Spencer Park Trip

On March the 10th, some of the classes in Hornby Primary went to a trip in Spencer Park. I learnt some things and I also enjoyed being there. If you want to know more, here is the story, bye!

W.A.L.T Write an information report that informs the audience.

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• I use an opening statement that explains the subject of the report.

• The opening statement is followed by sentences that describe the event; what you saw, what you did, how you felt, what you learnt.
• Each paragraph focuses on a different aspect of the topic; travelling, the beach, the lagoon walk, playground.
• A general statement about the topic usually rounds off the report.

On the 10th of March, we (Ako Ngatahi) and some of the other classes from here, went to a trip to Spencer Park. In this trip, we saw many this like cobwebs, horses and many more. We also did a Challenge that was very cool.

First of all in the bus, I was with Khush and Vann on the seat. In there we chatted and laughed too, we also made some jokes and then relax. Then also Vann and I made a bit of a prank, when Khush slept we drew a figured on Khush's cheek and then told him when he woke up while we laugh.

Suddenly, we were there! We were finally at Spencer Park. The first thing we had to do is go to our groups. Before we  went to the bus we were put in groups with the other classes. (I’m in group 1). Then we were put in groups again. Group 1 did the lagoon walk first.

It was a bit tiring because the walk was quite long and the path was “quite muddy” if you may say. We saw some horses on our way, they were very big, and also very tamed, but they don’t really like noises. Also we “saw” some well....you know, “digested food” that comes out of your “rear end”. The weather was really hot, because before we went on that trip, it was raining a bit. At last, we saw the place where you watch the birds at.But I’m gonna say it was a bit boring on the fact that we didn’t see the birds very well, but at least we saw them, and the horses.

Next we returned on the real park and rested for a bit and played on the playground.

Then again, we walked to the next destination. We went to the beach that is in there.

The path was a bit bumpy and also very dusty. There were many dried trees and I think that place was really good for body dumping (jokes). It was really hot, hotter because there were no shades cause the trees were dry, yet thankfully we had our school hats and the wind became a bit cooler.

When we arrived at the beach, we had a choice to take off or keep our shoes on. Well being “cool” that I am I took off my shoes. In the beach we needed to get some beach treasures like drift wood and also some sea shells. We can’t find them so we needed to dig so we can find the treasures, even so we didn’t really find many. Then, after the treasure finding, the teachers and adults decided to do a challenge.

In the challenge we had to make a sandcastle in 5-12 mins. When we finished and they had to decide who won the adult/ teachers didn’t really say which group won, because we had to go back quickly. I tried to put my shoes on but then, my feet were sandy. Well looks who’s “cool” now? I said. I thought, well apparently it’s not me. That is why I had to walk with sandy feet in my shoes.

Still, the path we took after that, was short. Our group, group 1 came back and ate our lunch. Then before we finish, the other groups came and also ate their lunch.

Finally, we finished playing in the playground and then went back to school and the went home. After that trip I learnt many things, but this is my favourite. There are many hunters hideout in there, isn’t that cool? Even though the trip was a bit tiring, I still loved it.

Now after that trip, we are gonna make a sculpture using the “treasures” that we found, so stay tuned.
