EOTC youth town!

On Wednesday day we did youth town, first we did making a flint stone cart and we had to lash the strings to tie the bamboo pieces together so the strings can hold the bamboo together. Then we made. Tepe we had to tie a reef knot to hold the bamboo poles but when we put the cover on top of it the cover just kept falling off the bamboo Poles so then we tied string to the cover and then we pulled the strings and the cover came on and we had succeeded then we had to tie the string to something heavy that would hold the string to the ground and we also had to tie the string to the wooden poles so then the cover would stay on top of the bamboo. The we tested it and it completely worked and our tepe was the biggest one in our whole group.then we did problem solving we had to find our way through a mine field and we were really good at it then we had to make our way onto a island without letting any peices of wood leave a gap in between the water and the island after that we played a big game of tag where you had to put four pegs on your self And take some one else's peg of that person.then we did Wilkie talkies and we had to go in the gully and play a game of

 tic tac toe and it was hard because we had to use the walking talkies to communicate with the people we were playing with and every one were screaming on the Walkie talkies it was so annoying it really hurt my ears after that we did archery I almost got a bullzie because I was on the red circle I was about ten centre metres away from a bullzie then we went back to class and read our class book called the witches I really liked it because it was kind of freaky!!

Managing self

I will manage myself by tidying my desk at the right time.

I will manage myself and be caring to other people on the senior side to make sure they are alright always.

My writing goals

I am learning to edit the mistakes I have made because it is better to do that then just letting the teacher do it.

I will do this by checking for mistakes, spelling and punctuation. I will check if my work makes sense. I will also add and remove words.

My reading goals

Hi I am going to share my reading goals with you.

I am learning to monitor and adjust my reading for accuracy and senses  when I get stuck.
