---------------------------------------
Today I went to Whareroa farm with my class (rm 6) & room 18.
We all jumped on the bus  and travelled too Whareroa Farm. .

Once we got there we had to sit down in a...a...ah um a thing I don’t know the name of,anyway so we sat down and a lady called Jan talked about the water cycle and the we got put into groups.
I was in group A along with my BFFPB Faith.
Our first activity was walking up a big hill I had to pull Faith up most of it :)
ON the way up we stopped to look at some shells that were in the ground, they were called midden and talked about why they were there.

Our next activity was catching/fishing for aquatic bugs me and Faith found a uncased caddis,a dobsonfly and a may fly.
That was my favourite activity.

Our next activity was bush and beetles but our teacher didn,t know that and we took a wrong turn and missed out on some stuff but that was ok.
We walked through a stream and walked up a hill too look at some fungi, we saw some wetas on the way we saw two pairs of mating
We walked up the hill some more and saw a dead CAT, it had been caught in a trap.
Then we walked back down the hill.

And started on our next activity, ORIENTEERING!!
Our last activity.
I was the group leader (for awhile anyway.)
We took a wrong turn and walked about a K, before we realised it we went back the way we came and Mr Corlett told us where we went wrong then pointed out the marker for us.
We only finished one chapter of the orienteering but it was still fun.
After that we walked back to the others and jumped back on the bus for the long journey home. (sorry that was over exaggerated.) Then that was one of the many adventures room 6 have had and one of the many to come.
















Whareroa farm

Whareroa farm is full of beautiful bushes & beautiful trees with the swaying of their leaves
Like there's a commotion in the trees As the wind blows their leaves.
With the beautiful native birds singing in the trees and the tiny bugs chomping on the leaves.
With the weta in their homes, all snuggly and close,
Hidden away like a kiwi
As the wind outside their homes roars as the storm gets close.
