Camp Review 2013 Oliver T

Purpose: Share my opinion about camp

Audience: People who are going to camp Motutapu

Camp Motutapu 2013 was a great experience. Motutapu challenge I recommend to kids

that don’t mind getting wet and muddy. I give it a 3 out of 5 because I like getting dirty and wet but I give it a three because I got hurt.

Orienteering I recommend this to kids who are fast runners and when they see something they immediately know where it is it. I give it a 5 out of 5 because it was sort of like the amazing race.

Archery I recommend this to people who do hunting because it involves good aim. I give it a 3 out of 5 because I like shooting targets but it can get a bit boring after a while. Eric said "This was my first time and I enjoyed it so much!"

Abseiling I recommend this to people who aren’t afraid of heights because you basically fall of a tall tower with a rope attached to you. I give it a ⅘ because it was fun when you get lowered down but it was quite scary.   

Rock climbing I recommend this to strong people because the walls have lot of curves in them that you have to pull yourself over. I give it a ⅗ because they only had two walls open and I only got to go on one because you had to wait so long.

High ropes I recommend this for kids again who aren’t scared of heights because everything you do is so high up off the ground. I give 5/5 because it is really challenging to balance yourself out on the plank or the wire.

Gun walk I recommend this to people who aren’t scared of the dark and cannot be scared very easily because people can jump out and scare you. I give it a 5/5 because it was fun discovering new thing in the tunnels.

Survivor challenge I recommend this to people who are strong and can figure out puzzles easily because there are somethings you need to help pull your team mates over and there are a lot of puzzles. I give it a ⅘ because it was challenging but we didn't get enough time to finish the course.

Confidence course I recommend this to people who can use teamwork really well because at every station of the course you need to use teamwork to complete them. I give it a ⅖ because I didn't enjoy the challenges but it was alright.

My overall review of camp Motutapu 40/50 because it had it ups and downs but overall it was a really great experience.

Oliver-Description Thomas Edison

He recreated the light bulb and made the phonograph and a motion picture camera He was a leader because he lead the evolution of the light bulbs. Thomas Edison was born in Port Huron Michigan Ohio. Thomas edison faced a lot of challenges. One of Thomas Edison achievements was make the storage battery. His mother was one of the people who influenced him.He had a dream that there will be lamps that run on electricity.

Thomas Edison was born in Port Huron Michigan Ohio in 1847.

He went to a public school for three months he left because when the teacher was talking he mind just wander off like he already knew what he was going to to do with his life and then he was homeschooled by his mum. One person who influenced him was his mum as a kid he sold candy and newspaper and then when he was 16 he became a telegraph operator and he did this for five years.

Thomas Edison had to face a lot of Challenges he faced during his time one of them was trying to make the more better. Also he had to overcome his learning disability and have a hearing problem.

He made the light bulb more safe on of his strengths is science and he achieved making the storage battery and originated the concept of electric power generation and made the sound microphone.

one person who influenced him was his mother named nancy because she tutored him when he drop out of school and man Henry woodward and another guy called Moses .G. Farmer also influence by a book called Age of reason.  

where to make a lamp that would run with electricity and the the world would run electricity.

If Thomas Edison had not made the light bulb more safe now peoples houses would be burning down and the would be no such thing as the movies and telephone or music players. So what Thomas Edison has done changed the world evaluation. So next time you think of tv or the movies just remember the one that started it off was Thomas Edison.

Writing Report-Oliver Leadership

You don’t have to be a prime minster to be a leader.  You could be a normal person and some ask to spare some blood or donate a kidney. you also be a policeman and you would still be a leader so how could you be a leader? There are many different qualities that you need to have be a leader. There are many examples of great leaders in history. We need leaders because if we didn’t the world would be chaos. There have also been some leaders in history who haven’t helped the world.

A leader is a social influence.  There are many qualities leaders have to use to be an awesome leader. They have to show honesty, responsibly, confidence, enthusiasm, reliability, patience, determination, loyalty and courage.  Ghandi showed  courage, loyalty and determination when he saved India from the British when they were trying to take over it.  He went on a hunger strike to make his point.  He led protests over salt taxes. These are the qualities you need to have if you want to  be an awesome leader.

A great leader is someone who stands up for what's they think is right like Rosa Parks. She is a leader because the bus driver told her to give up her seat because the section where the white people sit was full.  She refused to give up her seat and she got arrested. After that she worked with the civil rights leaders to stop racial segregation.  So that’s why she was a leader because she stood up for what she believed in and that’s what good leader should do.

We need leaders because if we didn’t have leaders there  would be  no rules.  If there were no rule the world would be chaos and life would have no meaning. No-one would know what to do and everyone would just be bad. There would be no-one to guide us and set us goals. We would just stay home and watch tv and people would be allowed to rob you and they wouldn’t go to prison because there would be no-one to give them fines. There would be no job  and  the world would be at war. Racism will carry on there will be no consequences AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED LEADERS!!!!!!    

Some leaders aren’t very nice. I like to call these leaders infamous leaders for example Adolf

Hitler. He was an infamous leader.He hated Jews because when his Grandmother was in hospital and very sick the doctor was a Jew and he said he could not save her.  He became  determined to kill lots of Jewish people because of this so he put them in concentration camps.  So a lot of people don’t like him thats why he is infamous.

Leaders are people who are a social influence and teach others to be good people.  Rosa Parks is a great example of this because she stood up for herself because no one else would.  If we didn’t have leaders the world would be chaos.  No one would have any meaning but it is important to pick leaders who are are not racist and don’t want to kill other people and aren’t mean.
