Week 7 Camp Kitawa

 This slide is a recount of my time at Camp Kaitawa at which I climbed up mountains, went through dark caves, went kayaking and most importantly had a yummy dinner every night.

Purakau day

It was five minutes after the bell rang when Koka Rozie said to go into our class, which happened to be moana two. Once we got there Koka Rozie told us all to get into a circle so we could make a list of advantages of growing your own food. The first few things that got on the list were obviously things like low expense and you feel proud when they are finished growing, but once all those were gone we had to start thinking and towards the end, we got good ones like no packaging and better for health. 

After we had finished making the list we moved into action. What we were going to do was we were going to clean out all the class gardens so we could harvest all the plants and make a plan for them. But first we went to the enviro shed to get rakes, shovels and gardening supplies.

After we had finally gotten all the supplies we moved onto the gardening. It was hard work but finally by brain break I think we had made progress.

Now that it was past brain break a person named Kauri was going to come in to talk to us. At first she talked to us about boats and teamwork and stuff but finally we moved onto some fun. What we did was she gave out some kind of map which we had to find a whole bunch of things on it, but before I knew it, it was morning tea.                                                                                                                                                            Once morning tea was over we continued to do gardening and same with after lunch and once the bell rung at the end of the day we could feel like we had accomplished something because a woce gint garden was empty.  

Cooks cove walk

 Bang! That was the sound of me and all the other people in the car opening the door. After a forty five minute drive we had finally arrived at Cooks Cove. After I gotten out of the car, my driver, which happened to be my mum, asked me to put on sunscreen. After I had finished putting on my sunscreen me and all my fellow students got called in front of our teachers were we would be organized into groups  

Once we were organised into lines we started heading up the mountain but after less then two minutes of trudging, we had to stop because other people were coming down from the walk. We continued heading up the mountain, then Louie asked me if he could go in front but I said no.  Eventually, after a little more truging, we got to the Beacon of light; a cool statue. Then once the five minute break was over we carried on going up a pasture, that happened to be full of bristles and hollow trees. That was also when I let Louie in front of me!!! Finally after what must of been an hour, we made it to the look out where, as I remember, we had a two minute break and a picture then we carried on walking. By then our group's little rotation was in full swing. The rotation worked that every ten minutes or on the next stop, we had the next person in the group  go to the front to lead. After we left the look out we had to walk down what felt like one thousand stairs. Then, all of sudden  we all  a bird;  in fact it was a native owl, what I wanted to see was it turning it's head in a circle and guess what? I saw it! After that the walk was pretty dull, well, except for when we went to the hole in the wall. After that we headed back to the car ready to go back to school. Wouldn't you know it,  when we finally got to the car our fuel tank was sitting on empty!!
