Manuka Hub had a fabulous day visiting the Big Redwoods up Te Mata Peak on Wednesday.
We started the day by making our own sandwiches for lunch before the buses arrived to take us up to the Te Mata Peak carpark. We hiked to the little Redwoods for morning tea, spotting a little Manuka tree and a fantail on the way. Then we carried on, following the purple markers until we arrived at the Big Redwoods.
We played, explored, climbed, created and collected among the GIANT trees.
It was an amazing day!

The bus ride was a lot of fun, especially on the windy and bumpy Te Mata Peak road!
When I hopped off the bus I was so excited! We walked on the bumpy track and Manuka hub went on the steep track. By Jerome
Off we go!
We spotted a cute little fantail flittering around us.
Can you see the fantail?
Wow! What a long walk to the big Redwoods. I saw a fantail flittering around a Manuka tree. We found out that Te Mata Peak used to be under water because there were shells along the path. By Finley

To get to the Big Redwoods we had to follow the purple markers.
Some of the tracks were wide.

Morning tea time.
Parts of the track were steep and narrow.
On Wednesday Manuka hub went to the Redwoods and the paths were bumpy and wavy. I kept falling over. I was scared of the one path. It was very steep. We had to be careful. By Erin
