Bee a BEE lover.

3rd of April in the morning Room 1 and Room 8 + R1, R8, teachers, teacher aids and
parent supervisors all went down to Watson's Creek by the Tasman Sea to do a beach
cook out ( note this is part of the William Pike challenge). In my group were Jennae
(group leader), Korban, Ethan, and me, David. Our parent supervisor was Angus Taylor.

We cooked Nachos. We each had a budget of $5 each and I was responsible for pan,
tongs, oil, butter ( the butter was for dessert which was pancakes).  The Nachos were
great! We had mince, cheese, sweet and sour sauce , and doritos. When dicing the
mince I dropped some precious Nacho mince over the pan and into the fire!

We made our own camp fire using tinder, kindling, and fire wood. I can definitely
say that it was awesome. I enjoyed eating the most but the rest was great too.

Marae stay 2019

W.P.C.A.  5 of March 2019

WE are welcomed by the sound of peaceful Kaikaranga and Miss Ireland answered back. When we got in to the Marae we sang a waiata and a man named David gave a gift to the people in the Marae.

After we went through the powhiri  we had to hongi the elders of the Marae. We sat down on the floor and they went through the rules.

At morning tea a table was filled with pies and savouries and red velvet cake. My table was the first to go up and we were allowed to take four things at a time. Firstly I took two sausage rolls, one pie and a piece of red velvet cake. I did not stay the night but I came back the next day to do a walk.

A day later we went for a walk to Lake Mahinapua. We walked to a spot were there was a BIG fight between the Māori tribes. Apparently some great chief of a tribe drowned there.  When we got back to the car park we started the not so short drive back to school.
