Kumara trip

Yesterday we went to kumara It was pretty cool, We did 4 activities with our school, The Londanderry rock walk, a drama activity In an old bathing pool, team building and history. My favourite history, people might find this weird but History is one of my favourite things to do, I find Interest in learning the past because some of the stuff they went through was really tough.

The londanderry rock
This was our first activity this was probably  one of the best ones because miss donavin put on an Irish accent and told story about the banshee. The walk was about 10 minutes and at the end was this huge rock that was estimated to way around 400 tons and back in the old days it rolled down the hill and the thump was so loud it apparently stopped clocks in kumara.

The Bathing Pool
On the way back from the walk we went to an old fashioned pool called the bathing pool (I think it was called that) when there we had to read or preform a play or poem. My group did a play on blackjack Joe an villain in kamara who terrorised the Irish by beating them up I was a retired bear fist boxer and I had to save the town by beating up black beard. it was kinda fun and I got a choco fish

Team Building
This was a OK one but the building was my favourite we had to make a catapult to explain and signify what people used to do to get a message across the river this was pretty fun but we got hardly got to start be four we were out of time!


History
The last thing that we did was a history lesson about kumara. there was this guy that dressed up as the mayor or kumara which was also the prime minister of NZ
