EOTC Week

The students in Room 20 had a fabulous time at camp. This is just a snapshot of what we got involved in - you really had to be there! Some of the kids overcame some huge obstacles and achieved heights that they had never dreamed they would.
High Ropes at Tui Ridge
Jack said, “ The instructor ended up flying because she couldn’t take the weight of some people!”
Markus said, ‘One of the parents who was with us let us down really fast and then stopped it so that we bounced! I went down spy style.”
Daniel barrel-rolled off the log and Heidi, a parent, came flying forward!
Ailee said it took Tiana 5 minutes to get to jump off at the end and Ailee liked making the bridge wobble.
Shagufta didn’t go because she is afraid of heights but enjoyed watching everyone else.

Mountain Biking at Tui Ridge
Euan didn’t enjoy the mountain biking at all!
Markus’ shoes started out with white and ended up brown!
Tiani said, “I came down this hill and I did this big drift thing and I ended up falling off my bike! It was fun!”
The puddles were big enough to swim in as Bella discovered!

In the car park Daniel was riding along and wanted to test how good the brakes were. He flew over the handle bars! He concluded that the brakes were good!
