Climbing trees

by             Emalaina and Ebony

Your legs move for your body

The bumps on the tree are lumpy

Your heart beats like thunder

Then your hands get red and uglier.

Your mouth opens to breath.

When you get to the top you’re wanting to leave.

Your legs get tired

While your face gets burned fired.

But when you get down

You fall like you’ve earned a crown.

When you’re climbing down and you go one by one

Then you know you are a champion.

Hi Everyone
I think everyone would agree, what a wonderful day we've had at MERC. Although, it started with raining cats and dogs, the rain soon settled down and a bit of sunshine crept through in the afternoon.
 So proud of you all having a go, facing your challenge.....doing something new at abseiling, kayaking and raft building. Thank you all for showing respect to Tangaroa (the Protector of the Sea). IC

Abseiling: keep your feet straight on the wall, lean back and go down.

Go Girl Power!

Safety first: put on the websuit, then life-jacket.

paddling warm up....left down up and right down up...

                                                               Hopped on the kayak and off we go!

                                                                   Hurray!I'm the first to paddle to shore!

These knots will come in useful for building a raft.

Now, what kind of knots will be good to tie these barrels?

Now, makes sure the plank is secured to the barrels.

Lets go for a test drive! Will it fit all of us....
