Day 2 - Tuesday 10 September

Today we woke up at 6:00 and got ready for the day. We had fitness for 10 minutes and had for another 20 minutes breakfast. We had to spit into our groups and clean the holiday park before we do our activities. Our activites were Kayaking, Swimming, Bush Craft, Team building and Bush walk. We learnt a lot of things on our bush walk. I learnt about new trees such as Puriri and Totara.

Puriri are the kind of tree that has a weird as shape but its a really cool tree. Totara is a type of tree that is nearly tall like a kauri tree. Its so similar to the Kauri tree, Its so strong and I heard that its pretty hard to cut down. As we were walking in the forest we saw this weird vine called Supple Jack. If you burn the vine and make it into something it stays like that for a very long time. I think you can eat it as well because it seems eatable.

In bus craft we all learnt how to make a fire and how to make shelter. we had to find dried sticks to put in the fire so it can burn easily. we also learnt about some other trees called Tea Tree, when the Tea Tree leaves are died it is called Kanuka and if the Tea Tree leaves is alive it is called Manuka. In Team building we just played games and it was basically about all of us mingling together. Some of us went Kayaking and the rest of the people got to go swimming.

After all the fun things we did we all went for a shower and go ready for dinner. Some of the class wanted to help the teachers cook the food and the rest of us watched a movie called "LORAX". The movie was so funny and interesting. We ate dinner and had to do our cleaning duty's before we go to bed. After our cleaning Maiki taught us a little Haka and a Waiata so we can perform it anywhere to show people where we are from.
