Library Visit
What i enjoyed the most at the Havelock North library was that there are many different books and that you can look up the book you want and it would come up on the screen.
I learnt a lot of new things and that if i have any question about anything i can just go to these two websites sights that the Liberian lady showed us: Any Question , Many Answers.
I would like to take my little sister there and show her that types of books she can chose from.
The librarian we meet was called Lynette she was nice and she told us things about the library and what types of books you can chose from.

Room 10 coming back from the Havelock North library with their books in their hands.

Goals for EOTC Camp at Weka Point

 EOTC Goals for 2015


Walt For EOTC at Weka Point
  • To experience EOTC in a different, natural environment.
Success Criteria
  • to enjoy the experience
  • to take acceptable risks
  • to live and work together, comfortably and cooperatively in teams.
  • To further develop a sense of responsibility regarding the safety of ourselves and others
  • to develop a sense of adventure
  • to develop awareness of others and their values.


Goals I would like to achieve are:
  •  Keeping my station tidy.
  •  Keep myself on task.
  •  Listening to others.
  •  Make the most of it.
In order to achieve these goals I need to:
  • Clean my mess up after I’m done.
  • To not listen to others when the teacher/parent.
  • Listen to their ideas and not just ignore them.  
  • Have fun.
While on the EOTC experience at Weka Point I would like to:
HAVE FUN.
GOTAR.
Not to stand in the background.




I feel Nervous about going to Weka Point because
I might not be organised or I might forget something.

Something I am not sure about this EOTC experience is: Nothing.














After my camp experience at Weka Point I know that I can now:
  • Have fun and learn at the same time.
  • Carry lots of bags and move them from one place to another.
  • Find my way around Napier.
  • How to play archery soft.

I achieved these goals:   
  •  Keeping my station tidy (I achieved this goal by putting everything away tidy.)
  •  Keep myself on task (I achieved this goal by not really listening to others.)
  •  Listening to others (I achieved this goal by listening to their ideas.)
  •  Make the most of it (I achieved this goal by having fun with everyone.)  

I feel like I want to go back to Weka Point now because I really had fun with my
friends and my new friends.


I used GOTAR when I was helping the adults load and unload the box full of our
clothing and packaging.


Some points that could be improved at camp is keeping mine and Sapphire’s station tidy because it was not that easy to find things in our tent.


The best thing about camp was EVERYTHING because I really liked everything about camp and how much fun we had during camp.
