Butterfly Creek

Thursday 12th March 2015

WALT: We are learning to write a Recount.

On Monday the 9th of March 2015 Glenbrae school had an exciting trip to Butterfly Creek.The trip was for Rooms 10 and 9. We left at 9:00 am and probably got there by 10:00am. We went their to learn about dinosaurs.  

We quickly got off from the bus, headed inside and we had our morning tea. After having a tasty morning tea we were instructed about our time table for the day. First we went to the train ride which was really cool, to see all the different dinosaurs standing there.Then we moved on to the farm where we could hold and pat the Bunnies, Goat and Mila the dog.

room, there it was really hot. I had some butterflies come land on my head and hand it was really beautiful.

Later we moved on to the next room which had two Crocadiles named Scar and Goldie. They were in two seperate rooms away  from each other. Straight after that we had lunch at about 12:55 pm and ended at 12:45 pm , so from there our instructor took us for the 1:00 pm Crockadile show where Scar and some trained keepers were showed us some of Scars abilities of what he can do.

After that we got the chance to see a real life Turanchula then finished off by me saying thank you to the instructors.

That was very fun and exhausting trip. The farm was my favourite part of the day.  I would really like go there again.

water fun day

On Monday the 9th of February we had a event called water fun day.When I came to school I saw 7 obstacles set up for us, but before we started we quickly got changed into our house colours.

We split into our classes and headed off to our first obstacle, we had to crawl underneath chairs and quickly run and pour the water that was in the cup into our house bin.The obstacle was very hard to do but I still enjoyed it.

After that we headed off to our 2nd obstacle which was to soak the sponge in water and then pass through a over and under patern until it gets to the last person at the back, so then they run and sqeeze the sponge so it no longer has water in it in our house bin, then they come and start it all over.This was cool and fun obstacle.

As the day passed we were up to the last obstacle, although I didn’t participate in this one it was still cool to watch.

We assembled back to our house groups and were ready to hear the results.Rata came 1st Kauri came 2nd Kowhai came 3rd and Nikau sadly came last place.                                                                             

At the end of the day I felt wet, tired but  I still enjoyed it.
