Thames SPCA Voluntree shelter

Volunteering to help out at the Thames SPCA shelter is really fun.Heading towards the shelter I was excited about walking the dogs,cleaning kennels,feeding pets and more .

My auntie and I helped out three other volunteers clean and wash out the dog cages ,while i was washing the cages i saw a dog run past me, wondering how did that dog get out. So I went after before it got past the gate.The dogs name was Jyinx his skin colour was tan and his eyes were black. As i went after Jyinx I shut the gate before the other dogs got out,finally the dog stopped because he was scared of the cows that were sitting on the edge of the paddock fence.

I was that organized that I was carrying a dog leash with me. So I rushed over and caught his collar and attached the the leash on and took him for a walk down to the other end of the drive and back up again.

Looking after the dogs was fun it was also a great experience for me . I also didn't mind chasing after the dog. actually i wouldn't mind visiting again .

Capsize Drill

Capsize Drill

This is the way you practice a capsizing drill.
Firstly you get a little away from shore then you all lean to one side and over the boat goes .
We always have to be clear from the sails and ropes and swim around to where the centreboard sticks out from the bottom of the boat.
Someone climbs on the centre-board and,hold the side of the boat and lean back . The boat comes up slowly. We have to keep it facing towards the wind, or it might sail off without us , last we lean over the side and start to bail.

Mt Taranaki DLO

Active Earth is our theme that our school is studying this term. We as a class looked at the Legend of Mount Taranaki and we had to retell the story. After a discussion outside on the deck, we decided use animation to retell our story.

We were a group of 3. Vaine, Maree and me. Maree took charge of the animating, Vaine was in charge of the storyboard and I did the voiceover. Our storyboard turned out great.

Our group tried hard to get our DLO finished in time but we will try harder next time.

Our DLO assessment for Term One

Last term we were asked to make movies showing our understanding of some of the korero that helps our students remember the 'Pt England Way'. We worked in groups of 5 or 6 and were assessed on a number of things.
