My Term 2 Reflection Prezi!

William Pike Challenge Rock Climbing Journey!

Rock Climbing At CattleStop Crag

On Monday 20th June Rimu Class went rock climbing for the William Pike Challenge Award at Cattlestop Crag. We couldn’t of gone up to rock climbing without Andrea, Tanya, Miss Todd, Mrs Royfee and Miss Blair who provided transport to Mt Pleasant. At first it was very windy and cold but after 10 minutes it was really warm and not windy at all.

When we stopped driving we had to walk the rest of the way down the track to the rock. As we were walking down to the rock we past the abseiling rock, It was really high up. When we got to the climbing rock our instructors asked us what we knew about the William Pike Challenge. Our instructors names were, Steven and Josh. When we first got there I felt excited but also nervous because we were so high up but the view was fantastic. Below us we could see all of Christchurch and the estuary near Redcliffs.

What I enjoyed most was walking the track and climbing the rock as well. I didn’t do the abseiling because I was to afraid to, because we were already high up and we had to climb higher to abseil down the rock. I also didn’t want to walk down a wall backwards.

At the end when we finished climbing we all walked over to the abseiling rock and my sister was still abseiling down, when she got to the bottom of the rock most of the class walked down the track back to the cars. A few of the values that William Pike told us were to have pride in what we had achieved and to also show resilience in climbing. I can see how these values relate to me from previous hockey injuries, and my everyday school life.

100WC (French Statue)

One year ago I went to a french restaurant and saw a person sitting on a bench, I decided to go sit next to him. It turned out that he was a french statue made out of french clay, but I still wanted to have a staring contest, he one but he is a statue. But then he blinked and then he put his arm on the side of the bench. Later that night I decided to break into the restaurant and see what the french statue could do. And when I wasn’t looking he came and stood behind my head.

100 Word Challenge

One day I was walking back from school and I found big stairs leading into the sky, it was very shiny.

So I decided to climb the stairs up into the puffy clouds, when I reached the top, I saw a herd of pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows, behind the golden gates. A few moments later I traveled over to the golden gates and pushed them open and walked through to see a giant crummy structure in the shape of a donut, It was called donut palace, so I walked in and he said I donut care, “ok bye”

My TimeTable for Term 2

This term our school value we are focusing on is being an Enthusiastic Learner. This means in Term 3 I will be focusing on sticking to my own timetable. This also means that we are getting better at self managing our learning and we will be better with using our time. This is important because later on in life we will hopefully be better at using our time better. What do you think? Any tips?

Surfing Video And Surfing Poem

On Monday 21st March the Year 7/8s from Rimu Class went surfing for the day at Sumner Beach. I found standing up on the surfboard was quite hard to do, but when I got use to it, it was quite easy.  Here is my senses poem about my surfing.

I could smell the strong salty air.

I could smell the strong salty water

I could hear the the seagulls chirping for more food.

I could hear the surfboards crashing onto the waves like the sound of an elephant stomping its feet.

I felt light when I took my wetsuit off.

I could feel the waves coming over top of me.

I could see the waves crashing down onto the shore.

I could see seagulls flying high and low.

I could taste the salty water in my mouth.

I could taste the water as if it was french fries.

I could surf the biggest waves.

It felt like I could do anything on the water.

Here is a video of me surfing, I hope you enjoy.
