Preparing for the trip
Yesterday on the 11th of August 2021, after morning tea the senior syndicate was going down to the river. Whaea AJ told us to grab out Te Awa book and pen and to put it in our bags and go line up on the nine square, Whaea De’s students came as well. We left school and off we went.
Reached our destination
We reached our destination at the Rowing club. We did a karakia to respect the River. After we did a karakia we had a korero. Once we finished our korero we got to draw what we could see and we got to write.
After that
We got up and walked across the bridge to the other side by the old meat works. We saw a floodgate and it was open. We went in our bags and grabbed our lunch. I was sitting by my Kowhai,Waiora,Manu, Armani, and Kaukau. Once we were done we got to play in the park.
In the Afternoon
We stopped playing and we got up and crossed the road by the groynes. Once we crossed the road we sat down on one of the stop banks. The stop banks are there so if there was a flood it wouldn’t flood our precious town.
When we left
Then we stood up and off we went back to school. My legs were dead and my throat was dry. I needed a drink so badly. So I ran up the hill as fast as I could.
When we arrived back at School
We arrived at School and ‘‘did you know what I did? I went straight to the water fountain’’, and I also went back to class , grabbed my Te awa book out of my bag and put it in the box and sat down. Did you know when we got back it was 2:00 o'clock wow time goes really fast.
I hope you enjoyed my story, Bye.
