This Tuesday afternoon room 8 had a visitor to talk about our goals and what we want to achieve. The visitors were some of the people that went to walk to 80 km in under 24 hours to raise money for our school,St Pius and Literacy for adults and amazingly they raised $4,600. Dreydon,Kate and Tony are their names. Dreydon was the only one out of them four that walked to 80 km but Tony and Kate were the supervisors. He also had a presentation planned for us to watch and he explained every detail.
During the presentation there were some photos of their walk and he was talking about his experience and what was going on while they were walking. A few people dropped out after a few hours because they couldn’t walk any longer or they had an injury. We came to a slide with questions about what our goals are and what we are going to do to achieve them so Dreydon gave us a few minutes to discuss with a partner. He even showed us their goal that they managed to achieve.
We were getting to the slides about safety and what they would need to have while walking. The things they needed was a camel back bag with a drinking tube connected to their bag, also some snacks in their side pockets and the middle part. They also needed some comfortable shoes for walking in the mud and uneven surfaces, there were two other important supplies a head torch for when it gets dark and a beacon for the rescue helicopter if anyone got hurt.
It came to the end of the presentation with a picture of the whole group. The great news was that 3 people completed the 80km walk in 23 hours. Dreydon also mentioned a lady that had a broken finger and her doctor told her to rest but she didn’t listen. She was also the only female that completed the 80 km walk, she also got a award.

I really enjoyed reading your story about the visitors that came to your school. I think you just need to check your work before you blog it because I saw some mistakes. I have wrote a story about Dreydon and Kate. What goal was Dreydon and his team manage to achieve?
Talofa Lava ALyssa,
I thought that you have explained the gear that they needed very well. I forgot to add how the lady broke her finger but still did the walk. DO you remember how Dreydon showed us pictures of the view he got to see on the walk? I did! What did you learn about his walk?
