Camp Series 1 Episode 3

 Hi bloggers! Today I will be shareing with you what happened on Day 2!

Day 2 

It was in the afternoon that we returned to Devil's Punchbowl but this time we didn't go hiking instead we went downto the river.

After all kids in Rimu sat down our instructors Gemma and Ruby asked us some questions about river crossing.

The questions were like : How can you tell if the river is safe to cross? When you cross the river to you go downstream or upstream?....

Then Gemma and Ruby started to explain how to cross a river and when it is safe to cross.

After Gemma and Ruby explained, we tried the steps on the rock then we ACTUALLY CROSSED THE RIVER.... 

THE WATER WAS LIKE ICE.......

After I CROSSED THAT RIVER I FELT WHAT REAL COLD FEELS LIKE.

Now that I know how to cross a river and when to cross I can teach others who don't know or when my family goes on camp and has to cross a river I can teach them and cross safely across the river.

Have you ever done river crossing before?

Have you experienced what Real Cold feels like?

Was it painful like me in the picture?

Camp Series 1 Episode 2

 Hi bloggers!

WELCOME BACK!

In this Episode I will be writing about THE ......... SENSORY TRAIL😱

DAY 1 PM...

We walked up the hills away from APOEC at night.

In the dark we turned on our torches. when we reached our destination we turned our ligth of it was dark as someone black hair we went in the forest We held onto the rope on the side we walked till the end in the middle was parents scaring you. Tripping over wet gloves We reached the end we went back but this time we had a partner one of us put a blind fold on the other lead the way in the middle of the forest we swaped then the person with the bindfold took the lead and the person leading had been blindfolded. 

Finally we reached the end we took the blindfold off.

We walked back to APOEC and had a shower did our refections and went to sleep.

Sorry But we didi take any photos but here is a drawing.

After this activity I anit scared of the dark anymore and I Can also walk through a forest with a blind fold on! ( With a partner ) 

Have you ever been on a Sensory trail like this?

Were you afriad of the dark?

If you have done something like this are you still scared of the dark?

If you are still afraid don't be shy to comment because everyone has weak spots!

Rimu Camp Series 1 Episode 1

 Welcome to the series of Rimu Camp!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Term 3 Week 7 Wedsday 

Rimu Went to Camp in Artthur's Pass.

Episode 1 Starts NOW

DAY 1 - 

We have just arrived in Athur's Pass there was a lot of snow there it filled the whole vilage. When we reached APOEC we unpacked our bags and went in the APOEC

( The place were we were staying in ) 

We met our two instructors Gemma and Ruby.

They ran through some games but before that they asked all of our names.

Then we played a game it is when the instrutor says jump in! then you jump in and then jump out! then you jump out and same with the left and right but... after we have mastered that we do the oppisite like if the instutor said in you would jump out same with left and right.

Then we went through some house rules well APOEC rules.

Then we went into our bunkrooms and put our thing in and picked our beds.

 A FEW MINUTES LATER.....

We were walking up a high mountain called Devils Punchbowl.

Many kids in our class counted how many steps there were on the way up and it was around 300 - 400 steps.

Then the instructors took us to the water fall it was an amazing view so we took some photos.

A FEW HOURS LATER....

We went back to APOEC and ate dinner.

Brushed our teeth had a shower and went to bed.

After the hike I felt kind of tried and it felt like my legs were going to come OFF!

( but they didn't ) 

I think that was a tiring day walking about 300 - 400 step but it was lot's of fun!

BUT IT WASN"T THE MOST TIRING DAY.....

END OF DAY 1.......

TO BE CONTINUTED

Have you heard of anything like that before?

Have you been hiking before?

If so was it fun?

If it was please comment down below and come tomorrow for  EPISODE 2!

Guess what Rimu is doing on wedsenday? 👀

Hi Bloggers!

----------------------------------------------------------------

 Can you guess what  Rimu is doing on wedsenday?

well.....

Were going to Arthur's Past! 

For 2 days! 

I think we are very lucky to go camping in Arthur's Past for two days because we got to pick our own food! like BBQ,NACHOS,CHOCLATE MOUSSE and a lot more!

The most exiting bit is that we get this thing called campers cash. So how it works is if you do somthing postive like helping others trying new things... you get one campers cash and then once we get back to school we will have an auction and you have to use your campers cash to buy things like loilies, toys...

Guess what some of my classmates aready has two and other only have one are you wondering why some people only have two and some has one?

Well that is because that we all started off with one and our teacher said if on monday you bring it back in a ziplock plastic bag you will resive your second one! 

and I was one of the people who had two!.

Here is a doc of images of what I think were we are going to go and stay.

                       

I hope it turns out the same way I think!

I am also exitied because our teacher said that it might be snowing there!

The sad part is that we couldn't take the train back home because all the seats were full and couldn't keep the social dintance between us and others.

Have you been to Arthur's Past?

Have you been on camp before?

Did you have fun there?

If you did or have please tell me what it's like so I can get more of a idea of what it will look like.

Bye for now!

I Have A Dream 💭

 Hi Bloggers!

We are about to start our learning on Speeches in Rimu. When I heard this I Felt very nervous and very worried because I sometime get very nervous when I am infront of lot's of people.

Before we get into all the deep learning and creating, we had train our brain. In order to set up our minds for doing our speeches, we used the 6 tools in the menatl toughness toolkit ( if you are wondering what that is it is a workbook that we have been working on and it all relates to GRIT ) to make a motivational drawing of ourselves thinking about what we could do when we do our speech.We have used google drawing to create this drawing and my DLO is down below - a visualisation of me during my speeches learning. MY dream for how it will all go.

While I was creating this drawing I thought about What tip I should give myself for when I actually do my speech.

 The hardest part for me during speeches is going to be Staying calm and don't mess up.

 The easiest part is going to be probally writing my speech.

 I chose these tips for myself because I always get nervous when I do it and I always don't think it is fun I think it is a MUST DO.

Have you ever done a speech before?

What would your tips be?

Have you ever gotten nervous when you were doing your speech before?

If you are writing a comment on this blog, you could choose to use these sentence starters - POSITIVE - I enjoyed the part when...

 THOUGHTFUL - Did you think about...

 HELPFUL - How come...

So if you have done a comment please tell me if these were useful Thanks! Bye!

Blog Commenting

 What I know about Blog Commenting:

I know that Blog comments have to be Positive, Thoughtful, Helpful and question

I aslo know that when you are commenting you have to try to make a conection with them to make a chat.

Also You will need to give them some feedback and not just talk about youself.

One other one I know is don't writng down you your private info like phone number house number plate...
