Kapiti Island

Our trip to Kapiti Island

    It’s Friday morning. The whole class is bursting with excitement. “Class get into your group’s now.” said Mrs Atkinson.

“YAY WE CAN GO NOW.”
     It was a long drive to get there. When we finally got there, everyone was jumping up and down hoping to get on the first boat.

     When the boat started, going it was a bumpy/splashy ride but eventually we got there. As soon as we took a step on Kapiti Island, we felt like we were walking on the moon. (Well not quite.)

     The first thing saw was the whaling pot, and soon after the weka came dawdling out of the bush. Then the kaka flew in and took the weka’s spotlight.

     The track up the hill was hard going and very steep but we got there in the end. When we got to the top, we felt like we had just climbed Mount Everest. The view was amazing; it was funny when four uninvited wekas joined us for lunch.

     The track down was far easier than the trip up. In addition, even some of us saw a kakariki.
    When we got back to the mainland we saw a dead shark. (Gross.)

Term 2 Week 3
Room 14 are having a great term so far. We started our cross country practices on Monday and were well prepared with sport's clothes. Everyone worked hard on the fitness circuit in weeks 1 and 2 in readiness for our walk to the top of Kapiti Island this Friday. The forecast looks pretty good at the moment for the trip. Room 15 unfortunately missed out on Monday but have been able to reschedule for next week. Remember to listen to Newstalk ZB for postponements and be at school at 8:20am ready to go on Friday.
Don't forget to look at our fabulous art work.
