7/8 Otaki Gorge Trip.

Yesterday, on the Thursday 26th. My class SWL and half of MNL went down to the gorge to do some fun activities with the year elevens.

To get there, I went in Lucy's car with Keira and Tyson. When we got there, we were separated into some groups. I was with, Taison, Eliot, Jayaiah, Antonio and Dragon. We were paired up with two year 11 girls.

Our first activity was shelter building. We found a spot and used to blue tarps to tie to the trees. Once we hung to the top one to the tree, we placed the other one on the ground. Then we got some ferns and placed them at the edges of the shelter. 

Once we had packed up, we headed down to the river and were planning to make a fire and roast some marshmallow's. We eventually got the fire to light and had a fun time trying to roast the best looking marshmallow.

When the time came to race it against the other rafts. I was in the lead before my raft hit the shore, and people started to throw rocks at it.

After lunch, we all had a game of capture the flag, Juniors against Seniors. We, the juniors, managed to win against the seniors and were given bragging rights.

Going to the gorge was a lot of fun and I hope that I can go there again.
