Year 9 Camp

On Monday and Tuesday, all the year nine classes and our mentors, went on a two day and one night camp. On the first day of camp, everyone had to hike up the mountain and back down to get to the camp site. After the hike, we had to do our first activity. The activities that were taking part were the, Confidence Course, The Beast, The Crate Challenge and many more. On the second day, we had to do some more activities. My favourite activity that my group took part in was the Confidence Course. In the Confidence Course, you have to go through a few obstacles that involve mud as well.

Push and Pull factors

Push factor. Push factors are factors which motivates one person to leave their home or country. In migration a push factor is those that encourage a population to leave its home.

Pull factor. Pull factors are the opposite of what a push factor is. A pull factor attracts people to a certain location. Example of these pull factors are better education, freedom, better living conditions and many more.

Rivertalks

On Thursday, three year 9 classes went to the Tamaki River. We all went to the Tamaki River to talk about how we could clean the river. At the River talk, there quite a few stations that we had to move to. We would sit or stand, then move to another station. My favorite part of the River Talks was, going to the Cook Island station. When we were at the Cook Island station, the drummers would play a beat that they had practice. Before, we had to move on with the next station, one of the drummers said one boy and girl from each school had to dance in front of everyone. After when some people, had finished dancing, we had to go to the very last station. After the last station, we all walked back to school.

Also, the last box is a cardboard box. It is very helpful, when your moving from house to house. It carries things that you put in there, instead of walking back and forth, with random things in your hand.
