Room 9's Adventures in Ross Creek

On the 1st of June our class went to Ross Creek.  It was our second time here.  As we stepped into Ross Creek we saw so many barky trees, it looked like we were in Wonderland!  As we smelt musty, dusty, soily earthy dirt surrounding the trees we felt overjoyed.

Next we heard the chit chat of children's voices saying "how exciting it was to be here again."  We heard bellbirds chirping like mixed up bird sounds of the world.  We saw trees that had woody vines twirling around like hydro-slides.

Soon we arrived at the Reservoir that was metres below us.  With the help of a lake, the Reservoir supplies Dunedin's water supply.  We also saw little smurf mushrooms, they were so cute.  The Reservoir was cool but not very big, that is why the lake also helps to supply water to Dunedin.

Next we were given a nice surprise because we were off to Woodhaugh Gardens.  As we stepped out of Ross Creek our legs were so tired but we could still just survive walking without collapsing!  

Finally we arrived, we ate lunch and had a play. Our friend Ruby, found an awesome bird's nest in amongst the trees.  There was this really cool whizzing whirling flying fox which was awesome!  There was also a seesaw that you could stand up on but our favourite was the whizzing whirling flying fox!

Ross Creek was so much fun that we all want to go back another day!
