Whareora Farm

It was the 17th of June we were getting on the bus I had my gumboots on and my dad went with Sam's dad in his car. When I was on the bus it was very noisy and almost full so I had to sit with Lucas. When we got off the bus a old lady named Jan told us our groups I was in group A with my dad and Sam's dad. The first thing we did was hike up a mountain half way up to the lookout point we saw shellfish pieces. Mr.Corlett told us why they there there because a long time ago because there 2 maori tribes one would go to the beach grab shellfish and eat them on the mountain so the other maori tribe wouldn't kill them for being on there territory. Then we got to the look out point they asked us to see if we could find the catchment we were on.It was realy windy and Lucas`s clipboard flew away. Then we headed back down to do river testing. Me and Edward partnered up this is why I wore my gumboots first Edward filled a tote with water I grabbed a net stuck it in the water and pointed it downstream.Then I shuffled the rocks with my foot. Then we poured out the stuff in the tote,we mostly found Mayflies. Then we had lunch I had 2 sausage rolls 1 juice box cheese and crackers and also apple slices,then we played tag.Then we did creature feature we saw a kowhai tree Jan told us to grab the pods and throw them in the river so they grow.Then we saw Wecka houses and looked inside them 2 were mating we also saw fungi and there was also a wild cat that had been caught in a trap and died. Then we did orientation my dad was in my group we found all the points but number 10 was the hardest of all but we found it there was a group close to it but my dad told us to say it wasn't there so we did for fun. Then we walked back to the bus and headed back to the bus. THE END
