 Motu Moana Recount

I hear my voice call out to my team mates while the others tell me what to do. My heart is racing “What If we don’t make it” I think to myself. Finally, we get there with the potion safe and sound, now we have to cross the giant logs. I’m one of the people who have to go over and under, blindfolded, but even worse I have the potion! I make it with the potion safe! While blindfolded I am guided by one of my friends. When I made it, I had to go under a log that I could just walk under without bending my head. My team are calling out to me “ DUCK! DUCK! DUCK!”. I duck really low, took my blindfold off and turn around and then look at the log howling with laughter!

 We found our next challenge at the Spider Web. The rules are: only five people are allowed on the Spider Web at a time and we have to carry the potion over without spilling it. Our first round is using a lot of team work because five of us get on and then Jonathan hops of and Taina gets on with the potion in her grasp. Then she hands it to someone at the top, then down to me, I give it to Jonathan who is all ready at the end. I hop of and other people come over. While people are climbing over, I’m losing my voice shouting encouraging words. Eventually everyone gets over except Sarah, she is stuck at the top of the net and so are her fragile fingers! Rachel scrambles up to help her while I shout out instructions at them. The next round set to us is insane! We can’t talk to each other! I feel like I am going to explode! It is really hard, especially when I’m waving signals to Kayden to go down and he ignores me! The potion gets on and it is getting handed to Mathew. Mathew headed down, he tripped and spilt the potion! It is mournful! Then, the instructor said we can get the potion back by completing the human knot game. It is super hard because us girls are in a human knot! It is incredibly hard because I’m stuck in a painful position right now! The instructor yells “STOP”. We all stop and look at the boys that are finished.

Our next challenge is interesting because we have to have 11 people over the tall wall and 5 people over the short wall. It is really easy, especially with Taina’s help. Everyone gets over including me, but now we have to do another round. The second round is a bit of a challenge because we have to get everyone over the tall wall! Taina, Emma and I are the only ones left now. Taina and I help Emma over the wall and then I climb up the towering wall. It wasn’t hard because I used a special technique. While I am over I go and see what is going on because Taina can’t get over! So I get an instruction from my mum to go over and help Taina get over. My first try is hard because I move side ways. My second try is better because I am standing firm.She gets over and I climb over again. Our next job we have to vote for who would go on the Flying Fox and throw the potion in a bucket! We all decide that Taina should do it since she helped most of the people over the wall. So up she darts up and hops onto the Flying Fox and away she goes. There are two people here at the bottom holding the bucket. While Taina is coming down and I think to myself “Is she going to make it?!” She throws the potion with the cup going with it, ahh! Sadly she misses and we don’t save Pippin! It is tearful.

It is my favourite activity so far and even though we didn’t save Pippin we worked well as a team! I think everyone learnt a lesson to not be selfish and do your own thing, but to work as a team and let someone else have a chance! I loved it and I would love to do it again some time!
