2017 Thrilling Skiing Adventure!!!

Hello blogging world! Last week most of the senior syndicate was in for a ride to Mt Ruapehu. The staff decided to go on a snow camp, you can either choose to do skiing or snowboarding. I obviously chose skiing because skiing was much easier than snowboarding. Everyone that was going to camp had a gear list of what they need for this amazing camp. We also started a camp booklet that has a waterfall of information about camp. My slideshow will be in this blog post. 

Half of the families couldn't go to camp but then things changed and they could go. Thanks to Julie for helping us get a $10,000 grant so that everyone could go, and also thanks to our principle who actually let us go on this stunning snow camp. This slideshow would be about some camp information and some research of the some of the places we went to. Below this text is my camp booklet!

Some places like Hamilton Gardens and the Ed Hilary Walkway we had a challenge like however is first to get all the garden names correct and whoever find the most correct answers the prizes was chocolates and for the Hamilton Gardens my group came second so we also won chocolate too. From making this work I have learnt more facts about the three volcanoes and the places that we have been.

 What I found challenging was the first day skiing because I have never experienced skiing and I felt like I was in a lava pit. What I found successful was on the second day of skiing because Mr.Riceman helped me and my friend with more tricks, and on that day I never gave up and I tried everything I could because it was sadly the last day, and I needed to spend my time wisely before we left. Big thanks to everyone who had taken their time to come to camp, and the people that taught me how to ski. 

Overall I really enjoyed this camp because it was my first time skiing and going on the jaw dropping chairlifts. Thank you for reading this blog post please feel free to leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment. Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

Student led toolkits!

Hello blogging world! Today 24 people from the student led toolkits got to have an opportunity to learn and present to New Windsor School and other people from the Ako Hiko schools. If you would like to see more about Ako Hiko the website is akohiko.org. Every student had to get transported so some parents also came. We first arrived and got out lanyards if you don't know what lanyards is it is like a tag or something to show what session you go to during the toolkits. Our lanyard were kind of like a special pass. Most of the time everyone was in the auditorium. All the school had different sessions for 1 hour. Below this text would be some photos of our school! 

2 lucky people got to do the coding challenge and it is in the second photo for the coding challenge they had courses to play with the trendy spheros they are like robots that light up. The third photo is a problem solving challenge when you have given materials to make something. From going to student led toolkits I have learnt how to sign in the WiFi more quicker than usual. Maybe next time should try improve my google slide. I think that everyone has had a really fun day as much as I did. Please feel free to leave a comment! I wish I could do this again! Bye! Bye!
