Summer Learning Journey

Kia ora and welcome to my blog this summer, this summer I am going to be doing the summer learning journey again. I am planning to format it a little bit differently this summer as I hope to make it easier to find each weeks posts. So to do this I will be posting all my work from each week at the end of each week. You can expect my first post by the end of the week see you then.

What I Do For Christmas

for today's task we had to make a DLO about what we do for Christmas so here it is:

 

Passion project reflection

The passion project I chose was digital world with Mr Carter, I learned how to make an Augmented Reality sandbox or an AR sandbox. The part I enjoyed most was seeing the finish product even though it didn't work that well. Something I disliked was getting kicked out of the wood room because I couldn't be trusted in there. Next time I would like to do some thing different like maths craft or wearable arts. Overall I thought it was great but I would do something different next year.

EOTC week blog post

Before camp I felt exited to be going to places to have fun and learn about cool things. Now that it's after camp I fell like I enjoyed myself especially now that I have done all those fun activity's. The best activity was Adrenalin Forest where you do obstacle courses that are high up off the ground. It was great and all but the mosquitoes and sand flies were killers. The best part of it all was flying down the flying foxes at Adrenalin Forest. Although the activities at Omaka Scouts Camp were also fun.

AR Sandbox Reflection

For passion projects I am making a AR sandbox. It was fun to draw the diagrams and look at the materials needed to make it. I mainly wanted to do it because it looked and sounded really really cool. now that I've done it I am glad I did it. But while making the AR sandbox I was kicked out of the wood tech room and had to make a presentation. It was a shame, here is the presentation:

Adrenalin Forest

On Thursday for the final day of EOTC week, the year 8's went to Adrenalin Forest. We split into two groups, one went for a wetlands walk while the other went to Adrenalin Forest. I was in the group that went for the wetlands walk first. At the end of the walk there was a bird watching hut, after everybody had been in the hut we headed back the way we came and went to Spencer Park. When there we played on the playgrounds until it was time to go to Adrenalin Forest. Once we got there someone showed us how to put on our harness and how to use it. After he was done we went off and did our own thing. I started with pathway 2 and went on to pathway 3 then it was lunch time. After lunch my nose started bleeding and once it stopped I went on 3b.

My Favorite Memory From Year 8

Today we have to write a blog post about our favorite memory from year 8, we have to write it in twenty minutes so I should get started. So here it is:

The best memory from year 8 was the creation of the new library and learning street. It is the best memory because after it was made you could go on your computer a lot more than before. Also you can do it without going in the now demolished science lab to do it. Plus there are more comfortable seats to sit on and you can also go in the rooms. That is why the creation of the new library and learning street is the best memory from year.
