Lake Daniell

Lake Daniell

On The 12th of June,  rooms one and eight, Ms Kemp,
Mrs Robins and eight other parents went to Lake Daniell
near Springs Junction.

First we got into our car groups and then headed off. I
was in Ms Kemp’s car with Billie. We stopped in Reefton
to catch up with the group and to go to the toilet and to
stretch our legs.

When we finally got there we got together and had a talk,
then Ms Kemp gave us all a number to number off. After
the number off we started walking. We did a few stops to
get the group all together. My legs were getting sore from
some hills.

By the time we got to the lake I was really hungry but before
I had some lunch I went to look at the lake. The water was
really cold but I expected it to be because it is winter. After
we had lunch we
started walking back. I walked back with Mackenzie and
Sasha.

By now my legs were really sore and I just wanted to sit
down but I powered through. When I knew we were near
the Sluice Box I collected a few rocks so I could chuck them
in.

After the Sluice Box I was so excited because I knew the end
was near so I started walking faster. When we could see the
cars we started running, and when we made it I sat down
straight away,it felt so good.

We waited for the group to make it to the end. After we had a
talk we got back into the car and headed back home. By the
time we got back to Greymouth it was 5:45. Ms Kemp dropped
Billie off first and then me. I was so glad to be home.
