Kayaking

Today was my first time going kayaking.

First we had to put our swimming clothes then our wet suits with some shoes. We then got our kayaks and paddles then went away like a plane.

We had to go around a little course then come back to shore and get changed in time for the bus to go back home for our lunch break.

I felt nervous at the start but then had a great time, besides tipping over 6 times it was so cold. Hope we could go back again.

The Tamaki Rubbish Pick Up

On Monday Ruapotaka School went on a school trip to the Dunkirk Reserve and picked up the rubbish along the border line of the water. When we got there the tide was out so we saw a lot of birds. I saw my favorite bird which is a seagull.

We were then told since we are walking towards the park while we pick up the rubbish we could go and play on it. My group and I were too busy walking with Hazel picking up the rubbish we even discovered a jellyfish ashore.

The Jellyfish looked astonishing because of the variety of colours that it had, it was a great day.

Skiing Season Opens For 2019

Mount Ruapehu marks the starting of "Skiing" season for 2019.

Ruapehu is the first main field to open for skiing this year. The exact date for this to happen is unknown.

All they had to do was to leave the decision to "Mother Nature".
