What is Labour day

 What is Labour day?

The first Labour Day was celebrated on the 28th of October 1890, to honour the struggle to gain an eight hour day.  

New Zealander workers were amongst the first in the world to gain the right to an eight hour day.

Camp 2021

 - Success When we were at Camp the first activity my group did was shelter building. It was really fun, we had to climb up a hill and build a shelter on the hill by only using the things around us.  We had to use sticks, pine needles, pine cones, and logs.  Since we were on a hill it wouldn't stand up so we leaned it against a tree.  Our shelter looked really cool and it was even waterproof, because the instructor poured water on it and it barely leaked on us.  Our group vs another group and my group won, our shelter was the best!

- Engaged

At camp I felt involved, because I felt I did a fair amount in all the activities, my favourite activities were high ropes, shelter building and orienteering.  They were very fun, I really enjoyed orienteering. I felt very engaged in it because I helped write down all the different signs and each sign that we found was worth a certain amount of points, and if I lost it then we would have lost.

It was one of my favorite activities because I made a new friend and we got to go on a big adventure together.

- Empathy

I showed empathy by encouraging my group in high ropes, I encouraged them to keep going and not give up, and try to step a bit out of their comfort zone, I also showed empathy by helping and supporting my friend when she felt homesick.  

- Belonging 

I felt like I belonged at camp because I really enjoyed myself and I had fun with my friends, and I tried new things that I didn't know I could do or I would even enjoy.

When you belong you feel happy and you can have fun.  I’m really glad I went to camp. I think it was a great experience and we tried lots of new and great things that will come in handy. For example if we got lost in the woods or a forest and we had to build a shelter for the night or a fire.

Camp was really fun!
