EOTC Recount
Long bay hike
A fairly sized handful of students from rm7 & rm9 were crowded around Mrs Milne as they chattered away at Long Bay Beach. This was part of EOTC which for some was probably the most exciting day of the whole school year! We were just about to walk the Long Bay hike and we were all bursting with excitement to start! EOTC was to explore the outdoors so everything last week was pretty different compared to a normal school day.
Before we left for the hike Mrs Milne handed out checklists. We had to
take photos of things that we saw on the way with the ipad we were
Given and tick it after the photo was taken. We were in groups of four
with an adult each, in my group was Eliza, Elizabeth, Vivienne & me &
our parent was the one and only Mrs Milne! Personally, I was really
excited to see pukekos, a bird native to New Zealand and they were on
our list! I got Eliza to take a photo & I ticked them off our list. Then
we started looking for other things such as Vaughan house,
Rangitoto island, Tiritiri island, stock gates, Granny’s bay, a view of
Long Bay & a few other things. Vaughan house seemed very out
dated but it was built hundreds of years ago so I wasn’t very
surprised. We didn’t really travel to either Rangitoto Island or
Tiritiri island either, we just saw the view and took a Photo. When we got to Granny’s bay I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was so very pretty! I
heard the soft, calm waves, I smelt the salty sea. In fact the sea was
so salty that I could almost taste it! I felt the the golden sand flowing
through my fingertips, I thought that the fresh air was very soothing &
as I stood up to pose for photos, I felt calm & relaxed. After we had
Taken our photos, I said to Anita, this beach is beautiful, she
agreed with me.
