On the 21 of november, 33 people went to a trip/sleepover at Arataki.
When we first got there, there was a park ranger named Dennis he was showing us around the park, it was huge. There was a room call leture room where we got to learn about the rules of Arataki. Meanwhile we went straight to the first activity it was a walk to a nursery for plants, while we were there we learnt how to find seeds then we finished that part we went on to planting the hardest plant the flaxs but he had already planted them so we just put them into a little plant pot like this.
then we had to change stations to put it into a pb2( plastic bag)
with holes in the bottom with a bigger size of flax in it.
Once that activity was done we had our morning tea.
Then we went with a new park ranger called Lockey
and he was so funny when we were with Lockey we went for a big long tiring walk though the bush and we were learning about how to survive in the forest. Sliver ferns is the best way if your lost from your tent, Lockey had them 50 metres away from his tent so when he found the ferns he found his tent.
Looks like you had a great time, I love the way that you have added lots of detail to your post. Can you tell me more about the seeds that you worked with and some of the rules?
ReplyDeleteHello Peter,
ReplyDeleteAwesome writing! I wish I could have gone to Arataki :(
Anyway, tell me more about the nightwalk. Was is really scary. One time, during camp last year, Kyle, me and another bunch of kids went for the nightwalk. While we were walking, one of us thought that we saw slenderman! It was absolutely creepy.
