A Moment In Time (Archery)

A Moment In TIme

Archery

I heard the swishing noise from the arrow as I shot it well the wind was swishing over my body with a cold breeze 

 

I saw my hands shaking well I was grabbing onto the bow & arrow

 

I felt like i was going to miss somewhere else then the target

 

I wondered what would have happened if I did miss would it have went over the target or would it have just fall to the ground

At camp we had lots of challenge activities to try. Our challenge in with our poem was to chose our words carefully so that we painted a clear picture of what we were describing in the mind of our readers. Ene and I have described what it was like to shoot a bow and arrow. We chose this challenge because I wanted to experience how it felt to shoot a bow and arrow.

This term we made Tamaki river like what Samuel Marsden saw. Who is Samuel Marsden you might ask, Samuel Marsden is a missionary that came from the UK to spread Christianity and spread farming to the Maori’s. How we made the Tamaki river how looked like how it looked from decades ago. Their was a brush tool that add stuff to put on it. The most fun part was the putting the waka’s. Some thing’s was difficult to remove but ia was still fun.

Alley Way

This term we created a alley way, I found this activity exciting and fun. Our task was to copied a story that had to be like the story. The fun i put in was the graffiti, light pole and the sky, how did i do it. There was color brush to color in the part that you want to put stuff in, and there would be a text to write what you want on that part.

When i was done i wote i blurb, This is the image I created using the Adobe Express. I found this activity challenging because not to cover the part that is already done but I found it fun because I could put graffiti and more stuff on it.

What reading looks like in LS2, Today our task was about the kuaka.What learning looks like in LS2, We always share ideas to each other. The responsibility of the leader is to manage everyone to be on task and ask everyone their ideas. What helped me that everyone share their idea and that me more knowledge. The most important part is that everybody was one task and they were on task.

The Kuaka, the kuaku is a bird that migrates when the whether changes. And the other task was dot to dot, we had to put words that matches the Kuaka. Then you had to do line’s that matches the word, this is a example location and journey then you do a line, and you write, they go from New Zealand to Alaska.
