Last week we had our Room 3 overnight camp. On Friday we visited Potaka Station to get some 'hands on' farming experience. It was so much fun herding the sheep into pens, and picking up lambs to get them ready for docking. Although some of us slid in the mud and poo, it was all worth it!
On Friday, we travelled to the Manawatu Gorge to do the Tawa Loop Track. This is quite a new track that takes you up to the slip lookout. We were amazed how the hill has huge terraces cut into it to prevent erosion. We also got a fantastic view of the river below. Although it was an effort climbing uphill for 40 minutes, we all agreed it was worth it!
Staying overnight at school was lots of fun too. We loved playing team-building games in the hall, especially swiss ball tag. Who would have thought staying late at school could be so fun?
THE BUSH WALK WAS FANTASTICE
ReplyDeleteWow! What an exciting camp you had Room 3! I really enjoyed looking at the photos. Potaka Station looks like an exciting place to visit. I bet the farmers were pleased you were able to help them with the docking. 40 minutes uphill sounds hard but I bet the view at the top was worth it! Thanks for teaching my class how to play Swiss Ball Tag - what an awesome game!
