Well Done Doris and Regan N for showing Mana and representing the year 6's with pride. You are wonderful wet day monitors. I am so impressed with your leadership!

Did you hear about the leeches?

Did you hear about the leeches at Lakewood lodge?

Did you even know we had native bloodsucking leeches called Segmented worm in New Zealand?
Well, I didn't until it happened. The leeches were gripping on with all there might sucking away at Mrs.
Cometti. The leeches can suck 20 - 45 minutes at a time, sucking up to 15 milliliters of blood.
Did you know that leeches have 32 brains? That’s a lot of brains right!
The reason is, that the internal structure (brain) is split into 32 pieces and each piece has its own
segment of brain. The Segmented Leeches can grow up to 15-30 mm long in size.

Rock climbing with Group 3 and Jade

Climbing was sooo fun!

Jade the instructor got us to set realistic goals so we could reach them. For some people, it was climbing to the top of the 12-meter wall and ringing the bell!!!!

We got pep talks from our team, Mrs Cometti, and Jade if we felt like we were stuck. I (Shiloh) overcame my fear of heights and had to trust myself and the belayer.
I (Nicole) had to think about where to put my hand next and try not to look down, in the end I was proud of myself and reached my goal!

FUN!!!!!!!!
