Kokako Lodge Camp 2014

Welcome to another post looking back at the year that was 2014.

GREAT GROUP: The two year levels sit and relax for a
period of time

The Kokako Lodge Camp was held earlier this term in 2014, in the Hunua ranges. Involving the Year Seven and Eights of Tamaki Primary. For four days, in separate groups, they were involved in activities such as abseiling (the act of using rope to safely control the way down to another point below, if that makes sense), archery (an act of shooting an arrow to a target, and some have shot the target, target being a bullseye), kayaking (the act of crossing streams and waters with a kayak, while also controlling the currents (?)), and many more.

Not only were there survival skills learnt, but also, the group of Year 7&8s hosted a Fiafia night in the lodge area. Some said, and I report, that some groups were really outstanding with their performances. Don't know which group, but I heard a lot of talk about the group, Express, or Xpress, or something like that.
