Third Day of Wellington

On Wednesday we went to the Beehive and the Parliament House. We walked around in the Beehive and met this lady Erin. She showed us around the Beehive and the Parliament House. Jacinda Ardern works on the highest floor. After she showed us around the Beehive we went across to the other side to the Parliament House. The Debating Chamber was inside the Parliament House which the Queen isn’t allowed to pass the red carpet, so she isn’t allowed  in the Debating Chamber. After that we went to the National Library to see the Treaty Of Waitangi, but sadly the real treaty wasn't there so we were going to go there the next day. Once we were finished there we walked to the Cable Car and drove up to the other Cable Car up the hill, it saves us from walking up so many hills.

Second Day of Wellington

The next day in Wellington we drove to the lookout to see the whole city. After that we went to Te Papa and explored everywhere. The Gallipoli exhibition was the best part because of the giants which gave me a fright when we first walked in. I enjoyed looking at all of the Gallipoli exhibition because they looked so real. After exploring Te Papa we went to the Zoo. Once we got there a man showed us around the zoo for 45 minutes talking about the animals, what they eat, what they do during the day,  night and what the workers do for their jobs. After them talking to us we went into our groups so that we could explore the zoo.

First Day Of Wellington

Last Monday Mrs Lindsay and three adults took the year 7&8s down to Wellington on camp. We started our day off with a karakia at school before hopping on the road. We left school about 9.30 to travel down to the Auckland airport. The funniest thing on the plane was me squeezing Muscles arm because it was my first time on a plane. Once we arrived in Wellington we hopped into two different vans and drove to Te Herenga Waka Marae because that's where we were staying.  Once we got there we had people powhiri us into Te Herenga Waka Marae. After the powhiri we went to grab our bags out of the van and made our beds. Then we went for a walk up the street to this cool park. 

Lucky for us we only had to pay $50 for $17,000 just to go to cool place in Wellington. I would like to say a big thank you to our principal for taking us down to Wellington and a big thank you to all the parents that transported us down to Auckland and back. 

Felling exited for Wellington

Kia ora bloggers.

In term one the year 7&8 plan to go to Wellington for our school camp. Since then we have been working so hard to make $1700 to go. We have been busking every cruise ship that has come into Paihia and normally we make about $500. Everyone who’s going to Wellington has to pay $50 to go so that we are helping to pay for the trip. Everyone is very excited to go because some people haven't been to Wellington or on a plan. We are leaving next Monday and coming back next Friday. We are allowed to bring $25 to spend while we are there.
