes. The boys lasted like a minute or so. Also i'm the only one who got that minute the other boys ditched me. After a 2 hours or so we went back to school and waited for our parents to pick us up.
Something I think I could've done with this piece of writing would be to make it a little bit more interesting. Also it's not a recount if it were it would be the worst one I have done

What We Did
We had to read about Guy Fawkes on wonderopolis here is the link we used https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/who-was-guy-fawkes.
You got to chose if you wanted to draw it on hand or use google drawing. I chose drawing on hand has you can see in my picture. Also i'm better than drawing on paper than I am on google drawings. There were questions to answer as well.
What I Wrote
Guy Fawkes was a man who tried to blow up parliament with barrels of gunpowder. There were 13 people involved. 1 of the 13 people sent a letter to parliament because they couldn't keep a secret and they betrayed them. Why did they want to destroy parliament and harm people? If you know the answer to that please tell me the answer in the comments. Controversial means causing much discussion. Protestant means a member of one of the christian churches. Catholic means of or relating to the roman catholic church. We had to write that because you had to write 3 words you didn't know the meaning of and then you had to write what they meant after you found out. I picked the two words I didn't know the meaning of and picked 1 I already knew which was catholic.

๐ My Canoe ๐
What I did
In our voyaging slide it says to make your own canoe. In my canoe I wrote song lyrics or drew images that were in the music videos. I used oranges get turned into orange juice. Bellyache is a song title. And I used a symbol that is owned by a singer I like. And a music symbol hanging from the point of the canoe.
Other
This took me over a week or so I made other one but I was not happy with them. What I enjoyed was drawing my canoe. And I liked discovery what ideas I could put in my canoe drawing. What I found challenging was trying to find what to put on my canoe drawing.

What I found challenging was making the images fit in with the writing.

๐ Near Death ๐
We started to walk to the deep dark river.
We arrived and there were some white fluffy
sheep staring at us. As my brother set up I
waited knowing that about 8 sheep were just
constantly looking at us. My brother found
a eel in the river he tried to catch it but
he failed. I jumped to on a rock but as soon
as I did I regretted it.
I jumped… My hands gripped to the long grass that
were hanging down. My feet and calves were in the
deep eel infested water. I cried I screamed. I could
feel the currant pushing against my calves and feet.
I knew as long as I did not let go I would be alright.
One of my brothers came running to help me. He grabbed
my arms and he pulled me up.
I sat down in total shock not even crying just thinking
about what could've happened. I just started to play with
the hard rough dirt. I slowly climbed up to the top of the
small hill. I looked at the river. Thankfully we started to
head back home.
Our classroom was writing about a time when you were scared.
What I enjoyed was making my writing interesting and descriptive.
What I found Challenging was thinking of what to write about.
