Havelock North Library Time

Havelock North Library Time

Today I have been to the library with the rest of my class. We walked down to the library and visited Lynette who talked to us about the Library and how it worked.

What did you enjoy?: I enjoyed walking down to the library in the morning because we got to be out and have some fresh air while walking through town.

Lynette talked to us about some websites for kids doing homework or in search of information. The websites are called: Any Questions? and: Any Answers. I also enjoyed searching for the book in the series I am reading (Necropolis).

What did you learn?: I learnt how everything works because when I go to the library I might want to know how to get out a book. Lynette also told us about the computer and how to search the names of books and authors up and how to find them. Also in the dewy decimal system.

What do you want to do now?: I would like to go to the library more often because now I can actually return, get out and search for books. Also the library is a nice place to read a book and I enjoy reading books!

Camp Goals

EOTC Coals for 2015

WAL 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:

• Get the best sleep ever because of the New Zealand Tri, Aquathlon, swim.
• Help people out and work as a team.
• Do everything I can (:
• Be adventurous.

In order to achieve these goals I need to:

• Read a book at night.
• Help everyone and not myself.
• Don’t be scared.
• G.O.T.A.R. - Go On Take A Risk.

While on the EOTC experience at Weka Point I would like to: Get a good night sleep, give everything a go and work as a team.

I feel enthusiastic about going to Weka Point because there are a lot of awesome activities.

Something I am not sure about this EOTC experience is: I’m not going to get enough sleep.
