Callaghans Ridge Tramp

Thursday 11th of April 2019 room 1, room 8, Parents, Ms Kemp and Mrs Truman went on a
tramp on the Callaghan's Ridge track. Before we left Ms Kemp had to check that we had the
right gear. I held a tarpaulin and someone else in my group held some rope for when we made
our bivvys. Then we went into our car groups and headed off.


We drove through Kumara to get to Callaghans and once we got there we made sure everyone
was there. Me and my friends walked at a slow pace so that we wouldn’t get too tired or slip
over tree roots. We saw lots of blue mushrooms and at one point we spotted a Kea!


Once we got to a nice clear spot we made wind and rain proof bivvys. In my team there is
Sam, Callan, Xavier and Grace. When we finished making our bivvys we ate our lunch and
Ms Kemp gave each team some jelly frogs as a reward. We started walking once everyone
had eaten lunch and taken down their bivvys. 
Then we walked to the end of the track and made sure everyone was there. 

I enjoyed seeing blue mushrooms and all the different birds like the Kea and Weka.
I think my team worked well together especially when we had to make our bivvys. We
took turns cutting the rope and holding the tarpaulin.
