What now

 

On sunday the 13th of september the year 6,7 and 8s went to Shanty Town for What Now TV show.It started at 8am but we had to be there at 7 so they could see how many people were coming. The people that were taking the show were Erin,Matt,Matt and Morgan .I found Morgan the funniest because he was making fun or Erin because when we were waiting for it to be our turn on the show Morgan was showing us what Erin and the kids had to do. The first thing we did was get a clip of us getting off the train.We did it like 10 times so we could see how we needed to get the right clip.It was funny because they told us when you get off the train give the camra your biggest wave . The second thing we did was where we talked about why we loved the west coast.Seth said he liked fishing. Olive said how it's beautiful and Billie w talked about the bike trail .then everyone sang happy Birthday to Lilly . Thirdly we went to the fire station and we did, say it don't spray it. It was funny because they had to do a tongue twister it was Sheila seldom sells shelled shrimps at Shanty Town.The kids that did say it don't spray it was Zade,Emma,Mia,Lucy and Olive. Fourthly we went into the movie theaters and they played a movie they made the day before.But we did not see the movie but they showed it on tv I watched it when I got home and it was pretty funny.Erin said the movie was bad so she made us walk out the movie theater scream why did I pay for that movie and saying omg trash. Fithly we went to gold panning that was so fun I was next to Tyler and Noah M.Noah and I thought that we found 3 paces but we didn't know because they walked away when we went to show them the gold. After gold panning we went to the school at shanty town where we Gunged Mrs Newton it was super funny because when the gunge fell on her goggles fell off.The rule was that Erin would ask her a question and if she got it right then we got foamed and if she got it wrong then she got gunged.She got three questions right and then she got one wrong the splash she got gunged. Lastly we meet outside the post office and then Erin got the foam gun and sprayed everyone with it.After that clip was down I looked like frosty the snowman.It was pretty cool because they gave us our own bottle of gunge.When I opened the bottle it exploded in my hand and then I was slimy snowman. In conclucion I believe that the What Now avent was super fun.If they come back I hope i can go again.

Lake Daniell

 Lake daniell  

 We went to Lake Daniells. We went on the 9th of September. I went with Donna Hampton, Billie H, Callan, Breanna,  Emma and the whole class.

We went because it was for our William Pike project. I like the William Pike challenge because we can get out of class and do super fun activities like the Lake Daniell walk, the beach cookout ,skiing and a lot of others that we get to do.

Before we even left we had to learn about Hypothermia, how it is caused and what Hypothermia was.We watched a video about leaving no trace which means do not break down trees or bushes. 

You have to go on the Lewis Pass to get to Lake Daniell.I thought the drive to lake daniell was going to be a long drive but it was pretty short. When we were on the way it was fun because we were playing music as loud as it could go and it was  9 in the morning. 

When we got to Marble Hill it was warmer than I expected I thought it was going to be super cold. It was 7 degrees and it was pretty warm if you ask me.

It was an 8.5 km walk. I liked it because it had hills to climb and a lot of roots to walk over. The hut is named after Phillip Nicholls and Sharon Manson because they died from a landslide.

I enjoyed  that we were allowed to walk with our mates. I walked with  Jack PSK, Flynn Swinburn and Charlie Frost. It was super funny because Jack PSK was carrying a broken tree that he found on the track to the lake. When we got to the lake we had our lunch and then we said our goodbyes to the broken tree. I didn't like it when Jack PSK found the first dead tree because when he picked it up, it snapped in half but it was pretty funny though. 

I really appreciated that the parents said that they could come and transport us to Lake Daniell. The only reason we got there was because of the parents. If the parents did not say they could come then we couldn't have gone.So thanks again to the parents. 

I wonder how many steps the whole class and parents did throughout the whole day?
