The Redwoods
Our final trip as well as our BIG DAY OUT was a great success. There was a lot of resilience required as we made our way up and down the hills, making our way to the shady redwood forest.
We had been told of the legend of Rongokako - the sleeping giant and how Te Mata peak came to be formed.
There was an expedition to to the top by some intrepid trampers who had to all write an application to Mrs Dingle to say why they would like to do it.
For the activities the teachers took different activities. Mrs Pacheco did some drawing, Mr Hodgetts went for a walk and looked at the fossils along the way and Mrs Makene made bridges and shelters.
The weather was perfect and it was nice and cool playing in amongst the trees- we even saw some tuis and piwakawaka.
Thanks again to the parents who took transport and helped witth supervision - we can't do these things without you.
