Then we crossed a 6 metre wide river and went up a huge hill it was steep finally
wiari spotted they first peg the letter was (A) and then      we had a selfie with the peg it was so funny.And then









After that we went for a walk up the hill with our whole group the  letter of our group was  (D) when we got up the hill we took some photos and answered some questions and then walked back down the hill.




Then we did a water experiment we walked into the river
With a bucket and a net and collected water in the bucket and then pulled the net up stream and caught bugs then we went back to the table and got the magnifying glass and looked at the bugs and identified what bugs they were we caught a stonefly.
