Outdoor education
25.07.2012


This wednesday we took the chance and went to Mount Cargo. We drove with a bus up the hill and started our journey from the highest point. There was a platform, which showed us the direction of important sights. After we had enjoyed the beautiful view we started our way downhill.
The track was really exiting, but it got even more exciting when we decided to climb up a quiet similar rock than the pipe rocks. After our little adventure we climbed the same mountain down and continued our track, which led us through the New Zealand forest. The forest is even in the winter season green and full of life. Almost at the bottom of the mountain we had a little break and shared our snacks. We were all quiet exhausted when we arrived at the carpark.

Our first trip: Sandymount (18.07.2012)

Last wednesday we went on our first trip with our outdoor education class to Sandymount in Dunedin. We drove together with Ms Fletcher and Ms Main to the Peninsula. When we got out off the car, we had a very nice view over the most photographed scenery of New Zealand. Then our adventure began. First we climbed up Sandymount. On top we took a group photo and had a little break. From that point we went down through sand dunes and mud and around the hill. We stopped at a viewpoint, from which we could see the amazing Lovers Leap. Next we hiked through a beautiful scenery and we could see lots of sheep. 

The whole trip took about an hour and a half and it was about 3.1kilometres long. 

At the end we were exhausted, but it was a great afternoon.
