"Our trip to travis wetland"

Travis wetland
         



      On Rapare 22 Here-Turi-koka, the tuakana went via To Travis wetlands we were met by an C.C.C environmental educator.

What we learnt…

We learnt about the birds and their habitat and what the Wetlands mean to the birds and all the animals that live there. We also learnt about the bugs that live there like the water boatmen,backswimmer,Leech,water flea. Also what the wetland is to them. These are the things that the wetlands are to them Sieve because  I sieve cleans the water and it's like a filter. And a nest because the animals there treat the Wetlands like a home just like birds treat nest. Also a sponge because the sun soaks all the water up and a sponge soaks up water just like the sun does to water. Also an airport because that's where birds come to land and takeoff. Last but not least breakfast and bed because that's where they eat and where they sleep.

What I thought about it…

I thought that was to learn about things that we didn't know and  what we have to do to fix our wetland and environment. I would be really happy to go back and visit another time.

                            waipara camp
                       
         On Wednesday I woke up happy as well as
        excited  to go. Although only because it was         camp. Also because I could just not wait to             be  in a 20 bed cabin. I was in there with six           people including myself and them they weir
      Alexa,Mailli,kymaira,Naquita,Miriam,and I.
       We arrived at school and it was sunny and we
               had to be there by 8:15am. We had to put all           the bags in the hall ready to go. We got on the         bus and then mum called the roll yep                        everyone here so we left. When we arrived              we got off and unloaded the bags. After that            we had lunch. Then after that we lined up                ready for the first rotation.

       We had bridge building first it so fun in fact it         was one of my favourite. Our leader Hamash
       took us to our next rotation archie it was so             hot I thought I was going to melt like a                   snowman in boiling water. Keira Miriam and         I  weir the 3rd group up and when we went up
       we had a great big laugh because no one hit           the target. All of us got one bow on the target
       I was the last on to use all my bows everyone 
        was hurrying me and. After that it was lunch
       then we had raft building witch was so funny.
      Next rotation was low ropes I got hurt                    and grazed my leg it felt like a bee sting.
      Then it was time for dinner we had steak,and          potato. It was so good it tasted like cottage pie

      cheese cake the tip of my tongue felt like                 water.       

cross country

                      Cross Country

On Monday the 13 Haratua it was cross-country. I felt so nervous. They called the Year 5-6 group up. I was so scared but inside I knew I was going to make myself proud by completing it, even if I came last . My heart was pounding as loud as a helicopter.

Mr. Redman called 3... 2... 1 go. As I ran I remembered what Mailli told me, think of a song and don't give up. I listened to my chosen song in my head and it worked pretty good, but my heart kept pounding and pounding. I passed the a massive, powerful cheering crowd. They cheered me on, I felt so important and special. My breath was so loud. I passed the finish line and I was so puffed.

It was time for the results and I came in 12th place. I was so proud of myself. I felt empowered, he poho kereru ahau.. The first thing I said afterwards was I need a water. I went to class and got a bottle of water felt much better. I went to support my friends and then it was the end of the day. Finally time for home.
