Jaden



Hi my name is Jaden and im 9. I have a family of 5. I go to Meadowbank school. This year im turning 10. I like maths and I also love playing soccer with my friends like Elliot, Nick R and George.My favourite thing overall will probably have to be SOCCER!!! My idol soccer player is Lionel Messi. I love FIFA11 and the barclays premiere league. All the good teams are in the barclays premiere league. When i grow up i want to be a famous SOCCER PLAYER for Barcelona FC. If i could have a super power it would probably be running super sonic fast because i could snatch the ball off anyone in soccer.

On Monday the first day of EOTC week we went to the Orakei Marae house. It was really exciting because i had never been to the orakei marae house. The boys learnt the haka and the girls learnt the poi dance. The Haka was better because it was more entertaining then the poi dance. We also had to do the hungi to show respect to there cultre.

__Orienteering__
Tuesday the second day of EOTC week. This time we were doing orienteering. We had to go in groups so we couldnt get lost. It wasn't the best but it was still fun. There were some easy ones and hard ones that were clips. I liked working with my group because they knew were some were. One thing that i did'nt mention earlier that it was at waiatarua reserve. There was a awesome playground and a skateboard ramp. It was geting really crowded when i went on the skateboard ramp. It was the 3rd best.

__Tree Adeventures __
Wednesday third day of EOTC week. This one was the best because i had never been there before and it was really fun. I had to wait for a really long time before going of to any other courses. You could only go up to course 4 The best course was course 3.

__Wave Pools __
The final day of EOTC week! The wave pools was the 2nd best. The most exciting bit was going on the water slide. We found it quite hard to stay together but it was still fun. EOTC ROCKS!

Pandora's Box This is my

.My mask's colours are gold and silver which represents HOPE! For my extension I did a snake curl type of shape. I used gold ribbon, silver pipe cleaners, gold elastic and some jewels. I also painted around my eys with some white paint.

In the dance hope moves slow and has gentle movements. Hope crushes evil but we use a more gentle way of getting rid of them. We all do the dance together as a group.

I thought our dance was okay. It first started of with the narrators doing there dance. There were alot of characters on the dance. There was the main character Pandora, Prometheus, Epimetheus, The gods Zeus, Hephastos, Athena, Aphrodite and Hermes. Hope and sadness were also included in the dance. They come out of the box. I thought ours was more of a play then dance. Room 13's dance was really good.

I wanted to go with good matching colours like ice blue and white, christmas green and red, and storm yellow and purple. For the patterns I just started cutting random shapes. The artist that inspired was mattese.

On Monday 7th, November room 7 went to

We first got in to our groups when we got there and then we explored the blacksmith's forge. The blacksmith would get metal or a type of metal and then place it in the fiery forge and then take the metal out on to anvil and the blacksmith would bash the metal with a hammer into the shape of what the blacksmith wants e.g horseshoes.

After we had a look at the houses and the school. The manikins were sort of scary when we passed by the houses. We also went to the classroom were we learnt about olden days and nowadays technology of communication. In the olden days when they didn't have phones people used Morse code it was a series of dots and dashes and it was used to communicate through wires and then to the person. Then we looked at the cameras. There were different types of cameras. The earliest camera looked like a box and then continued and continued until there was a camera that took the photo and then the photo came out straight away. And then it evolved in to the cameras we have today.

Then we had a break and then we went on the train
