Lino Prints

 In visual arts we made lino print art. We had to carve our design onto a piece of lino and then roll ink onto it and press it on paper. My art is Thor's Mjolnir and storm breaker.

Lake Daniell Recount🚶

 Lake Daniell Recount

On Wednesday the 9th of september Room 8 went on the Lake Daniell tramp for a William Pike Challenge. A few days before the tramp we had to make a dlo explaining what hypothermia is so we knew how not to get it while tramping.

We had to travel in car groups all the way from Karoro school to the start of the Lake Daniell track which is in Lewis Pass. My car group was Tyler, Cooper, Flynn and Flynn’s dad. 

There were 10 parents tramping through the beech forest with us. It took us about 2 hours and 50 minutes to get to the Kohanga Atawhai-Manson Nicholls hut. When we got to the lake we ate our lunch and checked out the new hut. 

After that we got ready for the walk back to our cars.

I really enjoyed the walk back because we “accidently” had a massive moss fight by throwing moss at each other but we forgot about the Leave No Trace rule so there was heaps of moss everywhere but at least it was fun. On the way back there was lots of uphill parts so my legs got very sore and I think my classmates also got really sore legs. I was really surprised when I got so hot I had to take off my jacket and thermals. I was surprised because I didn't expect to get hot since it was only spring and we were tramping in the Southern Alps.

Once we got back to our cars we drove back to school. Overall I really enjoyed the tramp because we didn't have to do any school work and we don't usually go tramping.
