Rafting with Te Tai Poutini Polytechnic

 

An ENORMOUS thank you to the staff and students at Te Tai Poutini Polytech for including us as their clients for the rafting on the Arnold river this week.

We all learned a lot about the safety aspects and skills of rafting.  We also had an absolutely fabulous and fun time testing those skills out.

Tino pai to mahi akonga!

At the end of the tramp!

How have we benefited from participating in the William Pike Challenge?

William Pike Challenge: Croesus Track

Part one of the scavenger hunt could be located on the information board at the beginning of the track.

Beautiful beech forest.

The weather started out sunny and clear.

Through the creek (not a 'rill') and up the bank.

Across the 'rill' by log or rock.

1000m to walk to get to the Ces Clark hut.

Garden Gully hut.

The Garden Gulley side trip was a quick detour for some.

Then the hail arrived... just like the forecast predicted.

Sometimes sitting seemed like a better option than walking.

Three swing bridges had to be traversed.

Checking the loading for each swing bridge meant waiting patiently.

Meme Challenge

This month part of our photography challenge was to create a meme of our choice.  Here are a couple of clever ones created by Cameron. The challenge is on!

Triangle Challenge

Ruma Tahi students were given a Triangle Challenge to complete as part of our mathematical inquiry into triangles. When we had completed the challenge we made Digital Learning Objects to show our understanding of our learning.

Please follow the links to some of our Digital Learning Objects.
