On Wednesday the 22nd of Feb 2017 Room 6 and some parents went on a Waka at Clive River . First we had a talk about some of the Maori war stuff and weaponry . Second we put our life jackets on then we got onto the waka and had a practice of the calls then we were away . After that the current was very strong even my strong arm was getting tired . Then we went under and the calls echoed through the bridge . After we had gone under and out a bit then we stopped to give our arms a rest . Later we started going for about 5 minutes then the small boats turned us around and me and Vincent switched sides . Next we had a go of paddling backwards we didn't get that far back so we started to go back . We went back under the bridge and back to sheor then got off the waka and took our life jackets . Then we ran to the cars and drove back
my group got back first . The waka trip was amazing I’m sure all our class enjoyed it !!!!
In writing we are learning to write recounts
Something I did well was order words
Something I need to work on is using interesting vocabulary .
