Lake Daniells Day Tramp | WPCA

On wednesday the 12th of June room one and room eight went on the Lake Daniells tramp.

When we got to school in the morning we checked if we had all the gear we needed once we had
done we left school at about 8:45. 

The drive to Lake Daniells was about an hour and a half. When we got we did our number callouts
and then we started walking down the track. The start of the track was easy until we got to the uphill
parts. When we arrived at the lake we sat down to eat some lunch and rest.

On the way back me, Sam, Lincoln, Cullam and Tlyer carried big logs for about 4km so
we could throw them off the bridge into the water for our tribal stick ceremony. After that we
walked back to the carpark and drove back to school. We got back the time was abouy 6:00.

Marae Visit | WPCA

This week room one and room eight stayed the night at the Arahura Marae.

When we arrived we walked to the gates and waited for a few minutes to be let in. when we got let in the gates the tangata whenua started calling us to the front of the marae. after that we took off our shoes and sat down inside and then sung some waiata and we also gave them our gift.

After that we went back out to the cars to grab our bags and put them in the place where we were going to sleep. Then we learnt about the stories and history of the carvings that were in the marae.

A few hours later we got the options of 2 activitys I picked carving and rippa rugby. The next day we walked to the beach for about an hour to make sand sculptures of the characters from the story we were told before we left. Then we packed up our stuff and left to do the mananui tramline walk.  

Callaghans Ridge Tramp | WPCA

This term 11.4.19  room 1 and room 8 went to Callegens Ridge for a all day walk.

Mrs Kemp gave us a scavenger hunt to do in our groups while walking. The people in my group were Callan and Xavier and we found everything in the scavenger hunt.

When it was lunch time before we could eat we had to build a bivouac to shelter us while eating.

Then we had to pack up our bivouac and start walking again. There was a lot of puddles and roots on the track so we had to make sure we didn’t fall over.

After that we had to walk downhill alot which hurt my knees. Then we got to a flat easy part next to the river.But that part also had a lot of muddy puddle to avoid. After that we reached the bridge and a few minutes later we reached the end of the track.

Beach Cookout

Today Ruma tahi and Ruma waru went to the beach for a beach cookout at Watson creek in Karoro. My group made steak sandwiches and pancakes. The people in my group are Zac, Nevey and Mackenzie. We also had Mrs Glue with us.

We had to build a campfire with wood we found on the beach. Once we had built our fire we had to prepare our food and light the fire. We had to wait a while for the wood to burn into hot embers so we could cook on it.

When we cooked our steak we had to put some oil in the frying pan and then put the steak in and on the fire. When the steak was cooked we put it in some bread and started eating it. After that we started to make our pancakes.

When we cooked them we had no normal butter so we had to use some garlic butter. We put them on they frying pan and they started to stick to the pan so we had to scrape them off. But they still tasted good.

Then we cleaned our pans and and put out our fires and packed up and walked back to school.
