Hemi Matenga
Hemi Matenga
On Monday, my class went to Hemi Matenga for our topic - from the hills to the sea - and did the small Kohekohe walk.
While we were walking, we did occasional stops to do bush activities such as one where we had to draw the plant with detail, measure the leaf and identify it with a sheet that had loads of names of plants on them. We also did another activity where there was a sheet with different layers of the bush transformed into house names such as furniture, roof trees and carpet shrubs. We had to name one of the trees in each section, and the describe the type of trees they were.
At the start and end of the track, there were huge water tanks witch pumped up water to the top of the mountain. This creates the pressure that makes the water come out of the taps.When we got to a high of the mountain bit we could see the school.
To get there we had to organise transport. We also had to send home permission slips to assure that the teacher could take us out of school, so we joined the two things together to make one permission slip.
