WPCA Tree Adventures Challenge!

Hi my name is Helene and I am a student at Wesley intermediate school. I am part of the awesome William pike challenge award group, and on Friday the 14th of June we went on our third outdoor activity!


It was a 45 minute drive to Woodhill forest were we gazed open mouthed looking 12 meters into the air at the incredible tree challenges. 

We had our safety briefing and then we got started. Lizzie, Adriana, Miss Davis, Zoe and I went to level 5, it was awesome, there was a Tarzan swing and the zip line at the end was super fun!


Look at these incredible pictures of us!

Student Toolkits 2019

Hi my name is Helene and I am in room 9 at Wesley intermediate school. The last couple of weeks Lizzie, Zoe and I have been planing to present at the student toolkits. Today some students from the ako hiko schools went to Hay Park school for student toolkits.  There was three sessions, the first session I went to learn about using genia.ly to make my own quiz and games. I learnt a lot and found it very interesting, I recommend creating your account and trying it out. The second session I learnt how to use kahoot, I created my own account and made a quiz. It's a really fun site and you could recommend it to your teachers to use for your class. For the last session Lizzie, Zoe and I presented, we shared our knoladge on making a movie on your Chromebooks

Getting Great at German WPCA passion project

Hi my name is Helene and I am a student at Wesley Intermediate, I am part of the William Pike Challenge Award.
I chose learning German as my passion project because I am going to Germany in July to visit my family. The first time I tried learning German I found it really hard because it is very different to English. Learning German is an important sill for me to learn because as I said I am going to Germany half way through the year. I hope to be able to speak fluent or nearly fluent German by the end of the year.
Can't wait to blog again. Please comment if you have any tips to learning a new language.
