Lake Kaitawa Camp!!!

So in week 7 ALL of the year 6s got to go to our school camp at Lake Kaitawa and we went on lots of walks that took my breath away. They were all hard but every time we got to the top, the view made  everything better. The food, was fantabulous! I had the best time and made lots of new friends and memories. To all of the year 5s you are going have the bomb. com at camp Kaitawa. Hope you enjoy!!!

 

Purako Day!!!

 Hello yesterday we as a school had a day off leaning and a day in the gardens. I was super excited for this day. When I first found out I was at enviro group, (which is basically a group that works in the gardens.) Koka jodie said that each class would have the day to work or improve their airer. My class airer is the class gardens aka the vegetable garden.  Koka Ngaire said that we were going to dige up the kumara and make sines that would point to the other class's airers. Like the orchard,compost,bee hives,shade house and the medicine garden.

I came to school at 12.30 because I was at inter school cricket so I didn't have the best of ideas on what to do. So I got to business. I asked Ella Rio and Charlotte A if I could be in there group to paint and design the medicine sign. They were very nice and let me in their group. We started to paint and I was so grateful I could be doing it.

So I was so happy that could be stuck in a the work and do my part in the class garden. I loved painting and designing the sign with my friends. Hopefully me and my school have done enough to get green gold for our school:/             

Going to Cooks Cove

Mum dad I'm going to be late for the cooks cove walk! Please please can I get a lift in the car i'm going to be late. No my mum said, bike. When I got to school I could feel and HEAR my heart betting. THUMP Thump thump... But guess what my clock was an hour early and I was half an hour early for the walk. I was so mad at myself. The bell finally went for as to go.  We were going to go on the walk so we could practise for year six 6.  Then jumped in the car and drove to Tolaga Bay. And yes this was on Thursday of the earthquake.

When we got there I felt a little car sick but once we started walking and smelling the natcher I was good to go.  The first hill we climbed was very steep and I was getting extremely hot.  Luckily Koka Ngaire said that we  could stop to look at the beacon of light. I was happy to be doing this walk . When we got to the bottom of the hill we ate and started to go back up. Then Finns mum saw morepork. I'll put a photo of it at the end. 

So over all I really enjoyed the walk and it was great practise for  year 6 camp next week, yay. I recommended the walk  but definitely try to do it on a cloudy day so you don't get heat stroke. My walking  group was Rori and Hunter, Stefan was our Adult and he was funny and we all just talked and walked.  The walk was a good exercise I got to see the Hole in a wall and Cooks Cove our destination.
