Otaki Gorge

On the 26th of september I went to the Otaki Gorge with half my class. It was really fun, we built shelters, made a fire to roast marshmallows on and made some rafts to race on. When we built the shelter we found two trees to tie a tarpolin on. on the other end we tied it to rocks. For the fire we found some dry sticks and put rubber in it and lit the rubber. It wasn't really working so after lots of trys we gave up and used a fire starter and a match. For the rafts Olivia and I paired up and made a raft which we called the sea monster. When we raced them we dropped them off a big swinging bridge and the race started. The boys that were at the finishing line at the end said Olivia and I won, which we were really happy about. At the end we played four rounds of capture the flag, it was year elevens and adults vs year 7/8's. We won three out of four and the year 11's and adults won one out of four.  It was an awesome day and I really enjoyed it!
