Hunting


1.   riding the horses.

2.   hunting.

3.   no catch.

The darkness had spread and the bitter breeze swept through my hair. As me and my brother sat silently on our horses.  We watched my uncle cutting a track so we could take the horses through it. Suddenly we heard a loud roar. “It’s a stag” my uncle whispered to us.

We jumped off our horses and walked the rest of the track. Creeping and taking careful steps. Watching for twigs so we don’t snap them and give the stag a freight otherwise it will run away.

It started to get really late so we walked back to find our horses. We didn’t catch anything but next time we will catch that stag.

Deep water Challenge

On Friday the 16thour whole classroom walked to the Olympic pools. Also room 3 came with us. Room 2 was first on the high diving board. Everyone was freezing cold. Our first challenge was to climb down the ladder and enter the water. We had to all touch the bottom of the diving board pool. The diving board pool is 3.60m deep.

The water was freezing cold. But the worst part was that it was a windy day. Our next challenge was to jump off the high diving board. When I heard that my heart was beating so fast I couldn’t even hear it. I was looking down at the water and I thought to myself I can do this. So I jumped off what a piece of cake.

Our next challenge was to swim 33m freestyle and backstroke without standing up. Mission accomplished. Mrs Torrie told us to dive into the pool and find 3 items without coming to the surface. Another mission accomplished. That was the end of the deep water challenge.
I can do backstroke.

Tourists Attraction

1.       Kaiti Hill
Kaiti Hill is a marvellous place to go and look at all of Gisborne. There is a lot of history on the kaiti hill and tracks that you can walk on.

2. Sting Ray Feeding 
If you go sting ray feeding you should go out to Tatapouri. There the people that do that job will take you out to all the stingrays and talk about them. They will also let you feed them.



3.Olympic Pools
If you’re feeling hot and bothered you can go to the Olympic Pools. They have a playground, diving board pool, kiddie pool, outside pool, spa pool, hydro slide and an inside pool. They also have a shop where you can get lollies from.


4.  Tairawhiti Museum
The Tairawhiti Museum has a lot of interesting facts about the past. They have a part of captain cooks boat that the kids would love to play in. There is an old cottage that is outside the museum and is quite freaky. 

5.       Morere Hot Springs
Morere Hot Springs is a very nice place to relax and enjoy the heat. But if it is a hot day there is also a very freezing cold pool that you can go in. If you go further into this forest there is some spa pools.
