True? or False?

Greetings, this afternoon room 3 were learning about whats true and whats false. Many people seem to believe in things that are "true" but are actually false, for example say that if you eat spiders you'll become spider man which is definitely false. Most people seem to believe false things that may sound true mainly on social media such as tiktok,instagram,facebook etc. 

So how do you find out if its true or false?

doing research before doing anything else can help prevent you from getting injured. Doing research can give you real answers unlike social media, even though the things that are said on social media can sometimes be true, doing research is still the best decision for you.

What I have done in the holidays.

 3 months ago it was announced that the whole of New zealand would go into lockdown for 1 week due to coronavirus, Auckland was at level 4 while some of the islands were at level 3. Many were shocked with the news, some irritated and some happy, this wasn't really new to everyone since we’ve experienced this in the past back in 2020 march the 25th. Events were postponed and  some stores closed while some were opened for grocery shopping,that's usually how things go during a lockdown. Teens, kids, toddlers and furthermore adults were back to online school & work using their devices at home or school devices.

After days it was friday which meant that everyone would get an update about the lockdown we were currently in, Considering it was announced that we were going to be in lockdown for the next 2 weeks meaning we would continue doing things we would normally do in a lockdown.  

After 2 months New Zealand was still in a lockdown, Auckland was moved to level 2 along with the other. Apparently a maximum of 10 people from two households could meet outdoors for a picnic, barbeque or a social gathering, not to mention school holidays were on for a period of 2 weeks as always. 

During my holiday I was blessed to see some of my relatives as I haven't had any contact with them in-person for 2 months. We celebrated a birthday together and made sure to stay safe afterwards. I also got to bake  delicious brownies with them which was a really nice experience.

On the 2nd week of school holidays I went on a ride with my brother along with his wife to the beach to look at the view and also see the attractive sunset go down, it was a really beautiful sunset to experience as the sunset was a yellow-ish orange colour. That’s what I have done in the holidays during lockdown. It was really entertaining to do these in the holidays with my relatives and hope to do them again!

Question: What have you done in the past 2 weeks of school holidays?

On Wednesday morning the 19th of may the yr 8’s got ready to go to somewhere special! That special place was Kauaeranga christian valley camp, everyone was excited visiting Kauaeranga, once everyone had got into the hall we talked about the things that are going to happen there. We got to have a look at the timetable, we then had our prayer before we left . Our 2 buses had now arrived and it was time to put our luggages and bags into the bus. Our luggages then safely got into the bus and it was time to go on the bus for a long ride which was about 1.5 hours away from Auckland. During the bus ride we arrived in Coromandel, I was amazed by the view there! There were a lot of mountains, farms, and much more. About 40 minutes later we finally arrived in Kauaeranga valley. Everyone hopped off the bus and got the luggages out. We then got to have a little snack since it was a pretty long ride and because we couldn't eat/drink on the bus, we got to explore the camp, there was a playground, a big hall with a basketball court and many more fun games, there were also a big field filled with activities that we were gonna do. After our little snack we went inside the dining room and sat on the floor because there were some people that we're here to introduce themselves. There was Zac who owned the company and many other more people that helped him continue the company. 

Once they introduced themselves everyone got to know what cabin they were in, when I got into my cabin I decided to change into something comfortable since we were gonna do an activity. Everyone then went into the hall ready for their game, this game was pretty tiring but it was fun, we then got to do another game this game had a mat what we were suppose to do was somebody had to go on the mat and everyone had to lie down and push the mat on the other side of the hall. After the games have finished everyone gets to have 20 minutes of free time to go on the trampoline, games upstairs of the hall. After 20 minutes of free time we got to have our first rotation, we had 2 separate teams , kauri a and kauri b, kauri a which was my team got to do paintball so we had to change into something that we don't mind getting paint on. Paintball was sort of hard since the ball wouldn't pop and it was kind of hard aiming for each other. After our paintball game we decided to practise our item since paintball wasn't easy for us. After our first rotation we got to have another 20 minutes of free time. It was now day time and it was time to practise our item for our concert night. It was then time for showers, after our shower we got to have a little free time for 5 minutes and then it was time for dinner our dinner was butter chicken and our dessert was brownies and ice cream, we then got ready into our pjs and got ready to either sleep or watch a movie, and that was the first day of camp!
