Camp MERC Certificate.


Reflection
At camp MERC we did lots of activities. For example, Sailing, Giants Ladder, Abseiling etc. I am proud of the Giants Ladder, because I was really scared when I got to the middle part, but I kept going and I acctually made it to the top! I think the funnest activitie for me to do was sailing, cause we got to go in the water, and I have never been sailing before.

Constructing Shapes.


Reflection
We were learning to construct shapes. I think the trickiest shape to make was the five-sided shape with one right angle and one pair of parallel sides. The easiest shape to make was the four-sided shape with two pairs of parallel sides, for equal sides and no right angles. I think we did really good on this task.
