Rainbows End by Abbie

Last Friday the Totara team went to Rainbows End. My favorite ride was the 'Goldrush'. It was fun so my team went on it two times. On the 'Goldrush' you are in a cart and you go in a big cave. You think you are going to go straight but you turn the coners, it is so much fun. My other favourite ride was the 'Log flume'. The 'Log flume' is when you are in a log and you go up and up and up. Then we went through a cave and at the end you go down a big, big slide. When you go down you lose your stomach, it is so cool yeah! I had lots and lots of candy floss and hot chips, yummy!
The people in my group were Jayde, Jaylee, Alyssa and me. Our parent helpers were Craig and my mum Robyn. yeah

Rainbow Ends Trip by Raymond

On Friday A1 went to Rainbows End. It was fun I went in to the 'Invader' which is a new ride. It was fun. It spins around in circles and moves up and down. These are some other rides that we went on Gold Rush/Log Flue/Power Surge/Mini Golf/Pirate Ship, but my favourite was the INVADER! We went in teams, our team had Kataraina/Araman/Pareeya/and me. Araman was scared to go on the Invader and Power Surge but me and the girls were brave to go on both of them. It was the best trip that I have been to and the camp too in term two. But the Rainbow Ends trip was in term four and our teacher says that there will be a trip again which I am really looking froward to. I hope it can be Rainbow Ends again because that trip was awesome for the end of the year. Well are almost at the end of the year for 2011.

Last Friday Totara team went to Rainbows End for a end of the year trip. We had to come to school at 6:30am, and we went at 7:00am. We stopped at Matamata for a toilet break. When we got there, it was about10:30am. I was in Molly's dad's group with my friends in the photo. Our group went on 5 rides, the Goldrush, Log Flume, Roller Costar, Pirate Ship and the Bumper Boats. The ride that I enjoyed the most was the Log Flume, it had changed from last time! I bought hot chips, candy floss and an ice-block. We left Rainbows end at 3 o' clock and arrived at school at 7:00, we were very exhausted, lucky it was on Friday!

Rainbows End By Juvlyn

On Friday the 25th of November the Years 5 and Year 6 children when to Rainbows End for a field trip. Everyone was so excieted, well mostly everyone. Some of the rides were really scary like the 'Fear- fall' and the 'Roller coaster'. Some people could'nt go on some other rides because they were too small. Most rides had a maximum limit for height.

On Friday A1, A2, C1 & C2 went to Rainbows End. In my group was Nahkel, Jaymie, Janet and also me. Our first ride we went on was the 'Fearfall'- you had to be 1.20 meters to go on it. I was in the middle it was so freaky. I said, "next minute" then we dropped, it was also freaky going up but then going down it was even scarier. It was like my guts dropped then I went on the 'Rollercoaster-' it was really fun. Next was the 'Invader'- it was really awesome. The whole trip was awesome.

For activities ther was a parachute, a word-find rush, and many more, as well as the main activite of skipping. We wore red to show our support for the Heart Foundation.
