Whareroa

Farm Trip

On Friday the 17th June 2016, Room 18 and Room 6 went to Whareroa Farm. Have you been on a Farm before ? Well I have, before school started everyone could not wait to go to the Farm I was excited lots of us brang our Gumboots I did.

First we ran down to the bus stop at 9:00am we left on the bus we arrived at 9:15am at the Farm. The first thing we did when we got to the Farm was we sat in this room that had maps and things in it, then a lady called Jan was talking to us about the Farm and she was holding an axe in her hands that's what lots of people thought was scary.

Next my group that was called the A group we went up the hill to have a look at the catchment. Next we went to do the water check down by the water, me and my partner caught 5 bugs that live in the stream, we found a dobsonfly they are a water bug that we found under a rock.

Now it was time for lunch group A and B were the first groups to turn up for lunch then group C and D got there after lunch we had a play I sat on the fence and talk to Flynn.

Now it was time to go and have and look at the weta house,  we had walk down a stream Kieran was giving Flynn a piggyback and they fell into the stream and Flynn got soaked, Kieran only got a little bit west. Next we had a look at a dead cat that was caught in a trap, there was lots of fungus.

Now it was time for for Orienteering first or group did 6 of the letters there was a little stream we had to cross. Next up when we were in the hill we dived down a bank to get a letter. Our group won.
