Year 5 Outdoor Ed - Day 1



Monday was a fun day for the Year 5s. For a starter, it was the first day of our outdoor education and everyone was enthusiastic to know and see what we were going to do. Unfortunately Mrs T got a puncture on the way to our first activity so we had to wait a wee bit longer.

HORSE RIDING! Brenna was alergic to horses so she had to walk some of the way, but she got to ride some of the way. Our horses were really lovely - Samara rode Barney and he was a big tall horse. Natasha was on Trolls and he was very gentle.

First we had to have a helmet fitted and then we were allowed
to get on our horse. It was a bit scary at first but after a while it was OK.

We went way up some big hills - when you go up hill you have to lean forward and when you go downhill you have to lean back. Mrs T and Chris (Natasha's dad) had to walk!

We could see Port Chalmers from
the top of the walk. It was really cool.

I really enjoyed the year 5 camp last year.My favourite would have to be horse riding or fishing! Briarna Elle & I have been talking about the year 6 camp this year and really can't wait. The yr 5s were talking about it with Mrs T and some People said go to Aussie even though that would be really cool i dont think so!Ha ha he he...
