WRITING.
- Start your writing here: On the 8th of may the year 8’s, Mr Wiseman and Mr Moran went off to kauaeranga valley for camp as it was to help with their confidence and leadership. For the next 3 days they would be gone. With the year 8’s gone, the year 7’s had a step up program. The step up program was to also help with confidence and leadership. We got split into groups and we had an assigned class to go to. My assigned class is room 5 which is also my homeroom class. I went to my assigned class and had a discussion with my group. There were 3 groups, each group came up with a name. My group’s name was called “Hustlers” The other 2 groups were named “Buckles” and “Mana”.
Each day every group had a different activity as they rotated class by class.
Our first teacher we had was Ms Tipene, to start off the step up program, our first activity was a haka challenge. Every group would have to do the haka and the best group that performed well would get extra points.
Since every group performed well everyone got extra points.

We did multiple activities but my top 3 favourite highlights were Find the lyric game , Movie day and building. Find The Lyric game is where we are given a word and we have to find a song that has that word in it. I do not know the official name for the game. For example if I said the word Rainbow you would have to find a song that has the word Rainbow in it. Movie day was extremely fun, we were given little boxes of popcorn along with mini fizzy drinks. Last but not least, building. We had to get into groups for this project, we received blocks and whoever built the highest tower won the game. Unfortunately there was no prize.

It was the last day of the step up program and I was a bit unhappy as it would go back to normal. But at the same time I kinda missed normal school.
This concludes for my blog for today. I hope you enjoyed reading my recount! 🙂
