2020 Student Summit Took A Twist!

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Today was Student Summit!

Student Summit is where a couple of groups from different schools

choose a website to share about with others.

There are a lot of different websites that you can choose from!

This year was the first ever digital Student Summit!

There are 4 sessions that are involved in the Student Summit!

It starts from 9:40 and then goes to 12:30.

You can choose to present or attend the presentation.

The sessions are each a half-hour long and contain one presentation.

Some of the ones I attended were ;

YMS How to use Prezi

YMS How to use Easel.ly easily

Here are some of my work!

^ This Is Prezi! ^

Rimu Arthur's Pass Camp Series - 1

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Last week, Rimu went to Camp!

We went all the way up to a place called Arthur's Pass.

You might not have heard of it before but it is a really beautiful place to go on a holiday!

Arthur's Pass is located inside of a valley about 4 1/2 hours away from Yaldhurst.

For those of you who don't quite know what a valley is, it's the place inbetween two or more mountains that meet near the bottom.

Arthur's Pass is a little bit of a difficult drive to get to, but it's really worth it!

There are a lot of beautiful scenes and plenty of trails to walk along!

The first place that we stopped was at a place called Castle Hill.

It's lucky that we did because a lot of the class was starting to get hungry.

It was covered in a blank sheet of snow about an inch thick.

(1 inch is equivalent to 2.54cm.)

We then kept driving for a bit longer then we had finally arrived at Arthur's Pass!

I will be sharing more of the Camp Adventures soon!

Bye for now!

A Lesson About Resilience

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

This week at YMS, we learnt about something called Resilience!

Resilience is a funny kinda thing.

Think of it as learning from a previous experience.

If you were to take a spring and stretch it,

it would bounce back right?

But it would never be the same because

you stretched it out, it became longer.

Here is a short video to explain it a little bit better.

Video by : 

First to Draw Limited

Resilience is basically about keep trying and trying.
If you fall off your bike 5 times,
How many times do you get back up again?
5! Because you kept trying over and over again!

There is a famous quote about Resilience.
"I Can Be Changed By What Happens To Me, But I Refuse To Be Reduced By It." - Maya Angelou
It is partly related to having a growth mindset.
To not have one view of failure, but to adapt from it.

For me, Resilience is going just fine, as it should be.
I haven't made another error on anything since last time!
I'm able to bounce back and carry on. Have you got any Resilience?
Let me know!

James Clear

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

This week at YMS, we were learning about James Clear!

James Clear is a man who our teacher told us about.

He is an author who wrote several books about success.

He also has a website with four easy tips for success.

The four tips were ;

Start Incredibly Small

How To Get Started In Less Than 2 Minutes

Improve By 1% Everyday

Use The Seinfeld Strategy - Don't Break The Chain

I'm going to talk about the Seinfeld Strategy.

James Clear has an entire story for each of those habits,

so I've just shortened one down for you guys.

In order for that to work, you would need
some Encouragement,
and Determination.

Do you think you could do some of those habits?

Our Leaderships in Rimu!

Hello fellow Bloggers!

I'm back with another exciting post from YMS Rimu Class!

Today's Blog Post is going to be about our Leaderships!

All of the year 7/8's  have to apply for a role for the year.

(Year 7's at least 1 role, 8's at least 2 roles.) You can choose as many as you want,

but you always have to take initiative and be there when things go wrong.

Which would mean you would sometimes have to volunteer some of your breaks.

There are many roles to choose from and big responsibility to give them.

So just remember, if you want a role you must always be ready for what it takes.

If you have any questions about any of the leadership,
please comment them down below.
I'm always looking forward to your comments!
Blog you later!
