North Head

Tamaki Primary Students take

Devonport...

Written by: Jennifer & Chasity & Taylor

Photography by: Kyla Hansell

Tamaki primary students boat across the Waitemata Harbour as they go on a trip to North Head.

On Wednesday 12th of March 2014 Room’s 1,4,6,8,9 travelled by bus and ferry across the Waitemata Harbour to Devonport on a trip to North Head. Still remaining at Devonport Park their teacher Ms. Kyla Hansell Instructed her students to line up, so they are ready for the long walk.

As they exit the park onto the local streets, Taylor a student from her class say’s “It’s pretty Tiring walking up this mountain, but then again it’s worth it because we’ll be able to have a long rest once we’re up there.” Jennifer replied “Its a great exercise  it might be the first and last exercise I am going to have for the week.”

Students surround the cannon looking at information and also the historical sights. As themselves teachers direct students to pack up their lunches and to be ready for another Huge walk. Climbing up hills and walking down stairs a couple of Year 8 students carry younger students on their back, as they get tired. People from the community walk into night-like tunnels heading into others as they get towards the end.

Some students that attended the trip said that they wanted to go through the other tunnels but they weren’t allowed as the tunnels were noted “Blocked off!..”.

As you can see in this photograph, teachers had told the children to surround the cannon as they were going to take a photo of them. Teachers called out “3,2,1 TAMAKI!..” They shouted and cheered while posing.

As time passed by everyone carried on towards the entrance of North head, they then parted into their individual classes and headed towards the ferry drop off. Room 1,4,6,9 and some of room 7 headed on the ferry, ready for the big ride, room 8 had to wait until the next ferry came, which was understandable.

As they waited room 8 students said “We had a great time and we learnt so much! It was an amazing experience!”

A ferry was near by, the security man said that room 8 could aboard the boat. Room 8 students boarded the boat along with miss Kyla. The engine started, they knew they were off across the Waitemata Harbour.

Reading Log - A Handful Of Blue - Chapter 6 summary

When Jeremy and his family came back home from his uncles house, Jeremy and His sister was sent off to bed. In the morning when Eddie came over, he was yelling that there were 53 whales on the beach. Tessa and Jeremy were eating breakfast and wanted to go straight away. Tessa and Eddie went running out but Jeremy didn't because he thought he was still grounded. His mum said he could go which made him really him really happy. When they got down to the beach Tessa went to sit by one of the baby whales. A guy came to tell off some people who were riding their motorcycles on the beach. He was counting all the whales and Eddie said that there were 53 whales but the man said that he had to double check. The gentleman said that there was a meeting in 15 minutes if you want to help out the whales. As Jeremy and Eddie walked through the sand they could see Tessa is really sad about something.

Our Trip To North Head

Today, Room 8 bused into the city, caught a ferry AND walked to North Head to see the Historic Reserve as part of our studies on ANZAC.  It was an amazing day and we saw so many interesting things.  For some students, it was their first time on a ferry!  We look forward to applying our learning from our trip into our classroom learning for the rest of this term.  Thank you to the parents who helped us get there and back safely!
