Horse Camp Photos

Thank you Anne for being the photographer at many of our school events.

Photos are an excellent way to evaluate the learning objectives  and the outcomes of any activity.

What did we want the students to learn at Horse Camp?

1.  Social skills of getting along together, sharing, helping and compromising.  When we are tired (as we were at Horse Camp) it is so much harder to manage our social behaviours.  
2. Personal behaviours around challenging oneself, resilience, setting goals and coping with disappointment. Eating what we are given. Entertaining ourselves. 
3. Gross motor skills of getting on and off a horse, making our way along the very slippery stream bottom, swimming in a water hole and climbing up and down a track avoiding blackberry.
4. Following instructions not only from our school teacher but other adults. Learning to accept authority when it is appropriate and when appropriate showing leadership. 
5. Managing our property and possessions and being organised. 
6. Sharing the joyful moments with our friends, supporting our friends that might need support. 
7. Learning to take some responsibility for our safety.

As you view the photos please evaluate the horse camp with the above 7 bullet points and give us a rating for each in the comments. Use the photos as evidence and proof.
