1 The Reasons we went on this trip were? 

To learn about Awaroa History - the way it works over at Awaroa . To explore , walk , look to find out about who lived in Awaroa and fitness.

2 The Journey went from?

Motueka - to kaiteriteri - on to the Wilsons boat - then on our way to Awaroa. Then when we went on our walk. we went from Awaroa to Tonga Quarry - swim then Wilson's boat 

arrived on to the boat - kaiteriteri - then Motueka and yeah.

3 The highlights for me were?

My highlights were the walk was different it took 2hr - 5min some class mates really needed to go to the toilet. The boat you get to sleep , cool breeze in your face. The walk was awesome some parklands kids tried to get in front of our tour guide his name is whitey. There were bridges that could only take 5 maximum on the bridge. We stopped to look at palm trees they had no nuts meaning they had no pineapples - or - coconuts. 

DUFFY THEATRE

Everybody got up out off their chairs. We all lined up outside the door and all walked through the courts   to the Huia football club we all sat down on the floor then waited for other classes to arrive. When everybody arrived they told us why to read and the characters were Duffy Scruffy and the best book in the world.   Actors Duffy and Scruffy did some wicked rapping, dance moves, and a cool DUFFY THEATRE.

TURANGAWAEWAE FESTIVAL 

It was a really full on day for most of us kids.   We were setting up some gazebos and other stalls around the rest of the school.  As soon as I got to school I had to help some teachers put up one of the gazebos getting ready for the Turangawaewae festival.  Parklands school seniors had made their own stall.   Some of the other children's mothers and fathers had come in and gave us some cup cakes and other stuff  like drinks and ice creams to sell at our school stall.   We made quite a lot of money.   I wasn't there though.   I had to go to my great aunty's because my mum was at work and was picking us  up from there so I couldn't do my shift.  Our stall was called the kiwiana stall and had lots of nice and tasty things there.   My favourite would of had to be the cup cakes and the ice creams with chocolate topping.  There were three flavoured toppings there, chocolate caramel and strawberry.   I like them especially the chocolate one.  There were many kids in their national costume at the festival.

AWAROA TRIP

We are going on a trip to Awaroa for the day on Friday the ninth of March.  We are going on a Wilsons boat.   When we get there we are going to have a look at some of the things that are around Awaroa.  Room one  and two are going on this trip and I am going as well.  We are going on this long walk for about two and a half hours long so we need to have all of our things ready to leave at nine o'clock in the morning.  We will be getting on the boat at Kaiteriteri  to go to Awaroa.   I am looking forward to it and hope all you guys are as well.  Its going to be a lot of fun so don't miss it and get ready fast.   Go go go   Can't waste any time now :).
