Waiheke Trip

Our trip to Waiheke started by the Ferry Building, leaving the city - our interpretation of the dystopian site (Halloway's city).

On the ferry itself we found that the stairs to get from one level to another were particularly steep.

There were a lot of stair ways. Each stair was clearly defined by a yellow stripe on its edge.

The textures on the boat were really interesting.

Getting off the ferry, down another flight of stairs.

Cam testing our stairs

Our stairs were made of sticks, sand and seaweed, and it was stable enough to support Cam.

A long trip up to our Garden city site. We were counting the stairs on our way up, I think there were about 285!

We also learned how to make concrete

 

We needed the right consistency of water and concrete mix, and mixed it thoroughly. Then we added black pigment to colour the concrete.

The concrete was made for Mike's pathway, and we put them into coffee cups and made sure all the air bubbles were taken out.
