Duffy assembly

 PBS had a Duffy assembly about Duffy books

Today we had Marc from Duffy come and talk to us about the importance of reading and how reading can make a big impact on your life. Although Marc had some challenges in his life he used reading as a tool to get through the hard times. Marc believes that there is only CANs and not CAN’Ts.

I found this activity interesting because mark tells about his live

Key Competencies

LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.

Before we went to camp our challenge was to think about when we might use the Key Competencies as we faced the challenges. When we came back from camp we looked at this and compared how we thought we would use the Key Competencies and how we actually used them.

I found this activity fun because it was my first camp

High beam

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

I was feeling scared to go up the high beam. My legs were shaking and my heart was beating. I put my leg on the ladder. I was sweating tearsdrop, at least I think it was sweat and not tears but I was so scared but I didn’t care. Each step I climbed on the ladder was faster than the one before, like I was the flash.


My team encouraged me which made me feel confident and I knew I could keep climbing up. I got to the top and feel like I'm at the sky tower. I took one step each time and ran to hug the pole like it was my best friend. Then I had to turn around and go to the middle and dance. I was scared and excited at the same time.


I thought I had conquered the high beam then realised I had to go down. Can I do this? Can I lean back and trust the rope holders? I leant back and I went down like mary poppins and surprisingly I wasn't scared at all. Excitement flashed through me as soon as I touched the ground.


I had done it! I had beaten the high beam. I have achieved confidence to go on the high beam.
