As soon as I got to Cooks Cove I placed a huge smile on my face. It was my first time walking up Cooks Cove and I was really excited! It was really good practise for the year 6 camp. When everybody had arrived the year 6's took a seat on the wet and soggy ground. Koka Ngaire called out loudly the groups for walking. I was with Charlotte A, Oscar and Reef, I was happy with my group.
We lined up in single file and started walking up the maunga. At first there were heaps of steps, but then we were walking on flat ground again. Our first stop was The Beckon of Light, a really intricate and detailed statue. It had some sort of solar panels on the top, so when it was dark the statue lit up astonishingly. This part had a beautiful view. After we had a quick gulp of water, we headed back on the track.
Then after we passed the lookout, we walked on tracks, where you could hardly see light. After a few minutes we saw something amazing, it was a Morepork! It was so fluffy and cute, I loved it!
Very soon we were at the end of the walk. We had our morning tea and then all the groups went to have their photo taken by the hole in the wall. Then we walked back. I loved the walk and I can't wait for year 6 camp!

Hey Esther,
ReplyDeleteI love you how you added a lot of pictures and writing in your work it makes it interesting. I also like how you added commas and capital letters.
What was your favorite part of the walk.
It sounds like you had a great time.
