Cooks Cove

Grumbling and groaning walking up the steps of the first steep hill. It was a Thursday morning. YELLING out get to the left get to the left hurt my ears. Walking up in a single file line. Cooks Cove has the most beautiful view of Tolga Bay once you get to the top of the first hill. This was a baby walk compared to camp so I don't know if I will survive! Koka Ngaire and Koka Rosie walked up the hill with a few other parents.

We went by car to the walk. I had done the walk once but I ran up it. There is a big rock that is called the Hole in the Wall. We got to take pictures with a picture frame that was built in the ground. I had an amazing time walking up and down Cooks Cove.

I absolutely hated the stairs because they were all different sizes. At the end of the walk I was super thirsty because I finished my water coming back over the hill. I would much rather be getting lifted over the hill. With the overall experience I will do the walk again.

I just wanted to be lying in my bed with a pool of water thrown over me. My feet were boiling hot, I had to take my shoes off. My feet looked like big fat red tomato's. If I did something differently I would definitely not tie my shoes as tight. I could get a bit fitter next time so I could walk a bit faster.

Kapa Haka

Wheels on the bus goes round and round all day long. WBS finally got to the turanganui cultural festival. Here are three reasons why you should do Kapa Haka.
1. Kapa Haka is fun and if you like to sing and dance this is right for you
2. You can learn new maori words
3.  You can practice singing and dancing.
You should do Kapa Haka because you can learn more skills and be confident with singing and dancing.

Leighton house

                                                            Leighton house

I was so excited to see Leighton house. Loudly our whole class walked into Leighton house. I wondered who the oldest person would be. The oldest person who I saw was 99. Her name was Konny. We played chinese checkers with a lady. She won. I wondered if Konny would stay alive to make her 100th birthday. I liked Konny. The best person who I meet was Konny. She was probably the kindest. I meet a lady called Dolly and she was deaf. She came from a different country. It was sadly time to go. But before we went we sang our school song. I think the old people enjoyed having us visit and I enjoyed visiting them too. 

Te Poho o Rawiri Marae.

Te Poho o Rawiri Marae.
Run run as fast as you can you can't catch me i'm Charlotte. Before we got welcomed into the marae we had to wait for everyone to get to the Marae. At the marae I went boing boom bam on the skipping rope. WBS got welcomed onto Te Poho o Rawiri Marae. We had to get  in lines I was in the second row. The lady sounded like a fantastic bird chirping. We got to set our beds up we were by the end. I slept with Te Atawhai. The delicious dinner was nachos, after nachos we got a lemonade ice block.
We had to get ready for bed so we did that. We got to talk for a long time. Koka Ngaire read gangsta granny to as and then we went to bed. Good night.
