The wheels on the bus go to 'Forest Hill'

Well, our trip went from being postponed due to rain on the Monday to a glorious sunny day for us to head to the forest on Tuesday!! Yahoo.

Children and parents all loaded onto the bus set for an adventure. Questions were pondered..."I wonder if we see any dinosaurs" asked Malachi. "Nah, probably just bones" thought Sam. "Will it be scary" asked Molly.

Well we were soon about to find out as we turned onto the road to the Forest Hill reserve.

Driving along the bumpy road, the excitement in the air was infectious, especially when Sam turned to Declan and said, "I'm a little bit excited". I don't think you were the only one Sam!!

As we reached our destination the bus came to a halt and the 22 children all clambered off the bus set for an adventure.

Challenges were set as Judy passed around a list of treasures to find on their bush walk...I wonder who could fine the tallest tree, the sun, some big flat leaves, and was there a tree with flaky bark? And who knew there would be some teddy bears partying in the forest??

At the end of our walk we discovered a cave...Watch out for bears, and dinosaurs too for that matter!! By after a bit of a read of the sign we found out it was a Weta Cave. Talking about dinosaurs...Sam was right!! We did indeed find some bones, cool!! A big thanks to all our treasure hunters, you were awesome.

Also a big THANKS to all our parents helpers!! We couldn't go on these excursions without your help.

Cheers,

Kylie and Judy!!
