Totaranui... Our way! Part 1

On Monday Room 10 got to school packed the cars and took off to Kaiteriteri. Why? School camp! Room 10 was heading off to Kaiteriteri to catch an Abel Tasman sea shuttle to Torrent Bay.

The boat we went on was called the Altaz and was one of the smaller shuttles. When we got to Torrent bay we started walking to Cleopatras’s pool. Cleopatra’s pool is a place between Torrent bay and Anchorage. It has a natural water slide carved out of the rock by water.

We spent about an hour at the pool going down the rockslide and eating lunch. When we were finished we walked to Anchorage where we had planned for the boat to pick us up. This boat was a bigger shuttle and it was called the Abel Dominator. When we got to Totaranui we walked up to the homestead, got a tour, unpacked, had tea and then we did a scavenger hunt around Totaranui. After that we did group entertainment. Tonight it was the Angry Ducks ‘possum hunt’, with a twist. The groups had to find the possums but there were also letters on the possums that they had to unscramble in to a sentence. That sentence was a clue to where the prize was hidden.

After everyone had found their prize (a lollipop under their pillow) we went up to the kitchen and wrote diaries for the day. We ended a great first day with hot chocolate and went to bed.

One day down, four to go!
