Year 6 Tramp

 "We walked up the hill, the sun was blazing down on our heads, the insects came out and the fantails fluttered and played. Above, the Tui squawked from the nearby tree.
After about 2 hours, we reached the hut and we ran into the Kea room excitedly and started setting up our sleeping bags. As the kids chatted about the lyrics we made on the walk of a little bit of a version of the wheels on the bus go round and round. It didn't really sound like that, it sounded more like; "the John on the bus goes yell yell yell." - Ella

"So the first week of Term 4, the year 6’s got to go on a super fun tramp at the Orongorongos.  We walked to Turere Lodge and got there around 1:30, me and my friend were at the front for most of the way there and back. The floor was so slippery that we slid along the hallway and were nearly tripping over each other!  We went to a swimming hole which I didn’t really go in but it was freezing because I went up to my waist!  I loved it, it was so fun!!!" - Nina

"We walked up the hill and the sun was shining down. people were slowly snacking on sweets. There were lots of birds flying around.

We walked along the track singing our own version of the wheels on the bus which sounded a bit like this: the john on the bus goes yell yell yell and we were singing a lot of the way.

We stopped at Midway bridge for a snack. After 2 hours of walking we arrived at Turere Lodge everyone excitedly ran to their cabins.

We all played together and went down to the swimming hole which my friends and I had discovered when we went on a tramp for one of our birthdays. We also played ultimate frisbee.

When we got back to the hut we roasted giant marshmallows " - Lisa
