  1. Hinerangi! Excellent work. I love the way you've organised your list, it's so clear and easy to read. You've also put in a bit of extra effort and added a few more things than you needed to. So a big well done!

    Everything you have chosen to bring is very sensible, useful and necessary. You sound as though you've been hiking before! On the day you will be well prepared too. What a great idea to tell a parent/adult what you are doing and where you are going.

    Have you been hiking before?

    What would you have for breakfast on the morning of a hike?

    Thanks, Billy

    You have been doing such an amazing job at all activity's.
    When going on a hike with you , you would have all of your things together. Every single item you have picked is great for hiking and when I go on hikes I would use those.

    Have you ever been hiking before??

    Kind Regards ,
    Leilani:)
