TiriTiri Matangi Trip

Hello bloggers 

On Thursday 7.50 Waikowhai Primary Senior's got to have a special trip. The special trip was to TiriTiri Matangi. TiriTiri Matangi  is a island with no pests at all. We went to TiriTiri Matangi because we were looking at endangered animals and what we could take back form the island like how to keep the pest's away and how to keep our land clean. To get there we went for about a 20 minute ride in the bus and a 1 1/2  hour ride to in the ferry  to the island and back. So all together it was a the ride was 3 hours and 40 minutes ride. 
We had a Guide taught as about this island and names of the different birds. 
Here are some photos of the day!

I really enjoyed the trip because I got to see a lot of different birds and it was good fitness. If I got the chance to go to TiriTiri Matangi again I would deferentially want to go with friends and family.

Orienteering!!

Hi bloggers of the world, last term some of the Year 5's and 6's went to Orienteering. We went to Block House Bay Park to participate in the competition. while we were waiting we had a quick play on the Park and fitness trail. Most of us were really scared. Soon it was time to line up to find the marks we had a map to read. It had no words so it was like finding gold. We had to fill in a piece of paper for the run.  

I liked doing the orienteering because using a map was a real challenge. But with the map you had to turn it around lots. Over all I think I would like to do it again. 

Here are some photos of the orienteering people!!!

I have learnt that orienteering is good for your brain, because when you look at the map you have to find out where you are and where you going to. 

A big thanks to  super Mrs Sands for organizing orienteering and for letting us have a chance to try.
