Take a challenge and face your fears!!!

At camp I am a little worried about swimming because when I swim I have doubts and think that I might drown. I have never been away from home by myself only with my older sisters, but at least I have people I know surrounding me. This has been my first time at camp M.E.R.C with my classmates and teacher. When I go to camp my strategies are to not think too much about home and my parents.  And try not to get scared of falling out of the raft or dinghy. When we go to camp I won’t be that worried about getting used to where we are because I have classmates in my year that haven’t been to M.E.R.C camp before or away without their parents.

Where would you go?

We conducted a investigation on where was the best place to go camping. To figure out were to go camping we made a tally graph showing how we worked out were to go camping and how many voted.

The blind game !!!


26/6/15
THE BLIND GAME
In preparation for camp next week our team challenge was to guide our partner who was blind safely to the gate entrance and back to the classroom without getting hurt.
Challenge (1) Room 8 students were paired up in numbers of 1&2  so number 1 was the guider and number 2 was the blind person who had lead their blind person to the gate entrance without stepping on the grass.
Challenge (2) After we had lead them to the gate entrance the partners who were blind which was number 2 were asked to come together in a group , and that was when it got twisted number 2’s became number 1’s and had to lead their partner anywhere except the car park and the bottom court. When we got our partner they had no idea where they were going and what was going on. My partner Ingrid tripped a few time when she was walking because I told her to put her leg up  but she didn't nowhere to put it. Then when you have lead you partner around school you were to take back to class safely.
Challenge (3) Once everyone has arrived in class our teacher Miss Dines showed us what our next challenge was. We were switch and move our desk around  and made  loud noises so that the person who was blind think what we were doing in the classroom after we twisted and moved the table Johnny (blind person) was spun around dizzy so that he could get confused and not no where he was walking and stepping on. After Johnnies turn the whole class were again was told to find a partner and only lead them by talking them to going in the right path.
Ending:

The whole point of all three challenges were to guide you partner safely back to class have trust in the partner that was telling you where to go and to have faith in them.
