No Photos but Wonderful Memories.

When we got up Mt St John, we discovered that the battery in the camera was flat.

We were very disappointed as the girls were having some very interesting experiences.

When we got back to the classroom and the girls were sharing fruit together, they talked about their time on our walk.

 

They talked about the very, very steep slope they walked down, that challenged us all...

Zoe said it took a long time.

Kate said it was scary. 

Inés said she was dizzy going down the mountain. 

Keira felt safe when she got to the bottom.

On the way down the steep bank, Inés told Mrs Bayes to hold her arms out to help her balance.

On the way to the pond Téa asked if ducks would be there, I said I didn't think so.

As we were standing next to the shallow water, a duck flew down and landed 

a few metres away from us on. We stood very, very still and it swam around, 

dipping it's head in the water finding food.

Téa noticed that the duck had the prettiest blue colour on it. 

What a wonderful encounter!

Luca remembered the cows drinking out of the water trough.

 

We flew plastic bag kites and Ines noticed that in some places the kites 

wouldn’t fly because there was no wind.

Ines did her exercises up on the mountain and she had to run fast.

Lily asked me to read a sign and it said “private property’.

Zoe said that means  that it’s a private area and we can’t go up and see it and she remembered that we also saw another sign that said private property in French. She thought that it shouldn't be there because this wasn't 'that country'.

Téa remembered that a nice lady invited us to visit her chickens. 

"They were two girl chickens and their names were Bock, Bock and Chock Chock".

 There was a cat there and it was black and white. Some girls patted the cat.

The lady gave us two eggs so we could do some baking!

So as you can see, not having a camera and relying on the girls memories to capture our adventures on the mountain was a very positive thing!
