Year 9 2K17

Camp Adair 2K17 Year 9 Family

2017 year 9 students went on an amazing cold camp, at Camp Adair Hunua Falls.

As we arrived at the YMCA Camp Adair, we separated into our groups. Every single class got a tutor to walk with through the forests. We separated of into our own ways, 9KJS was our class. It was on, climbing through branches, twigs and everything else in the bush, with our carves and every part of our body's aching. People were getting tired really fast, up the giant hills we went. It felt like we were going slip and sliding because we kept falling and slipping over.

My Highlights from this year 9 stars camp, was getting to know more year 9 students better, and also I got to hang out with my friend's and we got to spend more time with each other doing the activity's.

My Favourite activity at camp was the Cargo Net because we finished early so we got to play more games, and we got to spend time with the boys and we just enjoyed getting to know them a bit better.

My favourite highlight of most all was going home, because it was really cold at Camp Adair, I was glad to come home because I got to be warm again. It felt like a was a Frozen icicle at that camp. I would of loved to stay that long, but Nah I wanted to come home. I had fun at Camp but at the same time it was a disappointment that it was only 1 night, I might as well of called it a Sleepover at Camp Adair.

The worst activity ever was the confidence course, you had to go under, over and even through things to get to the other side. You had to go through really smelly mud, over the mud and even more. You had to do more things to finish of the whole confidence course, the water was really cold it felt like ice when we finished.

But after all of that I think the year 9 students have come together as friends but more than friends as Family! We have bonded with each other and I think that we learnt alot from our two day camp. We took all of the things we have learnt back to school. We are going to show the teachers who didn't come camp what we learnt.

I think if we go to a camp for more than two days, I think we would of bonded more than friends, but as Family. Please Leave A Comment On My Blog !

These are my highlights for camp 2K17!! 

Ms Robertson Journey

Today Miss Robertson's Mum Ms Robertson, came in today and told us a short story about her journey from Samoa to New Zealand. Ms Robertson told us what she did in Samoa to get to New Zealand, Ms Robertson had to do a Interview in Samoa to get into New Zealand. The challenges she faced was speaking in English, and also she had to make new friends because she knew no one in New Zealand.

I learnt that you can do anything if you try and be encouraged by others, you will reach your goal, and you will get the job you want, you just need to work hard. She wanted her children to come back to New Zealand because they learnt a lot in New Zealand, she educated her kids, so they could get a better job.

Migration Model

My Migration model shows you what my migration model is. There is two differences in two countries of islands, on the left side you have differences in Tokelau and on the right side you have different things in New Zealand.

So in Tokelau there is Push reasons. There is many reasons why people would leave Tokelau. People would leave Tokelau, because of the population, the population is getting less and less. Also how there is not enough job opportunities for the students and people to work.

New Zealand, people would love to come to our country because we have a lot of things to come and see and check out. Also people from other places around the world would love to come to New Zealand because we have more technology devices to use, and our schooling goes up to year 13 before we go of to our own ways.

Reflection On Exams 2K17

I wasn’t really prepared for the exams because I didn’t study enough for each subjects because I kept getting distracted from other members around me. I felt really scared by heart was pumping like a fast drum beat, I knew I might fail but I tried by best in every subject. I was really scared that I wouldn’t pass at least one exam. The subject I wasn’t expecting to good marks in was maths, because maths is like my worst subject ever, but I know I have to get high marks on Maths and English because that’s the two most important subjects you need to have.

Maths was one of the subjects that I got confused, I struggled a little bit because I didn’t really understand what the question meant. So that’s really why I might of failed. My heart started pumping faster than a cheetah that’s how scared I was because, I didn’t know what was going to happen with my exam grades.

This Is My Digizen

Today in Health class I have created this digizen to show people around the world what really happens from cyber bullying. These are my thoughts on making my Digizen.

This is what I want for the world and myself.
I want a world where there was no cyber bullying. I want a world where no one can hack into someone else's MSN or Facebook.

I want this for my friends, because a lot of them are going through cyber bullying. I want my friends to make sure they are always safe online, I also want my friends to not be discriminated against people of the same age.

What are keyboard warriors? A person who makes aggressive posts on the internet, so that means there revealing who they really are.

Why are there keyboard warriors? There is keyboard warriors in this world because people are afraid to express them self's in front of the person so they have to do it online.

What can we do to help stop keyboard warriors? We can stop the keyboard warriors by helping the person who is actually getting imitated by the person who is the keyboard warrior. We can help them by stopping them and making a stand for others.
