What Now

                    What Now

 

On Sunday the 13th of September I went to What Now in Shantytown with Room 8 and 7.

The Presenters were Erin, Morgan was the director, Matt was the cameraman and the other Matt was the guy who did the props. 

I went with Kade and Flynn when we got inside of Shantytown. We didn't really see anything, it was kinda empty. I thought there would be watersides, water guns and obstacles but no sadly.  I enjoyed getting foamed at the end, and going on the train at the start.

First at Shantytown we went on the train for a good entrance and we did that for a practice first and then we went live for 5 mins.

Then we went to the tongue twisters by the fire station. The people that did it were Emma, Zade, Mea and Lucey. Emma ended up winning but she still got foamed. She tried to run away which was funny.

Once we finished the tongue twisters we went gold panning. I didn't really get a spot in the gold panning, so I just watched people get gold and it was funny. Jack T probably got the most. It was funny when Seth put his head underwater.

After that we went to the movie and we all lined up and once we went live again we had to run into the theater.  2 minutes later we ran out saying it was bad and all.

Then we went to the place where Ms Newton got gunged. To gunge Ms Newton we had to think of something to say bad about her and Noah Marrist said, “You got new balls but you didn't fix the basketball hoop.” Before that she had to answer some questions and if she got them right we got foamed. She got two questions right and one wrong answer. Then she got gunged and it was funny.

At the end we all were going to get foamed by Erin and it went all in my face and in my ears and everywhere. Then when the show ended we got free gunge.  The Show was 50 50 because it was a little boring when we had to wait and I didn't really do anything.

Lake Daniell

On the 9th of September we were on the way to Lake Daniell to go Tramping. Lake Daniell is in the Lewis Pass area and the Lewis Pass is a road that crosses over the Southern Alps.

I Traveled Tim and Bob, Billie W, and Indi.  The travel was quiet but that was okay.  I just about fell asleep and on the way back to Greymouth Billie W felt sick. Preparations were when we watched videos about tramping and all the things we had to have and do if we got lost.

We stopped at Reefton to go to the toilet. We played Bullrush too. When we got  to the Lake Daniell’s walk, we all got our bags and started walking up the track. 

What I enjoyed the most about walking the Lake Daniell track with my classmates was how we all just talked and had a lot of fun and we got to leave school for a day. 

We walked to the Kohanga Atawhai - Manson Nichols hut and it was cool. I liked the seat that they made out of wood. The lake was cool for photos and videos and there were lots of hills and cool beech forest. It was a spring tramp.

Why we went was because of the william pike project, and we are trying to walk the length of New Zealand for a School kit organisation.  The William Pike Challenge is to get out of the class and do lots of fun activities like the beach cook out and the Lake Daniell tramp and, soon, a bike ride. 

I wonder how many steps we did on the Lake Daniels walk? It's good that no one got hypothermia. Thank you to all the parents for helping us go on the tramp. Leave No Trace!
