Our Adventure

 ¨Yay! Where finally starting!¨ everyone was Saying.  Pad, pad, went our shoes as we gently strolled up the first case of stairs.  Me and Esther started chatting about the last hike we went on. We began nearing the top, or so we thought.  We were coming  up to the statues of light. All of the year 6s were confused though, when we only stopped there  to look at it.  We  soon carried on.  Suddenly, there were all theese twists and turns! Where no stairs could go.  I slowly turned my head, to look at the view.  It was magnificent.  soon enough there were these odd down hills, then we went back up, and down and up And down. That was until we reached the top.  The look-out.  Personally, I don't call it the top.  We got a drink, and started down.

Me and Esther chatted a lot on the way down.  A couple of times we had to run to catch up.  then it was hard to slow down. ¨There are so many ferns.¨ I said. She agreed then quite soon, when we were almost down someone spotted a native, and rare Owl.  A More-pork.  ¨I've  Never seen one of theese before.¨ I said.  ¨It's pretty.¨ said Esther.  Soon enough we reached the bottom and had some morning tea.  

On the way back up we had a look in the hole in a rock. It was really dumpy around there.  When we started backup most people's legs got very achy as it was very steep.  We, sadly, didn't see the More-pork on the way back up and it felt like it would take us forever.  We did see a lot of Fantails though.  

We were going back down the steps and everyone was relieved that we were getting back to the cars.  As the view got Bigger Cornelia yelled out ¨ I can see the rice sheep Again!!!¨  We finally reached the cars again. That's where we got a drink again.  Happy to be finished the walk we headed back to school.

Crazy Days Back

Week 1

On the day school started I arrived, excited and ready for a new year! Mostly,  I was still pretty exhausted from the holidays.  Everyday in week 1 was crazy! On Monday, the first day back at school, we started our mandala art.  It lasted a while.  But it sure was fun.   

Week 2
On Monday, the first day of week 2021, we went for a walk to Hamanatua stream, since it was walk to our pepeha week.  On Wednesday we walked up Maungaroa.  It was pretty fun and we learnt a lot.  On Friday we did our first round of year 6 surfing, that was pretty fun but in bad conditions. But when that week ended I new exactly what I needed, shoes.

Week 3 
In week 3, I forgot what we did but I remember Surfing. That Friday we went surfing again, At Roberts road.  It was big, fun and dumpy.  When your out the back that is.  That day Klara and Esther got the style award, Tre got the best wave Award and I got the perseverance award.

Week 4
Its week 4 now, and we´ve had fun doing collaborative art.  On Monday we went to our school marae and on Wednesday we  had school swimming sports.  
They were both fun as!! We went surfing again this morning and it was awesome.  I can´t remember who got the awards but it was tiny.  Also I was on a new board. And  I/we just finished some more art called My Pepeha Art and it looks GREAT!
