Kia ora, welcome back to my blog. This week for my blog I will be sharing with you my trip I went on. For my trip before it all started we had to fill out a form to choose which one we wanted to go on. There were three options they were: Sumner beach, Travis wet lands or the groynes. I chose to go to the groynes and so did the rest of my friends. When the groups came out all of my friends were in the same group except Claudia because she had a concussion when we filled out the form so she didn’t get to choose.
There were two groups going to the groynes my friends and I were group one and our teacher was miss Bryce and miss Lamont and we also had some parent help that came with us too. When the trip had started we had a chat to the park ranger. Then he took us on a walk talking about the trees and the birds. As the walk started we went on this swinging bridge and it was really fun I almost fell over. Once we got of the bridge we walked through the trees learning about some off them as we were walking along. Some of the trees that we learnt about were : Lemon wood, crack willow, ropai, kowai, whiteoak and more that I can’t remember.
Once we finished the walk we talked with the park ranger some more and then got on to this activity. For the activity we had to grab these little sive things on a stick and we had to do a small figure 8 in the water to try and find the small fish. We had to get into groups of three, my group consisted of Bella, Payton, Eden and I but then Payton left us so Avalon joined our group. My group caught so much water boutmin but we couldn’t find any other ones.
After that activity we played a game I’m not sure what the game was called but the rules were: There were four groups of different number of people in each group, the groups were different animals representing a food web. the water boutmin were at the start of the food web and we ended up winning because one of the animals in the food web all died so all the other animals were effected by it except my team because we only needed sun, dirt, and water to survive. After that we went back to school
Did you learn anything about the groynes from my blog?
