Aroha Island camp
W.A.L.T upload my reflection of camp to my blog and write about.
Last week the year five and 6's went to Aroha Island for the end of year. We were all so exited. Aroha Island is near Kerikeri. When you get there you are greeted by many native birds and trees like to tuis, fantails, pigeons, kereus, pohutakawa and totara. There is a narrow Causeway across because it is surrounded by water and at night you can sometimes hear kiwis and even see them if you're lucky.
Here is my camp reflection:
