Term 2 has seen room 13 join the rest of Whakatu house in two serious days of walking as we build up to our Mount Robert walk on August 23.
The first walk was at the start of the Boulder Bank, which linked in with our studying of landforms this term and how the Boulder Bank was formed. We walked up above the eroding cliffs at Mackay's Bluff and also along the early part of the bank where the boulders have started moving on their journey, via longshore drift, towards Tahunanui Beach.
The walk up the Barnicoat from school proved a longer challenge with an added bonus of watching and helping paragliders at the top.
