In the weet-bix you have to swim 100 meters, bike 4km and run 1.5km. I did it all. I was in the first group to hop in the pool. I swam and swam finally I got out of the pool third. I got to transition I had to put on my shoes which took a while. I learnt I should have all my stuff ready in transition. Next time I shouldn't wear lace ups. Now I'm on my bike and biking round the streets. I had to go round a really sharp corner. Next I was biking along the river front, there were also other bikers to watch out for. Finally I was able to dump my bike. Now it's the run, I'm huffing and puffing but I'm going quite fast and I'm passing some 9 year old girls and I'm only 8. Then finally I'm done, I'm so happy. I get a medal and a drink. Now I go get some weet-bix bites. It was such awesome day. My Mum, Dad, Nana and Connor were I there to watch.

Next time I shouldn't wear lace ups

 I learnt I should have all my stuff ready in transition

"Burma-trail first draft



Now it is as dark as the black tar on the road. We are about to walk the creepy bush path. I am feeling nervous when I see the creepy bush path. We all walk down it. There is a rope that gides you. There are roots all over the track. We get to the far end. Now we have to walk back in buddy's. It is Eli and Me. Second to last. We hear a distant scream of fright. We are ready for a fright. Now it's our turn to do it. I am thinking I can no I can't but I do it.

As Eli and Me walk down the spooky track an adult jumped out and went oooooooooooooo we jumped high as kangaroos. We went on. Another adult tickled me. Another went boo. The most scariest was Bruce he went wahahahahahaha. We finally made it to the end.

Burma-trail forth draft



 As dark as black tar on the road. We cautiously walk the creepy bush path. Now am feeling my nerves getting bigger every step of the way. We all walk down to the end. There is a rope that guides you. There are roots all over the track. I fall over. We get to the far end. Now we walk back in buddy's. It is Eli and me. Second to last. We hear a distant scream of fright. We are ready, for a fright. Now it's our turn to do it. I am thinking no I can't, I can, and I  do it.

 The adult's were trying to scare us. Eli and me walk down the spooky track. An adult jumped out and went oooooooooooooo. I screamed!!! We went on. Another adult tickled me. Another went boo. The most scariest was Bruce he went wahahahaha. We finally made it to the end. Once we were at the end we heard the last group go wooh. Finally we saw them, Thomas and Jaiden . All of us were so happy to be at the end. Most kids were laughing, taking about there scares.  

I think I have done most of them. I know I used a range of verbs like cautiously.

Stats sharp shooting

Statistics WALT calculate the mean, median, mode and range for a set of data. 


TASK Elly and Troy want to find out once and for all: which Activity Group has the overall best score, (mean) which Activity Group has the highest middle number, (median) what score was the most common, (mode) which activity group has the highest range. (range) In everyday life people collect data to look for trends and make decisions. In order to analyse the information, we need to understand the different ways to lOOK at the data. 
 
Success Criteria you will know you are successful when: calculate the mean by adding up all the data (9 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 30) then divide the total by how many numbers there were (9, 4, 4, 5, 8 = 5 numbers so 30 ÷ 5 = 6). calculate the median by ordering all numbers from smallest to biggest then selecting the middle number (4, 4, 5, 8, 9 = 5 is the middle number). If there are 6 numbers e.g. 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, then the median is halfway = 5.5. calculate the mode by identifying which number occurs most often (4, 4, 5, 8, 9 = 4 because there are two of them). You can have more than one mode. calculate the range by finding the difference between the highest and lowest numbers (9 - 4 = 5).

Air rifle Data:44,41,33

 My difference in range is 44 and 33

My median number is 41

My mean is about 39

My groups mean number is almost 36

My groups median is 32

My groups range is 7 and 36

My groups mode is 21 23 and 46

I know I got all mine right because I calculated it about three times

My camp goals

WALT: set SMART goals
Success Criteria:
Set 2 goals that are sensible, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely goals
Reflect on goals after camp

My goal is to overcome my fear of heights.
I have chosen this goal because I am scared of heights.
I'll know I have achieved this when I am confident up high.
I can help achieve this by going up high.

At camp I achieved over coming this fear when I was up the abseiling wall because I was confident.

My goal is to treat my cabin like someone else's room
I have chosen this goal because I always chuck my clothes round the room 
I'll know I have achieved this when I stop chucking round my clothes
I can help achieve this by not chucking my clothes round and putting them in my washing basket.

At camp I acheved this by putting my dirty clothes in a plastic bag


I did some goals that were sensible, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely goals.
