Rangitoto Island hike

My challenge was trying to stay hydrated.

On Friday we had the Rangitoto hike and to get to the fairy we had to go on a bus to the city. Then we got on the fairy and it took about 15 or 20 minutes to get to Rangitoto Island. When we got there we all used the toilet. Then we started the hike and it took us at least an hour and a half to get to the top of Rangitoto island. It was very sunny so that meant we were very thirsty. which made it harder to walk. Before we went to the top we saw a massive crater then we started walking to the actual top. There was the most beautiful view I have seen, you could see the Auckland city. Then we had to walk down and It felt longer than going up. When we got on the fairy I felt relieved because knowing that I did the Rangitoto hike is really awesome to me and we got to eat on the fairy which was a bonus. Before I knew it we were at Pinehill school and it felt good knowing the weekend was tomorrow. Then we went home.
Raft building because trying to keep all the piece's together. 


On Thursday I went to Castor Bay, I had kayaking it was fun we played game's like tag it was fun.Then we had to follow the big foot person on our kayak's.Then we had raft building and it was not as fun as I thought it would be when my group put the raft onto the water it fall apart I think my group came last.Then we had beach games, it was fun there was this game where you had these sticks in the ground and you would lie on the sand then when the teacher says go you would have to race to the stick's and grab one and there wasn't one for everyone so it was A competition I didn't do very well but I still had fun.Then it started to rain and we had to walk to the bus in the rain but before I knew it we were at Pinehill school then it was home time so we all went home.

I was in dingle we had mountain biking I had to use a adult bike it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be we had ramps and the sea saw we had to ride our bike on it, it was pretty cool.We had practice our gears and brakes I guess I was pretty good at my brakes, but I was horrible at gears.Next we had team games 1st we played a game where you throw a rubber chicken it was great.Then we played this game where you have a there litre cup and a five litre cup and both of them we had to make the five litre cup into a four litre.Then we played this game where you have a big sling shot and you put a beanbag into it and there was hula hoops and you had to try to get the beanbag into it.Then we had archery it was scary because if you didn't shoot it properly someone could get hurt, I found it hard because you had to aim at the target,I found it really hard because I had never done it before.Then we had some lunch me and my friends played handball.we had rock climbing I am scared of heights and I have kind of 
over come my fear but it was quite fun, coming down was the hardest bit for me because I find it hard to control and I am scared if I hit any one, I made it to the top so I am proud of myself.Last but not least we had the school search it was quite fun some of them were really hard and some were easy.Then it was home time we all said thank you to the big foot people and the rock climbing people then we went home.Today myself for me there were some challenges like the rock climbing wall and the archery cause of the rock climbing wall I kind of over come my fear of heights and the archery I was scared of using the bow but now I am confident with a bow.The mountain biking I was quite surprise that I rode an adult bike today next year I am going to see if I can do even better.
