What helps me to Write? – Literacy
Today in Literacy we discussed Writing.
We had to write or draw things that help us to write, A few things that help me to write are Movies in General (Sci-fi, Horror, Drama), Music (Calming or some that have a story), Chrome (For educational purposes), Pencils (For Ideas on book or paper), Rain (Who doesn’t like Rain, Rain makes you calm at nights and helps you concentrate), and lastly Sleep because Sleep is what powers your body into doing something, Maybe eating and drinking water counts as well but small things like those help you!.
Mana Ako Club – School break.
For this task, It was nearing to the end of Mana Ako for this term, it’s a very sad thing but who isn’t excited about the holidays?
But for now I’ll be explaining how I’ll be preparing for the school break,
What I looked forward to the most is going to college, being in college will make me feel like I achieved something in my younger years.
But some things I would’ve liked to avoid is really just shining. People have that time were they want to be noticed but normal, which was me really.
Also something I don’t enjoy yet but is very good for me, is my school work and reading in front of a group. I’m sometimes known to be shaken in times but I’ve learnt that in the darker times people read in front of a group, so people have had worse moments.
A Learning goal that I want to succeed is posting more often and getting better at my maths!.
Matariki Camp – Mana ako
On Matariki day, Mana ako club had a camp on Friday,Saturday, and Sunday at Houghton’s bush camp! We met so many new people including very religious kids! after all. .it was a christian camp, Mrs Tele’a was the famous cook of them all, meaning the food was really amazing!
on the very first day we got to be introduced in something called a ‘Chapel’, sharing our thoughts about Matariki and understanding the purpose of God and his Holy Son, but for our very first lesson was that we were able understand that we could learn our emotions through season’s, each season resembles something important in your life, for example how Winter and Autumn can bring hard moment’s into your life while Summer and Spring can help improve your Mental and Physical Health.
Overall the camp was really fun to participate in, many kids from all over Auckland!
Thank you Mana ako club for bringing me along to this camp in Houghton’s bush camp!
