My trip to Rangitoto Island
On Wednesday 15th of November 2017 Room9, 10 and a few of Room 8 and 7 went to Rangitoto Island by bus and a ferry boat. We went to see how the island was formed from a series of volcanic eruptions under the sea. There were volunteers from Kidscan and they were great leaders. When we got off the bus we walked in a straight line towards the docks and boats. When we got there we had to brush our shoes and my foot felt tickly because I was exciting to go on a ferry. When we were finished we went on the ferry and I felt sea sick because we were at the bottom of the boat and I could see the ocean water near me. When we arrived we had morning tea under a huge shelter and I was amazed to see Rangitoto Island.
First when we were going on the hike but we had to go to the toilet and then we wait for everyone to come out then we go for the hike. When everyone was out we started to walk and I got a lot of energy that time. Key and I walked with a lady and I called us the Three Musketeers but then I changed it into the Three Explorers and the lady liked it because the Three Musketeers were not in a hike they were at the palace so I changed the word musketeers into the explorers. When we were far away from the shelter I still had lots of energy in me but I got hot so I took off my raincoat and the lady helped me to take off my raincoat and put it in my bag.
Secondly we were halfway there and we were the only group in the middle because we were expecting to be in our own groups we made at school but it was changed. Going up was to steep but going down wasn’t and it was slippery for my shoes. When we reached the top I thought that the teachers just took us there just to look at a beautiful view but they took us to look at a view and have lunch. Then we went down with Kristel and she disappeared so we walked down the hill with a year 7 girl Mary and it was funny because Key almost hit his face on a rock.
After that we were almost there so I shouted freedom but we weren’t there yet and Mary laughed. When we were there Kristel and her crew were already there so we had a great time walking altogether and I putted my bag a water bottle on top a rock and went toilet and when I got out I thought My school bag and bottle were gone but it wasn’t. When the other group came we all saw a stingray next to the shore a I thought it was a shark but sharks are not in New Zealand.
Finally it was time to go to school we said by to the volunteers and we went over to the bridge and on the ferry and we got to go on the very top.
It was very fun walking on Rangitoto Island.
