Camp Goals

                                          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
I did great with setting 2 goals that are sensible and achievable.

I achieved both of my goals really well. Goal 1 for me was really scary because there are wetas and I don't like wetas.

Mt second goal was a bit hard because we were always talking to each other and it was hard to get one persons attention when you've got 7 other people talking.

Goal 1: My goal is to overcome my fear of caving.

I have chosen this goal because I don't want to be scared of caving.
I'll know I have achieved this goal when I go caving at Highland Home and discover what it is like. I can help myself achieve this goal by going caving and focusing on my goal while I am caving.

Goal 2: My goal is to work well with others.
I have chosen those goal because I want to work well with others and not have a fight.
I'll know I have achieved this when I have worked well with other people.
I can help myself achieve this goal by getting to know others better and by being kind and caring!

Buddies

Reading Portfolio Samples

Nearly 40 people in Auckland have recently been diagnosed with the infectious measles disease.
Westlake Boys High School on Aucklands North Shore is one of the hardest hit communities with 20 ill students.
Several other Westlake Boys High pupils who have not been immunised against measles have been asked to stay away for the next two weeks.
Measles is a very serious disease that is highly contagious and can spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
The symptoms include fever, a cough, sore eyes and a rash. There is no treatment, and complications can be severe.
The Auckland Health Service has estimated that around 750 people are at immediate risk of catching the highly contagious disease.
Dr. Julia Peters said the Health Service had been working with the North Shore school for just over a week when the first case of measles was found there.
"This is definitely more than what we'd normally see. We're working hard to contain the measles within the Auckland region."
Dr. Peters said many people who had come down with the disease had recently been overseas and, in particular, in the Philippines.
The public health service has sent information to parents and students at Westlake Boys High and asked that those students who are not sure whether they have been immunised against measles to stay away.
"What we're trying to do is isolate those students as well as those who have measles, because students who are not immunised can get sick," she said.
Another seven cases of measles in Auckland are being investigated - three of them from the same school.
What to watch for Symptoms
* High fever.
* Runny nose, cough, red eyes.
* Small white spots inside mouth.
* Red, blotchy rash on face and neck and later over entire body.

Then I grabbed 6 colour pencils. What I did next was I sounded out the words and then I did salables to improve my vocabulary. Then I colored in the words what ever colour the salables were. Then I posted it on my blog

My goal for this term is to compare and contrast a variety of different texts. It's important to me as a learner because it will help me learn,I can get better at reading and it will help me get better at maths too. I will reach my goal by reading hard words then understand what the word means.

I will achieve this by reading more books and books and looking at the words closely.
