Our Trip to Goat Island
You should really go to Goat Island wanna know why? Read this.
After 2 hours it was our turn we put on our suits and I went in, it was super cold.
The further we went it got deeper and
On Monday all the year 5 and 6 students went to Goat Island Marine Reserve for snorkelling.
We all had to gather in front of the school office. Some people came late so we had to wait for them.
While we were waiting we had to get our hats because it was getting hot and sunny. ‘I don’t have a hat.
’ Josaia said, so I had to give him one because I had two.
Some of the Year 5 and Year 6 students got on this cool bus. It was like a rugby bus.
We had to wait 2 hours and 29 minutes to get there. While we were in the bus we sang some songs like
‘Wheels on the bus’, the song from’ Coca Trompoloco’ then we sang ‘Hallelujah’.
We arrived at Goat Island.’ It looked nice and wonderful’ we all said. We got off the bus and met Frazer,
Sophie, Chris, and Eva. They told us that were are gonna be 2 groups. The first is gonna go snorkelling
and the group 2 has to stay on land then we switch.’ I’ll call the snorkeling group and the other group will
stay with me’
The first group got into their suits and put on the snorkeling mask and the fins. They also said all of these
come in sizes like small to xxlarge.
While they were there we were minding our own Business eating morning tea.
We all were having fun while they were taking their time putting on their suits.
Sake was the first to put it on. It looked super tight and squishy. I imagined us going in the sea.
It looked kind of shallow but it was actually deep in my head but that didn’t bother me.
The sharks bothered me because they might come back because they sacrifice goats to the sharks as a
ritual. That's why it's called Goat Island.
deeper until we saw fish. Some of us went down to catch one of them or hold one of them.
While we were still up there ‘ he held a fish in his hand ‘ said josaia in my brain.
I thought it was probably pretty easy. Back to the swimming part we went to the deepest side.
We were actually on a marine reserve.
It was a 5 meter swim there. We got there but we had to go back so we swam back.
Huti and I had a race. We swam from the deep side all the way to the shallow ,we were so tired.
Then we got on the bus and did a human ipod. This is how you play ; if they say a word you got to
have a song with that word if you dont you will lose after 5 minutes. We stopped playing then
Huti and Sio were singing ‘ shut up you two you guys are horrible’ because we all were sleeping.
I also went to sleep and woke up at school.
