                           the farm

Last week on the 30th of October rooms three and four went to the farm in Whangaruru, at the farm, there are lots of activities like horse riding, motorbike riding, mud run/kayaking, campfire night, waterslide and bush crash. My favorite one was the mud run/kayaking so that’s what I’m going to write about. It was the second day being on the farm and it was Halloween It was the last activity my group was going to do for the day. When we were going to the mud we had to walk through the bush on the way we had to look out for blue dots called on-ons that showed us the way, when we saw one we called out ON-ON and we walked to it. When we got to the mud I was the first one to jump in the mud was about as deep as a small swimming pool and it smelled like rotten eggs, we could throw mud at people but only at their backs. Near the end, there was a small bit of mud called the shoe monster because people always lose their shoes in it, and once again I was the first one in but I went too slow and had to crawl out. Then we had to walk out of the bush to the kayaks when we got there we played around a bit while we waited for the kayakers when they came we started kayaking and washed off most of the mud, the kayaking was tiring but not that hard. When we got back I had a shower straight away and cleaned myself up.
