WPCA Rockcliming

IT WAS AWESOME! I felt like I did the best of my ability., I woke up that morning and I was super tired and my body was aching I came to school had a gear check got into the vans and headed off to Punakaiki. When I arrived I was not scared is also found that I was surprisingly good at climbing.i started off with one of the small walls then I went to the big one I was ready I felt like I could do it... I was the first one to get to the highest wall and it felt amazing! it was a struggle as  there were a big dip and the wall and I did not think I could get over it but I was to pushed my self out of my comfort zone and I got over it I had got to the top, I looked down I wanted to come down instantly I was super high. It felt rewarding to get to the top tho when I was at the top the view was incredible you could see the sea and the river it was honestly amazing. We also got taught how to belay I was pretty good at it but I did not enjoy it as much climbing. I belayed sammi I pinched myself in the teeth (which is the thing that you thread the rope through and attach it to your harness). The day was super rewarding and I enjoyed it a lot the day had it's up and it had its downs but it was super fun.🙈

Camping is better than staying in a hotel ?

Camping is better than staying in a hotel

Some people believe that staying in a hotel is better than sleeping in a tent but your wrong! Why waste your hard earnt cash for a hotel when you can be just a cosey tucked up in your sleeping bag looking up into the night sky.

The money. you can't argue that hotels aren't expensive but whereas camping is a

small cost or free. Just think about it would you rather pay heaps of money for a

nice hotel and be bored or stay in a tent have fun for no cost at all, I know what one I would rather. The food not only is it expensive in hotels you could have the exact same thing for cheaper, for example, take, the big kiwi breakfast! is it quite expensive for an egg a couple of saussies and a hash brown,

and all that costs, about $25, but if you cook that not only will you cook more,

you can cook more for less money?

The view. When you book a hotel your also paying for a better view?
but when your camping you can get a better view for no cost and well the view of a river and
trees and well that's just breathtaking and well looking at the sea and a road it just does not
take my breath away!

The adventure! When you stay in a hotel in a city you get bored

let's face it… your mum just wants to shop and you get dragged around

and then you make your bank account feel sad, but when your camping

you have the time of your life and never get bored going for walks

swimming jumping off a bank into the water.

The smell of pool chemicals in the hotel pool and no splashing signs or

a wide-open river with cliffs you can jump off and swings you can swing

off you just don't get the same kick off swimming in a pool than swimming

in a river. Nature the trees and the birds in the wilderness and looking

down from your expensive hotel balcony, you see well cars and a few birds

but it's just not the same as the wilderness.

Family bonding. When you camp you go for walks with your

family, go swimming, roast marshmallows around the campfire,

and when you stay in a hotel you go to a mall then split up to different

shops and also you can't toast marshmallows around a fire you just play

on your phones and use the free wifi if you have it).

When you're with your family and camping you don't get bored there are

heaps to do, go for walks, go swimming, etc but you do get bored in your

hotel room whats there to do lay on your ben eat an expensive chocolate bar

from the mini fridge otherwise there is nothing really to do.

Shopping your in a city normally when you stay in a hotel and I know all we

do is shop if we get bored well what else is there to do, hotels are boring

and you actually have to leave your hotel to have fun.

In conclusion, camping is way better than staying in a hotel no matter how

flash that hotel is there a heap of things to do it does not cost much and

you get to spend time with your family, and spending time with your family

is better than a five-star hotel.

WPCA Rafting the Arnold

Holy moly what an amazing experience it was scary but heck it was fun...
flying over the waves and spinning because of hidden rocks under the water,
I would do it 100 more times if I could. I just loved the thrill of it it got my adrenaline pumping
I was not even that scared I wanted to jump to another raft but I did not want to fall in so I gave it a pass
maybe on a warmer day!

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Part was pyramid rock, so on this particular day, we could not see it because
the river was higher than usual. And where about 100m away from where it usually is and then we keep
on cruising down the river and then boom we got stuck on it then we dropped about 90cm down into the
water again! And we got stuck because the current was going towards us and it was pulling us back it
was very challenging but very cool it was such a relief when we got out of it.

We passed a dead cow that had been there for a long time I was dry retching and it
was so bad it was this rotten smell, in the end apart from being cold and wet it was such an amazing
an experience I loved it so much.

All about me

I run my very last 2.6k 🚴🏽‍♀️🧗🏽‍♀️

I run my very last 2.6k  run today for me I hated them the first year I done it and I still do but its all about eating dirt which is a phrase that means basically doing something that so hard that you mentally eating dirt. I'm glad it over but It has helped keep me fit I do heaps of other sport but this is different to all them other sport. I was fit but now I am fitter I did wake up in the morning dreading to do it as i get hit a lot in hockey and sometimes I think I'm a magnet to the hockey balls Im quite sore but once you halfway done you realize that the run is not so bad after all. I defiantly not the fastest runner in the class and most days I'm probably in the last 9 to finish but I don't really care. Its not about how fast you are it's about going the pace you want and enjoying it I know a lot of us don't like it like who would want to run 2.6k every day I know I did not but we all done it anyway.so thank you to Mr. McAulay and Mr. Sinton-white for making us eat dirt.

Adiós y gracias
