Damp Camp

Two weeks ago we went on camp this inspired our writing task this week, witch was to write about how we incorporated the 6C's during our camp activities.

The 6C's are 

Collaboration,Creativity,Communication,Critical Thinking,Character,Global Citizenship

Here is what I wrote.

On the 13th of September 2021 the Kaupeka hub headed to YMCA Wainui camp to learn and challenge ourselves during activities. We did this because it's part of outdoor education and to strengthen our bond with other classmates. Most of the time the weather was wet but this didn’t make the activities any less fun. During the day from most of Monday to Thursday we were in our activity groups. Mine was called the dominators and it consisted of 11 people such as Grace, Kate, Mostyn, ET, Lucas, Max F, Blake, Izzy, Dakota and Molly.

My favorite activity was high ropes because it was fun and challenging. During this activity I showed character when I couldn’t get from the rock wall up to the spinning handlebars. However I managed to hook my leg over and pull myself over the wooden bar onto the next part of the challenge thanks to all my team's encouragement.

I showed creativity during self lead school activity because I came up with a way we could get the ball to go slower and keep it controlled this resulted to us getting a time of more than 40 seconds.

When we got to camp we did a small rotation of team building activities. During this we showed collaboration  mainly in land skiing when we had to work together to follow a leader. Our strategy was to go left right with the person at the front calling the movements.

I showed communication when we did search and rescue. This activity involved finding Bob and all his belongings. We completed this using walkie talkies and discussed where we were at all times. At the end we all came together in the chapel to search for our last item, the shoe. We ended up completing this as a team.

I didn’t get the chance to show critical thinking or global citizenship. But I will show all of these 6 c’s in my day to day life when I’m faced with challenges and other opportunities to display them.

whitch one of the 6C's do you need help with?
