The apocalypse

Marcus - Rangitoto recount

School

On Thursday 11th June some TPS students went to Rangitoto. It was most of the year 7’s 6’s and 5’s. We put our kidscan warriors jackets on if it rained and because it was cold. We were told to stand up in our class lines.

   

Bus Ride

We walked out of school to the two busses waiting. The year 7’s got a bus to themselves. The bus driver was annoyed by our singing james and fa’a sang ABC and the girls sang a song that I don't know. after hours of torture we reached the cloud.

Boat Ride

We sat down on the ground while Misses Fepuleai was explaining what we were gonna do. we got a little board so we played pukana. we went inside and played chess, ping pong, badminton and Chopsticks. then we lined up into our class lines. We went on the boat(ferry). when we were on the boat we had bars and raw nuts with water. The engine started and we were turning. We saw the waves crashing against the boat. Pio threw up halfway but then he felt better. As we got closer we saw the black lava rocks, Wrecked houses. The boat stop at the rangitoto.

Walking

The teachers made us get into our class lines while a man explained what we were gonna do. Andre Bruce and I was put into a group with a man named nick. we walked up the hill and turned left. we followed the group in the front till they went the wrong way we tried to go without them but Andre called out to them. We walked and walked and walked my legs were gonna come of. Reaching the top felt like 100,000 tonnes came of my shoulders. I felt like I was the only one tired because when I was sitting they all ran to the house on top and the edges of the summit.
