Day 3 camp

Today we went to kerikeri. Kerikeri is the largest town in Northland , New zealand its near our campsite which is in Russel. We went there to see the stone store, Kemp house and Rewa's village.

First we went to see the Kemp house, we saw lots of old things. We learnt what they used for writing which was slates and a black stick as the pencil. Then we went in to the next room which had a picture of Hongi hika a leader of iwi Ngapuhi tribe and it had a picture of his daughter Hariata rongo hika. After Mrs Raj chose seven people to go to the upstairs room. It was a little scary for me because there were two rooms with dolls on the bed. After we went back down stairs and played a game where we have to throw a ring on to a wooden stick, Then we went outside to take a photo.

Next we went inside the stone store which is the oldest store in New Zealand, it had lots of cool things in there. I think in the stone have been trading things like muskets ever since it was built. And it had a music box that could play different kind of music my favorite was the pink panther. Then we had to go to the upstairs to do a quiz. After the quiz we went outside to look at the view of the waterfall.

Next we went to Rewa's village to see how the maori lived what they live in, we also took a photo outside one of the houses that they ised to live in.

Finally we did a scavenger hunt. We had to go through the stone store and the forest and it was tiring because we had to walk a lot, the team that won the scavenger hunt was group 1. After that we went on the ferry back to our campsite, we also had pasta for dinner.

at the end of the day I felt really happy because we got to experience lots of places and learnt lots of things.
