Callaghans's Ridge

Yesterday we for a walk at Callaghans's Ridge.Rooms 1 and 8 came including Miss Kemp, Mrs Truman, also some parents came to supervise. We  all walk in one big group.

We went down on the 11/4/19 at 9:15am. We came back about 2:45 pm. The season at the time was Autumn. 

 

At the start of the track it started to rain. So it was a little bit slippery. There was also alot of mud.I slipped over two times beacuse there wa slots of roots sticking out.

 

We went down to learn new skills about outdoor activity. We had lots of fun learning new things; like what was  in the bush. there was lots of bird I saw tomtits,south island fantails and a kea! At one stage when we were walking I smelt goat or deer.

 

WE made our bivy's with tarpaulin and rope. We had turns caring the tarpaulin and the rope. Our team worked really well toghther. In my team was Lincon, Daniel, Hannah and Cailan.

 

 

 

 

 

Quick Write

WALT: use adjectives and similes (also other language fetures) to describe a setting clearly





The lighting cracked the sky into shattered pieces of glass. A weak smell of smoke crawled up my nose making me sneeze. The thunder pushed me under my skin, and my eyes  rolled deeper in my skull. My hair was wet and damp like a dog after a swim. The winds stole the front door and ran it over like a buffalo stampede. I hide my body deeper and deeper into the damp flour sacks. The sales of the mill itched the bolts loose.

Today we went down to the Karoro beach Watson creek by the Tasman Sea.Rooms 1 and 8 came including Miss Kemp, Mrs Glue and Mrs Maclean, also some parents came to supervise. We were all in groups. I was in a groups ith Lincon, Daniel, Hannah and Cailan.

We went down on the 3/4/19 at 11am. We came back about 12:30 pm. The season at the time was Autumn, this meant it was open fire season. We didn't need a pernit even though we had one.

We went down to learn new skills around the campfire or outdoor activity. We had lots of fun learning new things around the camp fire.

We went down to make a camfire. We were had to find tinder,kindling and bigger sticks. We lade then into a t-p shape. As soon as the fire was going we started to add bigger bits of wood to it. When the fire was nice and small with only embers we added our food. Our group deciced to cook spagetti baked potatoes and banana split. I bought the spagetti,untensils and plates/bowels. Lincon brought potates and the pan. Hannah brought the brown sugur and garlic butter. Daniel brought sour cream and chease. Cailen brought paper towels,tin foil and bananas.

The food we cooked was so good. When we do it again I would be more organized earler.
