Camp - 13th - 14th March 2013

Nga Ringa Awhina Camp

Day 1

We arrived at school and set up our tents.
We walked down to Mangonui boardwalk and went fishing. We also had our lunch there. It was a very hot day but we were very successful and a lot of fish were caught.
After walking back up to school we had some free time where we got to play on the playground and the bouncy castle.
At 1:30 we headed off to Coca-Cola Lake where we got to have a beautiful swim in the cool water. We used nets to catch some tiny fish in the lake and played with the sand toys  too. For afternoon tea at the lake we had fruit and biscuits.
We returned back to our camp at school at about 4 o'clock.
At 5:30 we had hamburgers for dinner and fruit salad and ice cream for pudding. We all got dressed in our pyjamas, had "Jump Jam in our Jarmies', did some reading in our tents and then hopped into bed to go to sleep.

Day 2
In the morning when we got up we made our breakfast (toast, milo and weetbix), made our lunch and morning tea. We packed our bags and got ready for our bush walk.
At 9 o'clock the bus arrived and took us to the Kerikeri Stone Store reserve. We had morning tea there and meet up with Mr Sedcole. We got into our groups and then set off for our walk along the Kerikeri River Track to the Rainbow Falls. Along the way we did a picture scavenger hunt. It was a beautiful walk and many of us got to see Tui, Rosellas, Wood piegon, Fantail, Kauri, Totora and Silver Fern.
At the end of the walk we saw the Rainbow Falls and went and sat down for lunch. We returned to school on the bus, packed up our tents and bags and went for a swim in the pool before heading home.
