__UP their just imagine that it is EOTC WEEK!__

__EOTC WEEK!__ EOTC stands for Education Outside the Classroom.

**__Monday__**
On Monday year5 went rock climbing at extreme edge for half the day and the other half coropitive games at school. At extreme edge I managed to climb all the way to the top of the ocean one with ropes hanging down and you have to try and use the ropes to get to the top. I also went on one of the ones that a adult has to belay you.When my class was doing coropitive games there was so many games. E.g Circle of confusion and lots of different games.Circle of confusion is when A group of people all get their arms tangled by holding hands and try to untangle before the other team does.

**__Tuesday__**
On Tuesday year5 at the same time went to Waitarua Reserve to do orienteering. That's the one that my daddy went to. First we had to walk all the way to Waitarua Reserve instead of taking the bus.When we were their we ate some food to give us energy. After my group did orienteering first and other groups did roe game.We were given a sheet that had 1 2 3 in little printed boxes each. We had a map of Waitarua Reserve with some clues where to find a puncher. I called it that because it look like one but no exactly. It had a number written on it and that number will be on the map otherwise it will be the wrong one. At the top it looked like a crocodiles mouth with little needles at the top of it and down the bottom of the crocodiles mouth there were wholes. Each one of the puncher had a pattern formed by the needles. You had to put your piece of paper that had boxes printed in the crocodile mouth and punch it. When my group finished and came back where year5 had to meet we had lots of yummy food and lots of water. Next we had to do the roe game. It is like an Easter hunt. You had to write clues on a sheet. We went searching for questions we could write down. As soon as we finished the roe game we did another game of orienteering and as soon as we finished that we walked back to class.

**__Wednesday__**
On Wednesday we went to rangitoto island. First we went on a bus to catch the the fairy. It was my first time on a fairy. I went at the top but It was way to wobbly up there than down there. When we were at ranitoto island we had morning tea and after our class got to look at a batch on ranitoto island. A lady owned it and told us about it. Then it was time to swap over. We went on the beach and collect rubbish. I found lots of volcano rocks. After the clean up year5 got back together and got ready to walk up right to the top. We were exhausted and half way we stopped to have a drink plus rest. When we were up the top we had lunch. Mum gave me yummy food and lots! I gobbled it all up! Then we looked around. There was a little shelter that was shaped in a house. We had enough time to go to the lava caves! So we walked to the lava caves.When we were there we took the longer one and that was only my group plus others. We put our bags bat the entrance because it would be all squished in the cave. It was cool inside and pitch black. I couldn't really see. When we were out of the cave we went back to the entrance to get our bags and walked to the shorter caves. Then It was time to go back to the bottom otherwise we would of missed the fairy. On the way back on the fairy wasn't any problem Instead it was fun.

__**Thursday**__
On Thursday we got to do all sorts of stuff. First we made our dinner for Thursday because we was going to stay the night. My group and I did the dressing and salad. We had to wash the lettuce and dry it with a cool spinner thing that I have never heard of. And we had to make the dressing for the potatoes. Another group did the desert. It was a banana split. Then we saw people from surf life saving. They taught us how to be safe on on the beach. They were Lauren, Megan and Lucy. Then we had to make some sort of hut. We imaged that we missed the fairy and had to make a shelter because it rained. We were given only string and a plastic bag. My group made like a little hut with sticks holding the plastic bag on top. It was very fun although we did get alot of dirt on our feet. When it was time to go home I packed up my sleeping bag, pillow, teddy and all the stuff I needed to bring at 5:00 to put my stuff in the tent I was going to sleep in. We was going camping in our hall! When we came back at 5:00 we ate dinner and after we played orienteering in the dark and we had to find reflected tape with 3 letters on them. We didn't get to finish because it was time to go to bed. I got ready to go to bed. I couldn't go to sleep straight away but I managed.
