EOTC 2016 - What a blast!

What an amazing time we had at Motu Moana and Orakei Basin last week. We all used our Balmoral Habits well and over came many challenges, used team work and had a load of fun.

EOTC Gear List 2016

EOTC Gear List

All your gear must be clearly named – it is your responsibility to look after each day.

You MUST bring:

       Motu Moana

• Empty 1.25 or 2.25 plastic bottle for Bottle Rockets (these go to your class in Week 5 and 6)
• Sun block
• Sunhat
• Sport shoes (that can get dirty)
• Rain coat or jacket (if the weather forecast suggests)
• Snacks/Morning Tea
• Lunch
• Drink bottle
• Insect repellent (OPTIONAL)
• Change of clothes
• Plastic bag for wet gear
• Please no singlet tops, everyone must wear a top that covers shoulders.

Orakei Basin

• Swimming togs
• Sunblock (water resistant)
• Towel
• Sun hat
• Rash shirt or t-shirt which can get wet (no bare shoulders)
• Wet suit (if you have one - however, there are plenty at the Basin to wear)
• Warm change of clothes
• Old sports shoes or footwear that can get wet (everyone must wear shoes not jandals)
• Snacks
• Lunch
• Drink bottle
• Insect repellent (OPTIONAL)
• Plastic bag for wet gear

You will need this to fit into your school bag, so that you can carry it on the bus.  It is always a good idea to have a practice packing your bag, so you know where everything is.

Grasshopper Tennis

Everyone in Room 18 is back into the swing of things for Term 4. It's warming up and we are enjoying being able to use the school pool again. We have also had a great time this year with Grasshopper Tennis; we have learnt a lot of new skills and also had heaps of fun. Here are some pictures of us in action.


 

EOTC Week

Well, we are now back at school and really sinking our brains into classroom learning. We have had some great discussions about some of the things that we were able to take part in during EOTC (Education Outside The Classroom).

Watch some of the great events on this slideshow and then tell us about these things:

- Something you really enjoyed and why.
- Something that you found tricky or challenging. What was it that made it hard? Did you overcome the challenge? How?
- Something that you are now really proud of achieving and why.
- How did you support other members in your group?

What a great learning experience Room 18!

Have a great holiday!

Room 18 are now on a two week holiday break.

Everyone has worked hard and what a great term it was!

Carey Park 2011

What a wonderful time we had at Carey Park. Many new adventures were had and many new achievements were gained.

With amazing activities, great food and excellent company - what else could have been this good!

Carey Park Camp 2009

I hope everyone has recovered from our awesome week at Carey Park Camp in Henderson Valley. The weather was great, the activities amazing and the children 100 % top class.

This task is for you to reflect, discuss, share thoughts and feelings about your experiences. Be honest and let us know about challenges you faced and over come, highlights that will stand out in your memories for years to come, or just any random thoughts you have about Carey Park Camp 2009.

Looking forward to reading your responses Room 18!
