Kia Ora!
Welcome To my blog.
Me and my class Rimu went along all the way over to Author's Pass for 3 day and 2 nights. On that period of time a lot of activities and events took place. I will be sharing 5 of those activities/events of the course of 5 days. Today is going to be the first one and the second will be out tomorrow. 6 parents came along as parent help and we also had our two wonderful instructors with us.
What is Castle Hill? Castle hill is a rocky wonderland that we stopped on while we were driving up there ( we went on bus ). We stopped at Castle Hill to eat our morning tea. While we were there we went on a little walk and got to play around in all of the snow and on all of the rocks. It was beautiful. The only downside is that the bus driver was a little upset with up because we came back half and hour later then what we needed to be causing him to be late OOPS.
My Reflection on this.
I think that Castle hill will be one of my most memorable parts of camp this is because it was the first thing that we did as a group other than the bus ride up to Arthur's Pass. I also think I would remember it because it would have been the first time in a very long time that I have seen that much snow in one place. I had an amazing time playing with snow and talking with friends it was an awesome way to start of our camp as a class.
Thank you all for coming onto my blog! I hope you all come back tomorrow to see the next part of the series. We went on quite a long bus ride getting up there what is the longest bus ride you have been on? Mine was 10 hours coming back up from down south. Do you like the snow? or are you more of a summery person because I feel like everyone is a winter person until winter actual comes. What was the first thing that came to mind when your read Castle Hill? What did you think it was? Were you correct?

Kia ora Maddie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely intro to your camp. Your writing really due me in and having the photos to support it has allowed me to see how much snow there really was. I did feel a little sorry for the bus driver but I think you guys having fun is far more important than being on time. Hehe!
10 hours on a bus sounds long, I'm glad the trip to Arthur's Pass wasn't that long. Plus you had a good break to stretch your legs.
In answer to your questions: I love snow. A lot. In fact I am super sad we haven't had snow for a few years in Christchurch. I want to spend one Christmas having a snow filled winter Christmas once in my life. It's on my bucket list. But I also hate being cold, so a fire needs to be going when I come inside. I think your insight into people's true feelings about winter is probably accurate. What is your feeling about snow?
Thanks for sharing. Your writing is really coming along nicely Maddie. Be proud of yourself.
