100WC

Here is my 100 WC for this week.

It was a beautiful night to go for a wander, Skai stepped outside to feel the warm breeze blowing in her face! She sees a light in the distance and her curiosity starts growing. 

As she walks deeper into the night it starts to fog, she gets scared so pulls out her flashlight... But it's flat, she sees the light again and it has grown bigger just as much as her curiosity has. 

She finally finds the Bamboo Forest with the glistening and glowing leafs, she catches one and hold it as it warms her up.  She is happy! 

Here is a pic of the prompt.

Here is my timetable for term 3, it changes every week depending on what we are doing and what my needs are. You can see my goals at the top I want to work really hard this term so I can be prepared for High School next year. This term I am looking forward to our 4th outdoor William Pike Challenge which is a bush survival skills day. We are doing the Digi Awards which is something I am excited about!

WW1 1915

A couple of weeks ago Rimu Class went to the Air Force Museum, we got to learn about the war and more about the differences between The Air force, The Navy and The Army. Once we finishes talking about it then we went into a room that showed us what is was like on an island.

We got to have a explore the Museum, we went into a room with huge planes and things that they used back in the war. There was a big wall in the Museum about the people who dies in the war.

As a response to the museum the class had to get into groups and make a project to send to the Air Force Museum. Our group, Emily, Jorja and I made a collab with Jesse and Gus, here is our video! Hope you enjoy :)

Rock Climbing

Rimu Year ⅞’s are participating in the 2016 William Pike Challenge. William and James were walking up Mt Ruapehu they stayed in a small cabin. It was about the middle of the night when there was a huge snow storm! William got stuck in the mud and the snow so he couldn’t move. William had to get his leg amputated but still carried on travelling New Zealand.

On Monday the Year ⅞’s went rock climbing and abseiling as our second William Pike Challenge, here is my story about my experience and feelings when I was rock climbing.

The Rimu Year ⅞’s went up to Cattlestop Crag for our second William Pike outdoor challenge. We arrived in the Port Hills and it was FREEZING.  Steve and Josh were our instructors for the day, we started walking on a narrow pathway to the abseiling wall. Below me was an amazing view of Christchurch, grass hills, rocks, roads and houses.

When I was climbing I looked down and saw an amazing view of Christchurch. I felt so small compared to this view!

We stopped at the abseiling wall and Steve talked to us about what we will be doing at this rock., we kept walking to the Rock Climbing rock. He got us to put our harnesses on to get ready for climbing.

Steve took six people to abseiling, and Josh took about fourteen to Rock Climbing. I climbed up one of the easy rock wall and I got about a ⅓ of the way up the rock and then I got down. While we were waiting to go to abseiling we explored the area Steve took 5 people to abseiling and Josh took his 6 people to rock climbing.

When we arrived at the abseiling wall I thought that it would be pretty easy! But no, after Jesse and Emily went down it was my turn, I was so scared!

I abseiled down and felt like I was walking on a wall!

Hope you enjoyed!
