Mikonui flat

What an adventure, Mikonui flat and awesome experience all of my class.

I had a great time with all my class and I will never forget the fun and funny moments doing everything like cooking with my group we had a great dinner we had pasta and dessert we lots marshmallow, chocolate and biscuits, later we did lots of laughable riddles got most of them easy and some really hard to get but they were so simple.

Afterwards, the one part of the tramp I was mostly worried was the "solo" I was so scared it but once I sat down by myself I had a look around and saw all the light shining, I turn off my light and looked around for awhile and listening to the loud sound of frogs 

Overall the most rememberable moments was jumping off the jumping rock into ice cold water and the river crossing best moments of my life and the tramping trip

THE DAY HAS COME SKIING AT TEMPLE BASIN

I got to school everybody was ready to go, we go set into our cars I so looking forward to the walk up to temple basin, I couldn't wait to see what the skiing was like because I had never been skiing there before.

Once we got up to the ski field the snow was really heavy and I wasn't used to it so I fell over so many time, but it was fun falling overall I have so many memories that I will never forget like have so much fun with all of my class and haveing a snowball fight. One of my goals was to get to the top the first time I tried to get it I fell over a rock and went rolling down the hill it was so funny and the second time I actually did it I was so proud of myself.

I feel so lucky to get this experience and to spend time with my class

Sea Kayaking

Sea Kayaking To Bain Bay 

One of the best two days of my life and the experience was yesterday and how much fun I had it was really awesome.

When we were driving to Mitchells I didn't know what to think, half of the class was doing rafting and the other was doing sea kayaking both trips sounded awesome and what fun it was, we got to meet all the instructors were really different and they had a cool thing about them their name were: Rae(Snazzy)(he had that look like he was Jack Black) James (Squirrel) Arial (Oreo) Henry (Chicken)

I was kayaking there in a double with my friend Georgia, and of course, we were the first  to get stuck in between some lake weed and a tree it was real fun kayaking with her

When we got there we put up the tent really fast and the boy didn't even have the poles in.

It was lots of fun being there with all of those people and have lots of good times
